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.

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...ould expect from someone that is representing you in a court of law.

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."

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.
