"Dorothy was personable, caring, thorough, and patient. No matter how many times I phoned her, she always listened, she was never rushed, explained everything very well, and never acted like I was calling her too often. She is someone that you would love to have as a friend as well as a lawyer! She was thoroughly professional, and got the best deal for me under the circumstances (difficult employer). I would strongly recommend her as a lawyer!"
