Dorollo in his library
  • "Dorollo Nixon is a very personable lawyer who knew exactly how to win a social security disability case like mine even though he had never had one quite like it before. I was happy to have him on my team and felt grateful and encouraged by him at every step of the journey and process. Thank you!"

    — Sandra C.

  • “After 7 years of getting no where with the VA, I sought out Mr. Nixon's help. Dorollo went above and beyond in helping connect the dots between my medical evidence and deciphering VA logic. He is patient and makes sure you understand the route we were taking. Couldn't have asked for a better a VA Representative.”

  • Attorney Nixon is the definition of dedication, knowledge, and grade A quality of service. Effective communication across the board. His attention to details is finer than a strand of hair. He easily breaks down lawyer terminology to people to easily understand with visualization. There is no lawyer better than him to take on heavy contenders head on such as VA, social security and many other giants in the industry. When they say no he says yes. Thank you Attorney Nixon for representing my case and never giving up the great fight with the VA.

    — Natasha F. W.

  • "Mr. Nixon is an amazing person and attorney. It is very seldom that you get a lawyer that is so compassionate. There are no words that I can use other than heaven sent!!! I highly recommend him and will be forever grateful to God for him…"

    — Andrea B.

  • "Dorollo has helped me get VA Service Connected with multiple disabilities since hiring him in 2018. He has fought non-stop to get the correct decisions even when the VA denied and underrated several of my initial claims. I am now 100% Service Connected and Dorollo has become our family attorney."
