Divorce is an emotionally trying and challenging legal process. When the divorcing couple has children, the process only becomes even more complex and challenging.

Divorce can be a traumatic experience that affects a family in nearly every way. It has a profound impact on finances and emotions as a couple who committed years or even decades to each other decides to part ways. When children are involved, divorce becomes even more complex and emotionally challenging.

Would not do anything I asked. It seemed like she was working for my ex. Charged me for mystery meetings with an another attorney without my knowledge. I paid for her, not some mystery attorney. Ran out of money and she fired me as a client, refused to give me her case file or give any advice for being Pro se. All she cares about is money.

I was one of those fathers looking for a quality lawyer for custody battle. A lawyer to take the weight off my shoulders. I was asked to put forth my retainer, which I did. Less than a month later I was out of retainer, to sum it up my lawyer had lost all confidence. They used 5000 retainer, another 1500 and counting. They didn’t do anything for me, they wasted my hard earned money over paperwork, my custody case is still at pause. The office of Dorene Kuffer was the worst choice a father can make. The only people that win is the lawyers. I’ve yet to still see my son.

In seeking full custody of my children, I found Dorene's office. She was placed in front of me by God himself. Anyway, Dorene and her team understood exactly what I needed and why due to their own experience. Dorene was very responsive and communicative on every aspect along the way. She is also very professional and knowledgeable. The case ended with exactly what I wanted from the start. I recommend Dorene's office to anyone who needs a custody lawyer.

So far everything has been wonderful and has put a huge weight off of my shoulders. I originally had Caitlin as my lawyer, she went on leave and was put in the hands of Dorene Kuffer. She is AMAZING! I have nothing but good things to say about this law firm. I like the fact that I can call direct and I get prompt responses. I would recommend them to anyone.

I came to Kuffer Law after 2+ years in divorce court, and I cannot say enough good things about this firm. From the intake interview all the way to the resolution of my case, every person I dealt with was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Ms. Kuffer was a rock, even when I was hopeless that my case would ever be resolved. She gave great advice based on a solid knowledge of the law, and I am so very grateful to her. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a divorce/family law attorney, do yourself a favor, and call Kuffer Law.

Doreen and her staff helped my thru some post divorce issues. The entire staff was very helpful and responsive to all my questions. Anytime I had a question, no matter how silly or important, I always got a prompt response, no matter what day or time of the day.
My case lasted for over a year and the entire firm was with me the entire way. Unlike some of the other reviews I have read, they are very helpful and professional. Did everything go my way, of course not, that is usually how court cases work. But she did ensure that all the frivolous claims that my ex made were tossed out. Yes, does it

Niva was kind, professional, and knowledgeable. She was concise and upfront about about the possible legal AND financial outcomes of my case. Niva and her team, Jill, Melissa, Susan, Joyce, and Dorene, were responsive every step of the way. Niva listened to my concerns and had a plan for every outcome depending on the circumstances that could arise. I appreciate that she would not tell me what I wanted to hear, but explained in detail the facts. I was comfortable and confident in her ability. Highly recommend.

I retain the services of the law office. I felt that I was advised properly and had all the help that I needed. I had plenty of advise and help from James and Edward whom both work for the law office. I did not have any issues with any of those two lawyers. I read the other reviews and do not feel that that was the treatment that I received. I am happy with the services and would recommend any of the two lawyers mentioned in this review.

Totally agree with previous reviews. A waste of time and money. Paid way too much for no action. Would have been better off representing myself and remaining quiet while in court. Yes, it is really that bad. It all starts out with a lump sum up front and in no time at all. We need more funds deposited into your retainer/account in order to keep working on your case. $13,000 spent. Long story short, stay far away from these people. I was reeled in believing that these were competent lawyers.

Far too expensive for the effort they put in. Wasted over 20k in a month before I changed attorneys. I would never recommend them. We had Tamara hoffstatter representing us. Let me just say this office is a complete joke. They acted like they knew how to properly represent us as we had a complex case. The majority of our money was spent by the attorney "researching" but yet she claimed in the beginning to know about it? lol. I shouldn't laugh because it was so expensive but it's almost comical to me. We fired them, and there was money left over after the last 10k we deposited
