Could not ask for a better result

My experience with Doppelt & Forney was one of complete satisfaction with outstanding results. In fact, I can honestly say that the whole staff was professional, and they kept me in the loop from start to finish. Dianne was reassuring and displayed an immense talent for customer service. I totally re...commend this law firm to anyone who wishes success.

Wonderful Experience / Great Pricing / Great Outcome!

I was in serious need of legal representation due to my divorce that suffered from a failed mediation process and I found myself in an extremely vulnerable state not knowing what to do. I immediately began shopping attorneys and some wouldn't even take my initial call without charging $3-400 dollars,... others were not the right fit, some were great, and then I spoke to Damon Forney with Doppelt and Forney and I was comfortable and felt like I had true help within the first few minutes of our call. Damon took my initial call at no charge, he was kind, caring, took the time to truly listen to my story, comforting during a really challenging time, and most importantly I felt like I had true help. Divorce is hard and it can be scary when finances are up for grabs. Additionally, the most lovely bonus is Damon's paralegal, Diane. Diane is a lovely lady and like Damon she is caring, responsive, knowledgeable, and takes the time to want to understand the scenario as all cases are different. From a pricing stand point they are very fair, you'll know where your retainer is being spent, and Diane + staff will keep you informed on every step of the process. If you are need of legal assistance, please look no further as Doppelt and Forney are outstanding and will help you get to the best outcome extremely fast hence ultimately saving you time and money. - Kelly

The Right Choice!

I have been very satisfied with my decision to retain this law firm. Damon and his team have made me feel better about my situation and even assisted when they didn’t have to. Damon has been upfront and honest with me from the consultation which I really appreciate. Even when on vacation, he has ...been able to help me out and I look forward to communicating with him once he returns. Associate Attorney Steven Aicher was awesome filling in for Damon! He made me feel very comfortable during a uncomfortable situation during the hearing. He wanted to know everything he could before hand so he was prepared and he was. Thank you Steven! Last but not least is Senior Paralegal Dianne Jones. I have had the most contact with her since retaining this firm. She has done so much more than I could have asked to this point. You can tell she truly cares about your case and wants the best for you. It really helps to know you have people like her in your corner. She is always so quick to respond or even call! The first weekend I retained this firm, she sent me an email on a Saturday night with information I needed. All I can say is thank you Dianne for everything you have done and for everything you will do going forward. You will be in good hands with Dianne, Damon, and Steven!

Best ever!

I was offered the best service. Everyone in their office was super friendly and professional at all times, which made the divorce process a bit easier to get through. I would highly recommend them.

Awesome!

I have given him the highest rating possible! Doppelt and Forney, and everyone in their office we're always available, always professional, but above all, always helped me make the best decisions possible. I thank them for making this process as painless as possible.

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."
