This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great experience

I contacted this law firm through a referral after a wrongful dismissal. Dorothy was personable, caring, thorough, and patient. No matter how many times I phoned her, she always listened, she was never rushed, explained everything very well, and never acted like I was calling her too often. She... is someone that you would love to have as a friend as well as a lawyer! She was thoroughly professional, and got the best deal for me under the circumstances (difficult employer). I would strongly recommend her as a lawyer!

General practice lawyer | Feb 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've worked with Dorothy on anything from employment to civil rights litigation. She's honest, articulate, and focused. She's also among the most down-to-earth attorneys you'll come across. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for an attorney to consider reaching out to her. Unlike most attorneys, Dorothy explains things simply, so you won't sit there scratching your head over legalese. That's invaluable in law. As is Dorothy."

Avvo Rating

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.
