Experiences From Our Happy Clients

    “To this day, I am so thankful we are working with this firm and would highly recommend them.”
    We had been looking for a law firm to help us with asset protection and revamping some trusts. We had met and worked with several lawyers but in the end were very disappointed. We happened to accept an invitation to meet Josh Dorsey and Michael Scott at a presentation of the company. We were extremely impressed and have been more than pleased ever since. They listened to our concerns and needs and devised a plan to meet all of them and explain additional documents that were extremely important. To this day, I am so thankful we are working with this firm and would highly recommend them.

    “We love Joshua Dorcey.”
    We love Joshua Dorcey. Whenever I have a question I can reach someone, in the office, who can help. I have always had a pleasant person helping me. There are special activities which keep us informed of the latest in tax laws and activities to have fun... we wouldn't go anywhere else.
