A much younger woman of no relation by blood or law who lived with my grandfather because he took pity on her when she lost her family house next door and her husband went to jail, took my grandfather AFTER being diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia to Dornay to change his trust to her name. I would think a lawyer with so much experience would have questioned this scenario. Mr. Dornay's claim is that my grandfather seemed "fine" to him when they came in. He did little to set it right. And worried more for the sake of the woman who hired him, then the code of ethics and morals and unfortunately my grandfather was a victim.

Instead, I experienced one of the most uncomfortable professional consultations I have ever had. She entered the room without greeting or acknowledging me and immediately came across as cold and dismissive. I had prepared notes and questions, but she repeatedly interrupted and focused on a single comment instead of listening to the full context of why I was there. The overall tone felt condescending and completely lacking in empathy. Within about 15 minutes I felt so unheard and uncomfortable that I ended the consultation early. Family law matters are already stressful and vulnerable. Clients deserve patience, professionalism, and basic respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

My family's interactions with this attorney during matters related to my 92-year-old grandmother's…read moresurvivor trust were a very difficult experience for us. My grandmother had created a trust that allowed her to manage and use her assets during her lifetime in accordance with her own wishes. After she passed away, discussions arose during the administration process suggesting that some of her financial decisions may have been improper or unnecessary. From our family's perspective, we were not presented with documentation or clear supporting information that explained or substantiated those concerns. Hearing those types of statements about my grandmother after her passing was deeply upsetting to our family. She lived a long and honorable life, and because she is no longer here to explain the reasoning behind her financial decisions, it was painful to hear her judgment questioned in that context. The administration process also became longer and more complicated than our family had expected. As time went on, the prolonged nature of the matter created additional stress and increased expenses for our family during what was already an emotionally difficult period following the loss of our grandmother. Estate administration is often sensitive and emotionally charged for families. In my opinion, situations involving elderly individuals and their financial decisions should be handled with particular care and professionalism, especially when the individual is no longer able to speak for themselves. Clear documentation and respectful communication can make a significant difference for families navigating the loss of a loved one. I understand that attorneys must advocate for their clients and represent their client's interests. However, from our family's perspective, the overall experience made an already difficult time more challenging than it needed to be. This review reflects my family's personal experience during the administration of my grandmother's trust and the impact the process had on us.

The paper work I got was unusuable (draft form). In order to move forward it would have cost me more money. Realized I should go elsewhere.

Upon a zoom court hearing unbeknownst to me he already made arrangements with the defensive lawyer to dismiss when I tried to interject that they were stipulations he told me no and I wasn't allowed to speak. Keep in mind during this time he did absolutely nothing besides have a assistant file some paperwork for a court date. On my own I started investigating I retained a copy of the trust which I believe needs to be scrutinized further. So because of that and his very unprofessionalism I fired him. Upon trying to chain some kind of balance out of the retainer I was supplied with the bill they came to $10,000! He kindly said that he was going to dismiss the 3,800 balance out of his kind heart. The fact is he charged me $4,500 to send me copies of the trust that I had personally take you to his office on Palm avenue and had his secretary runoff copies for him.. with that said I have left various emails and messages with no return of course so today I'm going to go to his office and try to confront somebody about his antics and tactics and the way he treats people like s***. So as of now I'm unable to retain a lawyer or look into having a forensic examiner inspect some of signatures. To be honest this ordeal is over my father's trust and I'm on the verge of losing out on three quarters of a million dollars my father left me because of his inabilities and or personal problems he has! this is unacceptable and he has left me desolate. This is how he thanks a disabled veteran. I'll be contacting the bar and see what else I could possibly do. This man has cost me everything including being able to put my father at ease.
