Steve Dorvee’s law firm drained our community. Now they’re funding his campaign.
We spent taxpayer dollars that should’ve gone to roads, parks, and public safety—money you earned, not money for endless legal chess.
Roswell’s staff and council burned countless hours in hearings, briefings, and depositions—time we should’ve spent fixing traffic, supporting our first responders, and serving you.
All so Steve and his buddies could build a hideous cell phone tower.
Now they're bankrolling his campaign, where more than 10 attorneys have donated thousands of dollars. Why?
This frivolous lawsuit was a courtroom argument over paperwork timing and technicalities—not a conversation about what’s best for Roswell’s neighborhoods.
Roswellians showed up and opposed the tower. You wrote letters. You spoke with heart about charm, property values, and fit.
Steve Dorvee and his law firm didn’t care.
While the City of Roswell was busy protecting local character, we were also fighting a national playbook with deeper pockets and limitless stamina.
It cost Roswell taxpayers $1 Million.
“...how much we’ve spent on legal fees… …1 million dollars on this case…”

Roswell’s values aren’t for sale. Aesthetics, neighborhood compatibility, and quality of life matter here. We won’t trade our community’s character for convenience or legal intimidation.
