Law Office Of Lita Pettus-Dotson

When I was going through my divorce we decided to go through mediation. After the 2^nd or third mediation meeting my ex told the mediator that she hired an attorney. The mediator suggested that I should hired an attorney as well.
Lita came highly recommended! I was not disappointed. She gave me great advice but not only that she kept me calm when I started to get mad at my ex.
I highly recommend her if you are going through a divorce.

Lita was a huge help and a blessing in my long term marriage spousal support case. She came highly recommended and the best things I liked about her was her knowledge of the law and how easy she is to talk to. She was always there when I had a question and had my back during the 6 month plus court case. She was very honest in telling me how things may go in my case and how to look at things in the long run. I’m happy with the results in my case all the hard work that Lita did to get the outcome I ultimately wanted. I would highly recommend her to anyone because it’s worth making the call to her.

Not here to write a book but with a 2 star review I’ll try my best to briefly explain.
Here we are, a month after the court and looking for another family law lawyer for my fiancé. Lita seemed very nice, fiancé loved talking with her and trusted everything she had to say and recommended. Yes, she knows her stuff and did all the footwork… So tell me how the heck my fiancé who shares ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ custody and makes 1,900 a month has to PAY HALF OF HER EX’S DAYCARE ON HIS DAYS! Oh, and he makes 6,200 $ a month!!! It blows my mind! Yes, maybe my fiancé should have spoke up during court, but that’s what we paid Lita close to 10k for.

Super impressed with Ms. Pettus-​Dotson. I called her after reading information on her website and was very happy I did. I called her about a situation in another jurisdiction that appears to be getting very contentious and out of hand. As others have written she was very focused and listened well to what I was telling her. She quickly understood the circumstances and provided helpful information for me to move forward. She was able to provide options. I only spoke with her for ~20 minutes and ended the conversation more knowledgeable about the legal process I was concerned about. If anyone should ever ask me for a referral for a family law attorney, Ms. Pettus-​Dotson will be the first name out of my mouth. I wish she was in the jurisdiction in which I need help. If you are looking and are in need, this is an excellent choice.

Yesterday, I received a call back from Ms. Pettus-​Dotson and I was beyond impressed with her responsiveness and frankness about a family law situation.
She did not sugar coat it. She provided the facts and also included helpful information about what she has observed based on her years of experience in family law. She was very genuine and sincere. She did not charge for the phone consult, which I thought was very kind (and consistent with the other reviews here).
She answered all of basic questions and provided helpful input. Honestly, it was like talking to a wise aunty who happens to be an attorney… like someone who will look out for you and will also tell you the truth, even if it is hard to swallow. At the end of our conversation, I told her that I need a family attorney or if any friends or colleagues do, she would be my first choice and top recommendation. She does not know I am leaving a Unilocal review, but I wanted folks to know she seems to be an excellent choice!

I called this lady in somewhat of a «impromptu» hoping a situation don’t get out of hand. She gave me a 15 minute phone consultation at no charge. I like to be hands on and I am a visual learning meeting her in person was an option as well. However, over the phone she had good energy, amazing focus. and answered my questions all while helping me sort out in my head what I wanted to convey in those 15 minutes. Ya know when your in a crisis or feel you could be, stating your case in 15 minutes is like trying to come up with the pertinent things to say while the Jeopardy music is playing in the background.
From a professional stand point I think Mrs. Lita (that’s what she allowed me to call her I was making a bluff of he hyphenated last name) is competent, on top of her game, makes good use of her’your time and very knowledgeable.
On a personal professional point of view (if their is such a thing I don’t know her personally found her on Unilocal) I feel she is to the point, no nonsense, helps you sort of the BS real quick (which I happened to get easily caught up in) and she was considerate.
I had a phone appointment with her at 1:00 pm. I didn’t know if I was to call her or she would phone me? DUUUHHHH I am the one in need of the counsel. SMH However, by 1:19 pm I realized I better call her. She and I went right into conversation with me, she didn’t ridicule me for being late and talked to me for 10 minutes as she had another client to speak with BUT CALLED ME BACK AFTER AND GAVE ME MY FIVE MINUTES!
Hey people she got my vote! Pretty darn good for a attorney of law. Especially thees days.!!
Plan on using her in the future. Hopefully i WON’T NEED HER ANYTIME SOON for my current simmering situation.
Please excuse all of my typos. grammatical errors and so and and so forth. I got a lot going on and well if you can read you can get the jist of it.
I HIGHLY recommend Mrs. Lita Pettus-​Dotson

Lisa was always available to the smallest of questions. We had a very complicated child support, child custody situation — and dealing with an ex-​spouse that was very unreasonable. She was able to guide, support & keep to facts & saved us a lot of time, money & frustrated tears in dealing with it all. Would highly recommend her guidance for any situation.

Lita exhibits professionalism, knowledge, focus and empathy. She took my case that was floundering and turned it around. We are in process of a divorce and she is getting the type of visibility and engergy the case deserves.

Lita is an amazing person, she helped me out in my child custody case and was very helpful, she was able to help me understand everything and took a lot of the stress on for me as I felt extremely anxious about this whole situation.
Not only did she do all the foot work for me but I felt like she taught me a new line of thinking, it’s so easy to say «ugh! this guy is a dead beat and I don’t want him to see my child!» but in reality you can’t do that… and she helped me understand that and also showed me how to express myself with out rubbing the judge the wrong way! super important as the judge is only human… she is also kind and a good person, she really cares.
Another thing I loved about her is I always got a prompt response when I needed her or had questions or concerns, I would get an answer the same day if not just a few minutes later.
I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again, however I hope I don’t ever need to!!! :)

Highly recommended. She helped me out a lot.
