Family Law

Mr. Dresser helped me in a high conflict family law case. His superb litigation skills and detailed to attention got me a favorable outcome - he located a piece of information that indicated the other party is lying.

4-time winner!

I have used Mr. Dresser for 4 cases (2 personal injury, 1 family law, and 1 legal malpractice suit and several consults since 1994. He has won every case for me that I brought to him. He is extremely thorough, methodical, and kept me informed on everything. He always gave me strength to get throug...h tough depositions, and has helped me better understand the law as we proceeded in each case. He is very bright, if not exceptionally bright, and well educated. He has a kind and calming demeanor that really helped me when we had court. I will always use him for my attorney needs. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I would hire him again

Mr. Dresser handled my case and I would hire him again. He is thorough in depositions and a pit bull in court. He did a fantastic job for me.
