Sara Doty is honest and kind. She has helped my family and I truly appreciate her!

Getting your affairs in order is important & Sara Doty is perfect for all your estate planning needs. Her staff is efficient and quickly resolves matters to the client's satisfaction. I refer all my people in Alabama to her for their estate planning needs.

Possibly the worst and unprofessional attorney I have ever dealt with. All it took was an initial consultation to realize I was stepping into a hot mess of a "professional" to make me realize I could find a better attorney at law simply by throwing a stone across any street. If you go with this firm , simply put , best of luck.

Amazing service! I was always quickly and efficiently advised whenever something would occur that might affect my case. I always felt welcome in the office and confident that something bad wouldn't happen with my case while the Doty team were on top of things. The quality of service and peace of mind greatly exceeded my expectations of lawyers. I will always recommend them.

I am so glad to have a professional like Ms. Sara Doty whom I can rely on when my Child Custody clients need to couple their family law services with estate planning, adoption and other important probate documents. Ms. Doty has a big heart and a razor sharp mind and I am honored to call her a friend and colleague.

This is the worst lawyer experience I have ever had. She has had 4 paralegals in the year I have dealt with her. It took me and my husband 2 years to save the money for my sons adoption and in September 2018 it will be a year and we still do not have his amended birth certificate. She has stolen our money and this adoption we have waited for and have celebrated is false. Not once has she called to update and let us know what’s going on. I have called and called and the newest paralegal is very rude and incompetent. She admitted she hasn’t called us even though the birth state of my son has supposedly had issues with what they are sending them. I don’t understand why they haven’t sent in the correct information from the start and why a year later of this supposed adoption we still really don’t have proof and haven’t even once called to update us. Not ONCE. Last time I called I was reprimanded for not being nice enough to the 4th paralegal they had due to me being so upset it been almost a year. I fully regret giving her our money and will be contacting someone to see about looking into her. If she offered her services for free I would still pass. DONT choose her! And now the receptionist SCREAMED at me after calling again for update!!! Wow!! I found out I can contact the bar association and us attorney general for anyone that has a problem with her!!

I had a very positive experience with this firm. Sara and her staff handled a very complex custody situation for us. She was a fierce advocate for us. We won our case. She has also done our estate planning. If we need an attorney we will definitely hire this firm again!

Compassionate and caring.....these are the words I would use to describe Mrs. Doty and her legal team. From my first consultation to weeks after my case was completed, we were always well informed and thoroughly explained every step of the way. I could not be happier with the services I received from this firm. They were extremely efficient and professional.

Care and love

Great law firm! Sara and her staff made things so easy for me. She made it easy to open my mother's estate. She broke everything down perfectly throughout the whole process. I was very impressed and would definitely recommend to anyone who needs representation.

Mrs. Doty assisted me with my mother's estate. She and her staff were wonderful and very efficient. It was a very difficult time for me and my family but she listened to me and answered all of my questions and knew exactly what to do and got started immediately. Highly recommend Mrs. Doty. I have enjoyed getting to know her and work with her.

We were going through an estate nightmare and needed legal help. I called Atty. Doty's office and was able to schedule a phone consult within 48 hours. Her assistant was helpful in getting an appointment quickly. Atty. Doty listened to my story, asking questions and helping me to think about potential legal solutions. She was professional and helped beyond my expectations. We are grateful!

Hardworking and very knowledgeable. Sara is very personable also which makes working with her a pleasure. Would definitely recommend her for all your legal needs!!

Sara did an excellent job helping my family with our estate planning. Sara was GREAT to work with! She took the time to listen to us and get to know our family. She made a pretty complicated situation into something we could understand, and we feel very comfortable recommending her to our family and friends! Sara’s staff made us feel welcome, and the entire process went very smoothly and much more quickly than I had imagined. Thank you for helping us, Sara!

Sara did my adoption. I enjoyed working with her and her staff so much! Definitely recommend!

