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!

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.

Doris helped us through a land use complaint that was brought against us from a neighbor making a bunch of claims that we violated a "private agreement" that was made over a decade ago between the land developers and a private party. She spent a tremendous amount of time researching and investigat...e said private agreement. She was easy to work with, very responsive, and kept us informed through-out the process. She had a well articulated legal response to the opposing lawyer's claim, and the issue has been resolved in our favor. Thank you Doris for all your help and persistence!
