"I was going through a divorce and trying to navigate it myself and feeling completely overwhelmed. Thankfully I found attorney Damon Forney and his senior paralegal Dianne Jones. Amazing people! From the beginning they laid out a clear plan and broke it down into easy and manageable steps, taking time to answer all my questions. Their years of experience is obvious, but what most impressed me is that they are both genuinely good people that care about their clients. Dianne will keep you on track and you’ll love working with her and she has a great sense of humor. Highly recommend!"

"Interested In: Mr. Doppelt has represented me throughout a lengthy custody negotiation involving multiple move-aways which are particularly complex. Roy was extremely thorough in helping me to understand the process and set my expectations. He is extremely accessible and responds quickly to requests for counsel. His representation of me in court was outstanding. He negotiated a very contentious situation with the other party in my case and worked quickly under extremely tight timeframes."