I could not be more happier than the help ms. doty gave me.
she went out of her way to help me with my legal problem.
I will use her again in the future and cost were very much inline
with my budget. thank you so much ms doty for your help.
I am not a dentist and haven't got much money but I do have some left :)

Hard working, concerned and compassionate legal team as they take care of their clients needs.

Horrible!!

I retired from dentistry after 45 years when my wife of 40 years, Nancy, was diagnosed with ALS. We moved to Huntsville to be near the ALS Clinic. She died last summer leaving everything to me in her will. We had some property just in her name so her will had to be probated. I knew it was simple since I had done it three times before. Unfortunately it requires a lawyer. I didn’t think it was worth asking for recommendations so I googled and found Ms. Doty.

She and her paralegal Ms. Carter seemed nice and sympathetic so I hired them. Out of courtesy I asked Ms. Doty how she would like me to pay her. I never had any lawyer or accountant imply I should pay before the job was done but she said, “My landlord expects to be paid”. Out of vulnerability I paid her whole bill.

After the required six months I phoned their office to see where we stood. My phone message was not returned nor were my emails responded to. I finally got Ms. Carter on the phone and she said, “We’ve been very busy but I’ll get it done.”

I’ve never had a lawyer or accountant put things off that could be done in the quickest amount of time but I did with them. You expect things to be done on time and not when the time suits them.

Again things drug on. I finally sent a letter to Ms. Doty and some more action took place. I was in touch with the probate judge’s office and found out when the papers closing the estate were finally sent in and when the judge signed them and put them in Ms. Doty’s box. I waited and waited and finally went to Ms. Doty’s office unannounced three weeks later and there was the signed paper closing the estate under a stack of papers on Ms. Carter’s desk!

I’ve never been treated this way by a “professional” and I wrote Ms. Doty asking for half my money back or I’d write a review and a letter to the Alabama State Bar. Ms. Doty wrote back to say, “I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing financial difficulties” and that she would not refund half my money. I did sell some of my wife’s property and it was in an estate checking account as required. I told Ms. Carter that after the initial six months but in no way am I having “financial difficulties”. What if I were? Wouldn’t you want to close the estate for your client as soon as possible to help them?

I have written the Alabama State Bar a four page complaint letter explaining everything with nothing but facts as I told Ms. Doty I would. I included all correspondences I had with her office and my communications with the probate judge’s office.

The Alabama State Bar works like our Board of Dental Examiners of Alabama. I hope they will respond to my complaint about Ms. Doty like our Board would if she had been a dentist.

I will never pay a lawyer’s total fee up front again. Like I said, with my wife just dying, I was vulnerable and wanted to trust someone. I picked the wrong people.

Sara Doty was one of the most professional attorneys I have ever hired. She took the time to listen to me and what I had to say, made me feel comfortable, did her research and presented my case to the court and we won.

I will hire here again if the need for an attorney arises again.

Thanks!

Two stars because this law firm actually answered the phone unlike most of the other places that I have called. However, the paralegal was very unfriendly over the phone, and I felt like I was being 'talked down' to. In my opinion calling someone Ma'am over and over again is very condescending and belittling.

Thank you Sara

Sara is a dedicated attorney that resolved my case quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend her to friends and family. And will be using her again as the need arises.

Very unorganized. After several meetings and having to review the same things it was apparent how disorganized this attorney was. Unfortunately I felt stuck with her. I have some resolution in that I have contacted the Alabama Attorney's office for some direction. It is apparent she wants your money only without helping to resolve your case.

Sara Doty is not only an excellent lawyer, she is a lawyer that you can trust. I highly recommend her to all my family and friends. Her professionalism, knowledge and kindness I will always remember. ( Her office manger was very helpful and kind). Thank you both so much may God bless you both.

Sara is amazing!!!! So grateful to her!!

Very professional, and knowledgeable attorney!

Amazing lawyer. She goes above and beyond to fight for you in court.
