-5 Stars My friend's husband was extradited to Ripley County jail from out of state, and this firm was appointed to him. When she tried to contact them and failed, she asked that I go in in person. I went in and asked them that they contact her to let her know what was going on with his case because even her husband didn't know what was going on. When I told him who the inmate was, he said, "yea, he doesn't have a chance...". Um WHAT?!?!?! I don't care if you believe that you "client" is guilty or not. When you are desperate enough to sign up to become a court appointed attorney, and refuse to REPRESENT, that constitutes fraud and you should be disbarred from practicing anywhere. You DO get paid thru the court process. Just because you know you won't "win" the case is no reason to give inmates false hopes and put a bad name for any court appointed attorney. "Attornies" like this give the great ones a bad name.

Told me right iff the bat,rudely i may add,Zyou will do time. I told him what happened about illegal search etc he sais he will not even ask for body camera footage. Its like oh you did that so i dont like you so this is all im going to do for you. End of story. Ugh

This attorney has let my daughter's husband sit in Ripley county jail for couple weeks now on a needle carrying charge when he is a diabetic...i have called this attorney over twenty times he does not return calls!!!and any great attorney should be able to get a needle charge dropped when the person is a diabetic! Horrible attorney!! Do not hire this attorney dornbush absolutely horrible '!!! And that's to good of a phrase but u have to be professional on here!!

Dotenbusch was HORRIBLE, he pulled me into office next to court room 5 min before court and gave me a run down of what to say and what not to say and he when into court and did the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he had just told me. He threw me under the bus and caused me to get in way more trouble than I should have. I had never been in trouble before in my entire life.

Very polite and considerate of what I was going through, and did all he could do in my situation and was there on my court date and was professional and supportive I felt.
