Detailed Compassionate and Smart

I am an attorney who retained the services of Attorney Dowling on behalf of my client in a very complicated, highly emotionally charged probate litigation case. Within a very short period of time Attorney Dowling mastered the facts and the law. Her help was invaluable. She is smart, detail oriented ...and effective as an advocate.

Lawyer

Nancy of Solutions Law Group recently handled my closing on my home which wouldn't have gone through without her help especially the day before closing. Her law firm is currently engaged in completing my estate work. I could not be more pleased and satisfied with the efficiency and performance of S...olutions Law Group.

Attorney Dowling turned things around!

Attorney Dowling turned things around for me. I have a very complicated case, made much worse by the fact that it was not handled properly by my previous attorneys. Attorney Dowling worked very hard, stopping the loss from the moment that she took over my case. I would strongly recommend her to anyon...e who has cases related to custody and cross-states jurisdiction. During the week, we exchanged many emails and had discussions over the phone to clarify my questions and doubts. She understood my case in its complexity and spent hours on documents that I sent her, in order to figure out the right angle to handle the case from. Unlike my previous attorneys, who did not want to spend the time to explain the legal theories and related risks in detail, attorney Dowling would explain the situation patiently and clearly. From our communication, I feel that attorney Dowling has a very good grasp of legal theories and has a good understanding of different situations and difficult matters. She is the kind of attorney who would only go to the court with a full understanding of the case and thorough preparation. I was happy to learn of the hearing result. Thank you so much for your hard work, Attorney Dowling!

Who would have thought a lawyer would have such a big heart

Attorney Dowling and my family were brought together under difficult circumstances that was tearing apart our family. She was able to listen, comprehend and effectively guide us through a system that we were obviously unfamiliar with. Not only was she a consummate professional, she was kind and carin...g and lent a shoulder to cry on when it was needed. She listened not only as a lawyer but as a mother and was a shining star in what can be a system of finger pointing and preconceived notions.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Attorney Dowling is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of service that she provides. She has prepared numerous estate plans and received rave reviews from clients. The level of care and attention to detail she brings is apparent in every aspect of her practice. She views clients as partners rather than consumers, which coupled with a staunch advocacy approach, ensures that she gets the best results possible. I am lucky to have the opportunity to work closely with such an esteemed attorney and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance."
