ABOUT DOCKSTADER ORLICZKY
Janet Dockstader and Nadine Orliczky were introduced to each other in 2013 by the late Brian Brandmeyer, a local family law powerhouse who practiced for more than four decades. In addition to being a highly respected litigator, Brian was known for having an instinct for spotting talent and the ability to form winning collaborations. Janet and Brian had already been partners since 2008 and as Janet’s part of the practice continued growing there was a need to add another associate to the team of attorneys they already had. Brian learned of Nadine and a perfect legal match was made. For the next five years, Nadine collaborated with Janet on cases as part of Brandmeyer Gilligan & Dockstader LLP, where clients described them as “honorable,” “effective,” and “excellent strategizers.”
Each of them is a Certified Family Law Specialist, an accomplishment which requires passing a rigorous family law exam, hours of courtroom experience, and the approval of peers who are also subject matter experts. Both Janet and Nadine are also skilled litigators who have honed their trial skills at distinguished training institutions such as the Houston Family Law Trial Institute and the Roger Dodd Trial Clinic. Both have extensive experience handling complex financial matters and complicated custody cases.
In 2018, Janet and Nadine realized a boutique law setting would better meet their clients’ needs and opened the doors of Dockstader Orliczky on January 1, 2019. It is their combined goal to provide individualized service to each client in a a warm and caring environment while the client transitions through one of the most stressful times of their lives. Most importantly, Dockstader Orliczky is committed to working efficiently, strategizing each client’s objectives, and bringing cases to a timely conclusion while being mindful of the value of our clients’ time and money.
