Unfortunately, I had to give one star because zero was not an option. Very dismissive and condescending. I spent about 10k and haven't gotten anywhere, only to be told to find another lawyer closer to the court house, even though I live in this county. I'm literally exactly where I started just short a bunch of money. Went in to my last appointment set up only to be questioned at the door and looked at like I showed up unexpectedly. Overall, very bad experience. Didnt feel like I had any support or answers and was only reached out to when money was in play. Other then that, I had the worst experience

I was recommended to the Law office of Chow & Losinski and will definitely recommend them to others. Dorothy is quick, smart and vigilant. She kept me informed and walked me through my divorce. There are many who will only rob you of your time and money but Dorothy was always honest and open and always let me know what was good for me in my case, not only was she professional but she was also emotionally connected. I'm very very thankful to have found Dorothy.

I can, without hesitation, recommend Dorothy Chow-Losinski as an outstanding Family Law practitioner. She will represent you zealously, and always ethically. She will also tell you the truth about the process, even if it can, in my case, at first feel a little uncomfortable. Dorothy has many years of experience in the courtroom and it shows, including with custody matters. I myself received legal costs to my benefit on more than one occasion. Finding yourself in need of a strong advocate when facing divorce can be very painful -- you will find smart, kind and thorough representation with the Law

Please do not use these attorneys. I'm a very faithful and fair man . I'm not attacking them but just wanted to past out my experience. First of all Dorothy Chow Losinski is not my attorney, she is my wife attorney. I didn't have any money to fight back with the divorce , also confused so I took a defaulted. Dorothy, she noticed that so she took an advantage of me by making signed everything that I shouldn't have signed. She didn't even give me any copies of what I-signed four months later I realized and wondering what did I signed. I had to call her three times asking

This is a power couple who would assist you from the very start up to winning your case. My husband and I are very thankful to them most especially to our very smart lawyer Atty. Dorothy, who helped us win our case of child custody. Our case was a very complicated one but Atty. Dorothy nailed everything in court. She even helped us not only with the case itself but also with the other factors related to the case that me and my husband should be handling. She is very knowledgeable and direct, a badass woman you wouldn't wanna mess with coz she really knows how to bring your enemy down and make

If you are looking for a great family attorney, look no further than The Law Offices of Chow and Losinski. Matt and Dorothy are as good as it gets. They are a husband and wife team who will work hard to represent you. They are a very hands on law firm which is difficult to find these days. I am so fortunate that I was referred to Matt and Dorothy.
