Avoid at all cost

Kevin will hear your case, take your money, and then bail. I am hoping to hear from him and get a refund so that I can do what he wants me to do, stop asking for his advice and "find new representation." Kevin, If you read this, please just refund my money and I'll be happy to find a new attorney as ...you advised 2 days ago.

Kevin Leigh Dorhout's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Kevin
Anthony Allen Roach headshot
Anthony Roach

Real estate lawyer | Jun 25

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I do not endorse this lawyer. Mr. Dorhout sent his client to my personal residence to harass and intimidate me. After pointing out deficiencies in his civil case, he has retaliated against my civil client by participating in the prosecution of frivolous felony charges against one of my clients. He should not be a member of the State Bar."

Family lawyer | Aug 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I proudly endorse Mr. Dorhout. Kevin has the legal knowledge and trial skills to get the job done! His professional and practical approach to a family law matter gives him a unique "big picture" concept that clarifies rather than complicate an already complex matter. Bottom line: He is a sharp attorney that gets it done."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
