Experiences From Our Happy Clients

    “Dorcey Law Firm is amazing!!!”
    I will say Dorcey Law Firm is amazing!!! I called on a Monday it was around 4:30pm so of course I didn't get a call back that day. However, first thing the next day I got a call from Carrie (So wonderful and so helpful) she put me on the calendar with Erica Johnson the following week. I have to give a RAVE review about Erica (She is fabulous, knowledgeable, understanding and communicates so well even if you ask the question more than once). When I first met Erica she was so professional and knew what she was talking about. I felt comfortable in her answers to my questions and was grateful I was scheduled with her. When you think attorneys you think all they will want is your money, this is not the case here at Dorcey Law. The price for the items I was asking for was reasonable and fair. The professionalism of the staff and Erica was by far some of the best service from a law firm I have every gotten. IM GLAD TO SAY I AM MORE THAN HAPPY WITH ERICA, THE GIRLS AT THE FRONT, CARRIE & JUST THE EXPERIENCE OVERALL!!!!! Huge THANK YOU!!!! If you ever need an estate lawyer call Dorcey Law!!!!
