Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
I was unable to find an attorney to represent me in seeking compensation for what been done to me and my family. I had given up hope until my sister convinced Wm. Keith Dozier to talk to me. After a long telephone conference Keith said he would represent me. I now had hope! Keith Dozier took my case. The case considered impossible to win by so many attorneys. Keith never gave up even when it seemed impossible to win. After a difficult battle we won! If you want to win call Wm. Keith Dozier!
John Branch
Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
I wholehearted recommend Keith Dozier and Melisa Jorgenson at Wm. Keith Dozier. My children and I were involved in a head on collision with a drunk driver, who did not have a valid drivers license, but was insured. Car insurance adjuster for the driver that hit us didn't take the case very serious, but Keith and Melissa did!! Keith and Melissa are very competent, communicative and transparent. If ever in the event of a situation like mine and my children's I would hands down recommend.

Tyler Turner
Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
I have worked in the legal profession for the last thirty plus years and have worked directly with well over 100 lawyers in that time. In the midst of a very stressful, painful, and frightening situation my wife and I found Mr. Keith Dozier, his associates and staff to be not only warm, friendly, and empathetic, but completely responsive and entirely professional in their work ethic as well. From flying from Portland, OR to Medford, OR to meet with me within just a couple of days of learning of my need to keeping us abreast of all aspects of the case throughout its pendency and following up with us to see how things are going since the case settled, this firm is truly a full service firm and a credit to the legal community. I have and will continue recommending them to anyone in need.
Joeseph Lee
Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
This was the first time I was involved in a medical malpractice lawsuit and found that it was less stressful than I anticipated, thanks to Wm. Keith Dozier, his associate Joshua Callahan and paralegal Kristi Gifford. Throughout the process, we felt listened to, respected, and supported by our attorneys. William Keith Dozier was knowledgable about medical matters and thorough in his investigation. The positive outcome during mediation was a bonus, avoiding a court battle and helping me to feel vindicated after three years of surgeries, physical therapy and rehab. We had heard so much about the difficulty of recovering anything against a doctor, so we were pleasantly surprised by the outcome. I have the highest regard for our attorneys.
Marcia Hunter
Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
Wm. Keith Dozier is one of the best human beings I’ve ever been around. Keith is genuine, kind, understanding, and he truly cares about his clients and builds lifelong relationships with them.
Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
Keith was personal, detailed, supportive, provided positive reinforcement and was truly determined to bring resolution to our litigation. He worked diligently and cooperative with our local attorney. He was soft spoken yet approached the opposition with polite determination. He listened compassionately and responded accordingly. He provided guidance yet was flexible in consideration of our decisions. There would be absolutely no hesitation in using him again or recommending him to others.
Larry Scarborough
Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
He is such a compassionate caring person. It was such a blessing to get him as my lawyer. Always advised me in my best interests.
Kathy Partridge
Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
Keith excels at his professional duty and also is just a good, kind, compassionate person, even in the midst of an emotional and stressful line of work. He was patient, understanding, open to our ideas, readily available, and polite yet strong in communications with the other side. We cross-referenced him and his work through our community who knows many excellent local and several national plaintiffs' lawyers and invariably found we were in excellent hands. We couldn't have done better than Wm. Keith Dozier and are happy with the outcome of our case.
