Calm, Reassuring, Effective.

I was scared and confused and frankly completely lost when I found out I had to go to court. Thankfully I called James Doherty who was very helpful and very good at calming me down and pointing me in the right direction. One of the last things he said to me in our first phone call was to "not worry ...and everything will be ok." James reassured me every step of the way as things progressed. James was very professional individual keeping everything we spoke to on topic and efficient. I was also dealing with a big move to the west coast at the time of the case and James saved me the trouble of having to fly back to the state of New Hampshire by convincing the judge to let me appear via telephone in California state. I can't say enough about how effective and helpful James Doherty was! He was a man of few words but every single thing he said carried weight and reassurance that everything was in fact, going to be ok, and he was right! I wish I still lived in NH only to have Doherty in my back pocket in case I ever needed him again. You are in great hands with James Doherty.

Highly recommended

Jim is an excellent attorney. He made sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way through my divorce. With the pandemic coming up in the middle of the proceeding, he still made sure my case was handled smoothly and with no delays. He made sure he was available to me whenever a question ...or concern came up, and I was never left in the dark about any aspect of the process. The entire thing was as simple as it could have been, and I always felt confident that I was in good hands with Jim. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Outstanding

I worked with Jim for many years after going through several lawyers. He was the only lawyer that could resolve my cases. He is fair and responsive. I highly recommend him.

Outstanding Attorney

Consulted and hired Jim regarding a family estate issue. Even though the end result was not what I expected, Jim worked tirelessly for us. He is a commensurate professional. He also is a very compassionate and caring attorney. Would hire him again.
