Beyond amazing

Helped every step of the way of a 5 yr long divorce process that should've been simple. Kept me in loop of everything. Was professional the whole time even with frustrating hold ups.

I'm very happy I found Mr. Forney

Damon Forney spent a lot of time explaining how he could help me before I decided to retain him as my lawyer. His senior paralegal, Dianne Jones, truly listens and cares about my situation. I feel confident that I made the right decision with this law firm. My initial hearing for spousal supp...ort went very well thanks to the preparation on their part. I'm sure that future hearings will go just as well.

Great experience for a bad situation

Honestly, any time legal is involved there is always a sense of uneasiness and uncertainty. From the first meeting with Damon he was great gave me a few pointers for legal advice as well as personal advise of how to cope with the issues. When things came down to the line Dianne did a lot of the coo...rdinating with myself, one thing I appreciated was that no matter my mood she was calm and collected and could help ease my mind. Dianne provided me with many great resources to help me understand the process, to include documentation, conversation and youtube videos. The whole team made the process easy. In the hours and meetings there they always asked about me on a personal level not just worried about making money off the case. They were there to answer questions on COVID and always got back to me in a timely manner. One thing that impressed me was Dianne made me write my coffeshop memo, basically telling my story so they could better understand what they were working with. They also ensured all the documentation was appropriate and correct something, they had great attention to even the smallest details, what I saw through the process isn't true of all firms. Overall I would highly recommend Doppelt and Forney, Damon and Dianne were an amazing team to work with.

Excellent Family Court Attorney

Damon is a consummate professional attorney that will be up front on what to expect and what is required to win your case.

Well prepared!

Damon Forney capped a four-month effort to correct a giant legal exposure that existed for a 22 year old divorce settlement. He started the process with a thorough review of my position, presented options matched with potential outcomes. His accurate advice was easily enough to give me comfort to pro...ceed with my filing. The virtual court appearance was no barrier to his thorough preparation and readiness to present my case in a most convincing manner with appropriate legal references. He orchestrated a successful pleading, a 100% win in my case. Hire this attorney if you need effective representation with the superior back office Paralegal support from Ms. Dianne Jones. This is the A-Team!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have opposed Mr.Forney in a pre-marital matter, and I have been a colleague for over a decade. He is one of the good lawyers that is able to zealously advocate for his clients, but also provide wise confidential counsel. While many lawyers (particularly in family law) are willing to profit from a client's initial frustration and litigate issues that have little chance of success (for a handsome hourly fee), Mr. Forney respects his clients enough to ensure that the cost-benefit analysis is considered. There is no 100% likelihood in family law. But at least Mr. Forney is honest with his clients about their chances and their objectives BEFORE they pay him thousands of dollars for a misguided motion. I feel that this trait adds to Mr. Forney's credibility with Courts; they do not see him arguing frivolous motions, so when he is arguing for his client, Courts know he's addressing a legitimate issue."
