Law Office of Dorene A. Kuffer

This was a complete disaster that cost me $12k and I was blamed for it by this Dorene. Even the judge said this was an excessive amount of money for this case. Dorene took over my case after one of her attorneys Brooke Acosta left me and my case out of no where. Brooke was absolutely horrible, unethical, unprepared, did not inform me, I had to try to be the expert and of course I wasn't that's why I hired them and it cost me me and my kids our future in a time where it mattered in my life. I was initially told the case would cost about $4k (no court), but I sure didn't read my final paperwork before signing (deceiving for sure). 'I' was getting charged $500 everytime my ex would not respond to emails, so they would keep sending them. Maybe if Dorene had taken the case from the beginning things would have gone smoothly but from her hearing hear say (not knowing truth) she was very judgmental toward me from the beginning and basically blamed me for the outcomes of my case. I hired this law firm because they were the experts not me and majority of time I had to try hard to be the expert because if I didn't I got screwed...in which I did. They have enough experience to know what your case involves, what to ask for, advise you what to ask for, but nope you're on your own on that one. I shouldn't have to think of everything under the sun regarding my case, but that's how you have to be with this firm. Honestly I think you only matter to them if your income is over $200k a year other than that they'll easily just take your money and not fight for you the way they should...or the way it costs. They kept saying my ex was causing me to spend more money or because I didn't communicate well the 1st month the WHOLE outcome was my fault. All this office cares about is the $250/$350 an hour and in my case didn't care about me as a client period. Even up to the end once they got their last payment they did not respond to any more of my emails. They cost me another $6k because their office did not catch a date that my ex husband's lawyer put in the final divorce decree and therefore wanted me to pay probably another $5k to fix it when I already paid them to catch things like that. All they care about is you feeding them money $350/hr for an email....on a small note they took a few payments from me instead of needing all the $12k up front ...they should've fixed THEIR mistake in my divorce decree for free!!

My case was a jurisdiction issue and was handled swiftly and efficiently. They made my case a priority and we had a positive outcome. I can’t say enough good things about Dorene and Ed. Worth the money!

This 5 Star review is for Edward Lovato of Kuffer Law. I was referred to Edward Lovato by another associate of mine and I can tell you it was an absolute blessing. Edward represented me in a professional, knowledgeable, and timely manner in all aspects of my case. The bottomline is, my case was dismissed because of his efforts. I would highly recommend Edward Lovato to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Pam Sullivan at Kuffer Law practice did a wonderful job and we are really relieved and happy with the outcome. She made the whole process bearable for us, and we were so grateful for her expertise in the courtroom!

She is a thief and will not represent you in court like she is suppose to she does not bring up the IMPORTANT facts...she is extremely unethical and works with cyfd to steal your money...she stole almost close to 40000 just for a restraining order...she is a waste of money and time ...do not use Dorene she is awful...the worst in ABQ which others have said as well
