Outstanding Service!
I retained Damon Forney for my case involving my retirement due to my ex-spouse. Damon provided me with sound advice and counsel. The amount of work, effort and dedication to my position is commendable; I am more than happy with the outcome of my case and Damon Forney helped relieve the stress assoc...

Do not hire!
I found Damon Forney to be a crook. I was fighting a case that was going to trial. I explained to Damon I had not seen my child over 2 years even thought there was court order in place. Damon made feel like he care and would help me fight my case. That was far from the truth. I was told many times t...
Unfortunately, in order for me to respond to this review, I would need Steven to waive confidentiality. However, when I asked Steven to waive his right to confidentiality to allow me to respond fully and truthfully to his allegations, he refused. As a result, I am unable to respond to the allegations in this review. My duty of confidentiality prevents me from responding fully to the negative information posted in this review, or any other review. I take my professional responsibilities as a lawyer seriously and I do my best to serve the needs of all of my clients. Being involved in a family law matter is emotionally taxing and I would not be as successful at it as I am unless I was highly skilled in dealing with the emotional needs of my clients. No level of skill, patience and empathy, however, can prevent an occasionally unsatisfied client and I am happy that I have had very few of them in this difficult and challenging practice over the last 20 years.

Excellent representation
Mr. Forney helped me greatly during the two years that I was dealing with a child custody issue. He represented me to the best of his abilities and kept me informed every step of the way. He realizes that these are people's lives he's dealing with and in my opinion puts in the extra effort that you w...

"Outstanding" Family Law Attorney
Mr. Damon Forney represented my very complicated divorce case exceptionally well. I had one attorney prior to Mr. Forney, but he didn't have the requisite skills and ability to handle my case properly. In every sense of the term, matters requiring legal attention are as unique as we are as individual...

Look Elsewhere
This attorney wanted me to go to trial just so he can set the date out until the trial dates. Meanwhile he did absolutely nothing on the details of the case. Untimely filings, ignored phone calls, blaming the judge and other clients for his poor performance seemed to be the norm. He did me a favor by...

"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."
