Excellent experience working with Doris

I worked with Doris for myself and my husband immigration case. Our immigration case was so complicated and it was on hold for more than 9 years. I spoke to several top lawyers around Seattle and California to see if they can do anything to help me resolve my case, none of them were willing to take ...my case, they just told me “it’s too complicated, don’t waste your money and time, just wait and see". I went to see Doris to prepare a will for my family and we just started talking about work and my status and I told her about my immigration situation and she just said “I can help you”. We started working with two years ago and now our immigration satiation is completely resolved. She was able to resolve the most complicated and difficult case. Her positive attitude, her honesty, and dedication is priceless. She was my lawyer who went above and beyond to get my case resolved, but now am proud to call her a dear friend. She is the best lawyer any one could have!

Divorce done right

Doris helped me bring an end to my not-so-happy first marriage, with the divorce being final on October 5, 2015. I had naively entered into this first marriage 11 1/2 years earlier, without a pre-nuptial agreement. I felt that my ex-wife, who was now living on East coast, stayed in the marriage becau...se she enjoyed the security that marriage provides, without really having to participate in a marriage. Doris was *very* attentive to my case, from start to finish, always returning my phone calls and emails promptly. This even included answering a big concern that developed last year, within a few days of her starting a vacation to Hong Kong! This case was fairly difficult. My now ex-wife is not the easiest person to work with, as evidenced by her first attorney who ended up resigning from this case. But prior to that happening, there were many times that Doris provided excellent legal research to counter various claims made by this attorney, in his attempts to claim an unreasonable amount of my life savings. As an example, I had purchased my home 17 years before I was married, and had it nearly paid off in 2003, at the time I got married. Yet, opposing council saw no problem trying to grab half of my property! His aggressive style caused a considerable amount of stress, but the excellent research Doris provided successfully fended off this shark. Doris had to bring a new opposing council up to speed on this case, after working with the first attorney for about 9 months. The case was complicated along the way, when my ex, who is a kidney transplant patient but is also doing quite well, started hinting about playing the disability card. This, in spite of the fact that she was doing well enough to purchase a home by herself in Maryland. I also had Doris prepare my first will during this time. I will recommend Doris to anyone without hesitation. And, I'll be sure to visit her again for a "co-habitation" agreement if/when the time comes! Thank You, Doris, for your tireless effort on my behalf! Tom Wickerath Bellevue, WA.

Professional service with personal care

My family has worked with Doris on two separate occasions, first for the creation of our Wills, then for some help with a complicated real estate transaction. In both instances, Doris proved to be a first-class professional. She is responsive, attentive, and thorough. Most importantly, we have... been very impressed with the personal care that she has provided throughout both efforts. In particular, our real estate transaction went sideways due to a dispute between the builder and a neighbor. She genuinely cared about our family's situation and made every effort to be available in a highly charged and fast moving environment.

Great lawyer

Doris worked for me on real estate issues and creating will and has been great. Before I found her, I called a couple of lawyers in the same area, and none of them seems to care about small case I had. She was very helpful from the beginning and also handled the case very well to solve the issue. ...I will recommend her to all of my friends and co-workers.

In Doris we trust

We got to know Doris through a real estate case. We purchased a shortsale new house this year and later got two lien claims on our property and panicked as one of them was going to start a foreclosure on our property because of it. Doris gave us the biggest help we could possibly hope for in this cas...e. It took her over a month in talking with the insurance company, the builder, and the lien holders. We got prompt update with great advices from her all the time. In this process, Doris showed her excellent knowledge about real estate, great patience, and, most of all, the kindest heart that cared about us. With her tireless work, we finally settled with both lien holders with the best outcome we would hope for. We gave her tripple A+ in this work. Since she is such an excellent attorney in this case, we then work with Doris on our will. It was again a really pleasant experience for us. Since this was the first time for us to have a will, we had lots of questions and confusions. Doris showed her great knowledge and patience once again and answered all of our questions. Now with our will finally signed, we feel both relieved and lucky to get to know Doris through these two occasions. We would highly recommend Doris to anyone who needs help in real estate or personal will.
