Experiences From Our Happy Clients
-
“Excellent staff, thorough in preparation and execution of our trust.”- Terri Hermann
-
Lots of lawyers handle trusts, but very few specialize in them--Dorcey Law Firm specializes. I now have a quality trust that fits me and attorneys I can call on as my life evolves. There are so many extras one receives through Dorcey--I highly recommend this firm.- Val H.

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.- Cynthia A.

Josh was recommended to us by a family member. We already had trusts from another state, and he modified them for Florida and added documents to further protect our assets. He and his staff are extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Check out their APP!- Joan W.
