Dorothy Louise Carfrae

Ms. Carfrae showed compassion for me personally, and legal understanding of my dire situation as it relates to custody. She saw my documentation and saw my previous attorney's failures. She took my case, and in 20 minutes later, the court sided with me. She has continued to review the other aspect...s of my case, pointing out the great failures of my other attorney who allowed me to get kicked around. The tides are turning!

Don't trust this lawyer "Minor's Counsel" This lady is a turncoat in our Family court system. I personally witnessed this lawyer completely lie to the Judge on three occasions now. Once I had to subpoena her documents to get my point across. If thats what it takes, I recommend doing it. First, she be...lieves she can interview a child in 15-20 minutes whom she had no prior contact with for more than a year and testify and recommend on that child's best interest in regards to Education, Health, and Welfare. WOW! Only 15-20 mins. WOW! In addition BEWARE she will only interview one parent and give that one parents allegations to the court without interviewing the other parent. Therefore I suggest, be ready to object in court on gender bias and state the exact code. Look it up. Ask the court to strike her statements and/or relieve her. This goes for both mother/and fathers. Remember she is a turncoat. Second, This lady Ms Carfrae, will only do what's best for herself in the eyes of the court. Meaning, no matter what, she will side with the Judge even knowing that his decision is wrong. Third, she believes the rules of court do not apply to her. Hence Rules of Evidence. Do not allow her to present testimony that came from anyone other than herself. Hearsay. Be ready to Object and Object often. BEWARE!!! She does not file any reports when the court so orders her to do so. DEMAND her to file a report and do not allow her to give any testimony until she does file the report. Rules are rules so do not allow her to break them because once she does she will continue to take advantage of her attorney title. STOP HER IMMEDIATELY!! Fourth, She will blame the party for not calling, emailing, or writing to set up an appointment. If your paying her, via monthly payments, contract, and/or PACT where does it say that the client needs to call to make an appointment. Although when you do call, write, and email Ms. Carfrae will say you did not try to contact her. BEWARE!!! This review is for the reader's whom are considering Ms Carfrae for counsel. Just remember one thing. BEWARE!!!

I had a horrible experience with her services. Aside from going through four parallels and none knew what was going on with my case, I’d say she’s your typical lawyer that meets with you 5 min before the court to discuss concerts ... She tends to find the best gate keepes because I was never able to ...speak with her nor did she ever returned any of my calls. There was a huge opportunity for me to get custody of my child because her mother was found guilty of child abuse on her other child and I was not able to reach her during this. She’s very pricy for the service she offers. I guess practicing law for almost 40 years makes you just a collecting machine and not care about your clients. Time to retire. I would never recommend her!!!

Dorothy has handled two cases of mine in which custody and visitation were the battle as said before in some reviews she's worth every single penny I highly recommend her to anyone she is very knowledgeable unprofessional. Her staff were great to work with. Being a single mom she allowed me to make m...onthly payments which made her great service is Affordable for me. I am forever grateful to Dorothy my children are grown adults with their own children now and I was able to share memories and know that they were safe with me all those years

I am a real client!!! Yes Dorothy is worth every red cent I gave her. She helped get me my divorce and custody quickly she put orders in place do that my children and I were safe from my husband at the time, and my children's father who had been sentenced to prison for 2 yrs. for domestic violence ch...arges. Their is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for her because my 3 daughters and I are safe and protected. I would refer her to anyone!!
