James Neil Doherty Jr.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support and guidance James Doherty provided after my separation and my rights to my children. His communication was excellent — he kept me informed at every step and always made sure I understood what was happening. His deep knowledge of family law was clear from the s...tart, and he took the time to give thorough, detailed explanations that helped me feel confident throughout the process. As a father navigating a stressful and emotional situation, having an attorney like James made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and genuinely supportive lawyer.

I have been a client of Jim Doherty for a number of years, and I am very thankful for his assistance on my particularly challenging family law case. Jim is a very professional attorney with very high integrity and high standards, and he is very responsive and communicative. He has a vast understand...ing of the relevant law and the court system, and his arguments are very well formed and persuasive, built on in depth research of case law and his own wisdom. He is very level headed and focused on getting the job done well, and he has kept me focused on what’s important. Jim has accommodated me well around my personal situation, and I have had only positive experiences with him. I enjoy working with him and will continue to work with him as needed. I would highly recommend Jim to others.

My review might sound cliche but I've hired Attorney Doherty over the past 10 years and his experience with family law is excellent and beyond compare. He knows the law and it's nuances, relevant case law, and is very knowledgeable rules, regulations, court personnel and judges. On every occasion, ...he has listened to my wishes and goals -- and paid attention to expeditiously getting results while navigating the court maze. Some times I wonder how I might have fared with a different lawyer, or shudder thinking about going without one. Jim's calm and cool temperament even through some of the most nastiest situations during my divorce was phenomenal. In a way, he has helped me learn patience, skill and strategy -- which is critical to anyone litigating a contested action in court, outside of the normal "cookie cutter" case. Jim also holds himself to the highest standards and stayed ethically strong, taking the high road on all occasions. On specific subjects in which Jim did not have experience in, he was direct and open with me -- but was also able to refer me to another colleague with solid experience in those specific areas. He knows the people and the right modes of action. As the saying goes, a good lawyer is hard to find. But find a great lawyer is even harder. I'm taking the time to write a longer review here, in the hopes that your search would be simpler and quicker. In my humble opinion, Attorney Doherty is one the best in the area, and I sincerely think you'd be glad that you hired him to represent you and your needs.

Jim was a pleasure to work with. He took care of everything I needed. I thought my ex was going to pull a fast one with issues he brought up in court but Jim had obtained all the necessary documentation to prove my ex was not being truthful. Jim also kept me in the loop with what was necessary and... what was not so that I would not incur unnecessary expenses. It was nice during a stressful time to be able to trust and depend on someone to take care of my legal issues.
