Full Custody

Dorie is a great lawyer; she understands what's important in a custody case and ensures the case is guided toward that end. Dorie and her staff are responsive, knowledgeable and well prepared. They always show compassion and care for their clients. I feel blessed I found Dorie. She helped me get fu...ll custody of my child, who is now safe and thriving. If your child's wellbeing is your priority, don't hesitate to call Dorie.

Full Custody

Dorie Rogers helped me to be awarded full physical custody/shared legal- I have final say on legal matters- from my son’s abusive and narcissistic father. For 13+ years I have dealt with attorneys that just seem to want to spin drama and then hike the bill up over it. Ms. Rogers didn’t buy into the d...rama from dad’s side. She was strategic and used her knowledge about the psychological aspects of our case. She recommended an amazing reunification counselor that contributed to the health and safety of our son. (Father defaulted on the reunification). She has an efficient team with her Parallegal and Office Manager Daenna and team backing her. Because of the issues that the Covid situation has presented, all the legal work had to be conducted through home offices and distance. Her office was very good at keeping me updated and communicating with court and our reunification counselor. They were really together even in the middle of all this community chaos. Ms. Rogers is expensive but she is worth every penny spent. Thanks to her efforts as an attorney my son is now going to be able to thrive, live his best life possible and feel safe every day. I am keeping Dorie as my attorney and if/when our shared legal becomes an issue I will not hesitate to have her represent me in court again to make it a non-issue.
