Exceptionally Brilliant.

Marc Dobin represented me a few years back. I can't say enough good things about this attorney. I spent my career in sales calling on clerks to vice presidents, and have served administratively to top level executives in my younger years. I've met more people than most, and of all the people I've m...et, Marc stands out to me as one of the sharpest. I was more than satisfied with his handling of my case. He's also a personable and likable attorney and can pick up on your emotions and try to give you some comic relief when you need it. But he can also be quite indefatigable and persistent in his line of questioning in order to get to the truth. I'll never forget a certain deposition where Marc's line of questions backed the guy so far into the corner that he feigned a certain sickness to get out of answering. I don't think anybody in that room had ever seen anything quite like that before. Well, there's more to that story, but let's just say that I thought the guy had faked it. Marc handled my case during a very trying time in my life. I've often thought kindly about Marc Dobin over the last several years. I've since moved to another part of Florida and recently contacted an attorney over a boundary dispute. I have to say it was not a pretty contrast as I compared him with Marc. This made me realize just how fortunate I had been to have had Marc Dobin represent me during the time that he did, and that great attorneys like Marc don't just don't grow on trees.

A talented problem solver

I hired Marc for for a real estate matter that I had in Southern Florida. Marc immediately identified the issues and offered practical solutions to quickly reach a resolution that was beneficial to our business. He is one of the most technologically saavy lawyers that I have worked with, which ena...bles him to be extremely responsive and efficient. He is a gifted advocate and problem solver as well as a great facilitator of solutions to problems rather than a hindrance. I was very pleased with his representation.

A great lawyer who truly works with his clients

I had the opportunity to utilize Mr. Dobin's services for a discrimination case against my previous employer. It truly baffled me how many firms turned my case down based on the dollar amount they saw in the claim. The other thing I realized was that the majority of the big law firms work for the def...endants/employers because they can charge them a set fee. Luckily, Marc Dobin overlooked these things & took my case. His form was very professional & answered any questions I had. He was truly a professional & I refer him whenever I can.
