My company was downsizing and as a senior employee at retirement age, I lost my job. Knowing that I could not continue paying the high-cost permanent alimony that the court ordered years ago, I needed help. Remembering that a friend highly recommended Attorney Bill Dorsey, I scheduled a consultation. There was a fee, but it was worth it because “you get what you pay for”. I hired Bill and I am extremely fortunate that I did. He led throughout the entire process, and was assisted by team members Sue and Erica. When you hire The Dorsey Law Firm, they are genuinely interested in your case and are extremely helpful. Requests were promptly managed, and the team ALWAYS kept me informed on the status of current proceedings or actions. Impressive! At Mediation, a remarkably successful resolution was reached. I could not be happier! Bill Dorsey is Outstanding! YOU NEED his subject knowledge and strategic recommendations. If you want the best outcome for any court issue, call Bill Dorsey.

Mr Dorsey and his team helped dig me out of the messy trench my last 2 lawyers had left me in. I can’t begin to explain how bad my first few lawyers had screwed up my case and made me look bad against an abusive drug addict narcissist who could charm the pant suit off Hilary Clinton. Mr Dorsey took on my case and for the first time I actually felt like I could trust my lawyer. Unlike my last attorney who charged me an insane amount of money to screw me over, Mr Dorsey gave me a free consultation and always charged me honestly and fairly. He gave me his personal cell number for emergencies and him and his team were always very responsive to my calls and emails. He fought tooth and nail against one of the most dishonest and corrupt opposing councils I have ever seen! He is well known and honored around Jacksonville and St Augustine by many other esteemed lawyers and judges. If you are in need of a good, honest attorney who will fight for you as if you were his own family, you need to hire Bill Dorsey and his team. He is tough and does not give up. Believe me, I probably had the largest case file he had ever taken on in a civil case and he took the time to go over all of it so he didn’t miss a thing. He is stern but honest so listen to his advice because he knows what he is talking about. I can only say that about 1 other lawyer and I have met way more than I ever wanted to. If you are like me and can’t trust your lawyer and have been paying someone and trusting them with your life but all they seem to do is ignore you and take your money: HIRE BILL DORSEY and he will help you get your life (your child/children) back!

No one really wants to go through any family/custody battles. So when I was faced with this issues I had no choice but to retain an attorney. After numerous hours/days of research I found the Dorsey Law Firm. I came to Mr. Dorsey with a lot of uncertainty with my impending custody case. During my consultation Mr. Dorsey was fully tuned in and very attentive. He answered every question I had very confidently. After I retained Mr. Dorsey, his team and himself started working on the case promptly. They filed an emergency motion and was able to get a hearing for temporary custody within a few weeks. I was granted temporary custody until the outcome of the final hearing. In Preparation for the final hearing Mr. Dorsey and the team were with me every step of the way. They reassured me of the potential outcome, instilled confidence in myself and the direction of the case. During the final hearing Mr. Dorsey was very thorough, firm, and fully prepared. His cross examination skills, rebuttals, presentation, and delivery was superb. As a result, I was grant 75% percent of time sharing. I have never felt better and once again I was stress free. Mr. Dorsey is Very professional and has many years of experience with a great rapport with the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys. He’s very firm, straightforward, and passionate about his work and clients. He is well known and well respected amongst his peers. His resume speaks for itself. A big shout out to The Dorsey team. Susan and Heather. They are very hard working, detail oriented, & very professional. They truly care about people. Stop shopping for attorneys based on price. Mr. Dorsey is the Best Bang for The Buck. He is my guy!!!!!!

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Bill Dorsey was nothing was "sugar coated". During my Divorce, he was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Bill and team Dorsey kept me informed of what my options and risks were. There were no empty promises made, only trustworthy knowledge provided. His guidance never led me astray, and I was extremely happy with the end result. My divorce covered complex matters that Bill and team tackled head on. During such a difficult time in my life, it was a pleasure working with the Dorsey Firm.

We hired Mr. Dorsey to represent us in getting temporay custudy of our grandchild. He and his staff were always available to us and walked us through every phase of the process. He made it easy and less nerve wracking than it would have been otherwise. We would definitely recommend Mr. Dorsey and his wonderful staff to help you with your family law issues.

Mr. Dorsey is a miracle worker! I was involved in a very contentious divorce. I had hired an expensive well known firm in town, I made a very costly mistake in doing that. That firm failed me. I was distraught over my case, I began to search for new representation. I read these online reviews about Mr. Dorsey. Literally every review about him was 5 Star, I know why now. Mr. Dorsey saved me, he took the mess the previous attorney made of my case and turned it around to my favor. I could not believe how Mr. Dorsey took on my ex husband in the deposition and grilled him over his financial misdeeds. Mr. Dorsey was masterful at finding hidden assets. I can’t begin to thank Mr. Dorsey for the outcome of my case. I will now be financially sound because of him. He protected me, kept me informed of my case, returned phone calls, set realistic goals to achieve and was aggressive in representing me.

Mr. Dorsey and Sue were there for me during the worst time of my life. They never stopped fighting for me, always got back to me no matter the day or time, and always had my best interest at heart. I don’t know where I would be without them. They were the best decision for my messy divorce. They care. And you can’t ask for more than that. Thank you Sue, and thank you Bill.

Mr. Dorsey was my attorney in a rather long, drawn out family law case. During such time, he along with his staff exceeded my expectations, kept me informed at all times and fought for his client like a great attorney should. Without a doubt, Mr. Dorsey has me as a lifelong client.

Mr. Dorsey was able to turn a Child paternity/ Time Share case from ugly to resolved peacefully in an astonishing time frame. I can attest that His reputation as an experienced and fierce litigator precedes him, his name alone as your attorney of record commands caution and due respect from the opposing counsel. My case had failed mediation, had a disasterous temporary needs hearing, and was headed towards social investigation and trial when I hired Mr. Dorsey. I walked into his office stressed, fearful and sleep deprived. Bill walked through my case with me; his legal experience and knowledge of the family court system were so evident that i immidiately knew i had found the right person to represent my family. His ability to have a presence that is equally commanding while instilling confidence in me led me to hire him on the spot. I walked out of his office a brand new person. Within 48 hours of his name going on my case we recieved a settlement proposal that was beyond expectation. Never once have I felt Bill was unduly prolonging my case to maximize billable hours or being unreasonable with fees. From the start I felt my best interest was the focus and goal. He was honest, straight forward about his fees, potential cost and process for trial etc. Additionally, words cannot express my gratitude for his paralegal Susan. She communicated all changes and progress nearly in real time. More importantly she was a source of understanding and kindness when it was most needed without ever being asked for such a benefit. Without reservation, I give my highest recommendation to the Dorsey Law Firm. I would not ever hesitate to retain Bill for any of my legal needs
