Used twice and have already recommended to a friend

Dorothea represented me in both a divorce w/no children and then again for a Prenuptial Agreement . The divorce was stressful enough and Dorothea handled all the paperwork necessary and it went smooth and simple. Later I contracted her again for a Pre-Nup. I was very impressed with her 16 page boi...ler plate write up that we tweaked to fit our situation. A friend of mine has been dealing with his divorce for a while and I have already recommended Dorothea to him

Highly recommend, especially for military divorce

After first consulting with Dorothea for advice, I hired her to represent me in my divorce case as a military spouse, and I was very pleased with the way she handled my case and with the outcome she achieved for me. Dorothea is very personable, down to earth and easy to talk to. I never had a probl...em contacting her, whether by phone or email. She worked very hard on my case and kept me informed of everything that was happening along the way. My case involved complicated military issues, involving my ex's several different retirements from active duty, the national guard and reserves and also VA disability matters. Dorothea was very familiar with most of the retirements, and for the couple complicated issues that came up in my particular case, where she wasn't as familiar, she consulted with a military retirement expert in Georgia, and through a conference call with this gentleman, we both learned a lot about the details of my ex's military retirement accounts and how the military handles them in divorce cases. I can't imagine a military matter that Dorothea wouldn't be able to handle, especially after handling my case. Dorothea spent many hours and late nights working on my case before trial, and I felt that her billings were very fair. I never felt over-charged; in fact, she gave me a credit for time she spent consulting with the military expert, because she felt that some of the time spent went toward educating herself for my case and for future cases where these issues might come up. I can only speak of my own experience going through a military divorce, but I was very pleased with Dorothea's handling of my case. I would definitely recommend her to others, and I will call her again for any legal matters that may come up in the future.

Professional Legal Services

I am a man who just went through a divorce as the defendant in the case. When my wife sought legal and physical custody of our three children, I needed a professional divorce exert with experience. I needed an attorney I could trust to represent me and protect my rights as father for my children. I w...as fortunate to hire Dorothea Aguero to help me win shared custody so that my children would have a dad in the town where we live. Dorothea worked diligently on my case. She told me what to expect and prepared legal documents for the judge to sign. Her knowledge of the law, divorce procedures, and advice to me was crucial. I worked hard to provide her with the information that she needed to work into evidence for our case and legal documents that she prepared. Dorothea achieve a win for me, actually for my children. The shared custody result was achieved because Dorothea walked into court prepared with a notebook full of exhibits (documents as evidence) and a list of questions to ask me and my ex. She respected me as a client. She and I communicated well before and during the two-day court trial. She listened to my points of view, my ideas for evidence, and incorporated my documents into her presentation during trial. Dorothea told me that half of her clients are men. I am one of those men who can say that she helped me achieve a custody victory and a low monthly child support payment. Now my kids get to have a full-time dad in my town. My ex-wife did not get to take my kids away to another state.
