I endorse this lawyer. Why? First, I have known Dorothy for over 20 years in our bankruptcy practices (but don't know her dog in that pic!). And I would not hesitate to recommend any client to her or when conflicts of interest. I have also called Dorothy sometimes when I have questions on our local judges and trustee's practices through the years as I appreciate her knowledge of the law and discussion of her answers! I find her answers accurate . You are suggested to be in great hands if you seek her advice.
