Mr. Dorst assisted me with a lease I was forced to break due to my concern for my safety as many of my belongings were beig broken and stolen and I felt very threatened. The leases was with student housing near UCF. He wrote a detailed letter of my concerns and reasons for breaking the lease along with an explanation of their lack of enforcing rules necessary to maintain my feeling of safety and security at the complex. They still sent me a letter for the debt but that debt has not reported negatively on my credit report which I am very thankful for. Mr. Dorst was recommended to me by a friend and was very attentive and compassionate. He didn't care that this was not a big money making case and took care of my issues, making me feel like a very appreciated client.

My daughter was arrested one evening at a night club. She is all of 4' 11" and was brought up on charges of battery of a police officer with no resistence(?????) how can that be. Anyway, this would have stayed on her record. He took care of this immediately and all charges were droped

I went to attorney Gary Dorst about 6 months back. Unfortunently earlier this year I had to file an injunction against someone. I have never had to do this type of thing before, I was very confused with how the process worked and Mr. dorst was able to walk me through the entire process with great ease. He answered every questions that i had in depth which was very informative. Now I have an injunction and I feel that I am much safer. I would definitely recommend Mr. Dorst.

I hired Gary Dorst to get custody of my son. I was granted the custody of my son and for the former wife she was to start paying child support and work out visitation and all other custody matters.Attorney Dorst never filed this order untill years of me investigating and calling State attorney and years of going back and forth to court. After over ten years of trying to find out why I never got my rights as a Father back,I found out that Dorst never filed the court order till sept of 2008 ten years after the order was given to the attorney and I brought this to his atention he filed the order but it was to late for me to ever have any of my rights as a Father.
