Dorothy Louise Carfrae

I was referred to Ms. Carfrae by a friend. Initial consultation was very impressive, was told that I would most likely settle for $100,000. There were no children involved and little assets together, so it was a relative simple divorce, should have taken no longer than 6 months to settle. It ended... up taking almost 2 years and the settlement resulted in 1/3 of what she originally told me that I would be awarded. Calls were not returned, forms/letters were lost, folder was lost, very little contact during this period with Dorthy, most contact was with the paralegal and that was like pulling teeth. Needless to say this was a very emotional period and the lack of professional treatment I received only added to the stress of the whole situation. My obsservation is that she takes on more than she and her staff can handle; therefore you end up with little personal attention. I'm just thankful that there were no children/custody issues involved. My advice is to do your homework when retaining an attorney. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend Ms. Carfrae.

Dorothy was appointed by the Judge to represent my children in my highly confrontational and difficult divorce. She showed that she cares about my kids and their best interests. She was always there for them, and took the case to the end, with the results being what's good for the children. She did... not represent me, but I feel that she did extremely well by my young children. Thanks to her, they will be fine.
