Great Attorney

In 2008 Dorothy took me on as a client when no one else would because my soon to be ex husband was a lawyer. My lawyer previous to her allowed my case to deteriorate into a serious downward spiral. Dorothy took my case and did a fantastic job. She is knowledgeable, hardworking and unafraid to make th...e difficult arguments. I will forever be grateful to her for her efforts in my behalf and on such a difficult case.

Thorough and effective

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!

Anonymous Reviews? Really.

I am a former client of Dorothy's and I am so surprised at these "anonymous" negative reviews. If you review someone for their service, at least have the courtesy of stating your name, real or fictitious. I am a grateful client who has been helped to move on with my life and with my kids through a d...ifficult divorce. I thank Dorothy and her staff for their help.

Forever grateful

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

She was my saving grace

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!!
