Good personal attorney

Sean was through and always kept me up to date on the progress of the case. His fees were not inflated and we were successful. I would definitely hire Sean again.

Great Trial Attorney

Attorney Doherty helped me out of a serious jam where I was improperly charged when defending myself against a police connected punk. Great trial attorney!

Sean Doherty Review

He was always very patient with me during the scary court process. He always made sure I was up to date with everything going on with the case and always maintained excellent communication. Always very polite with me also during and after the case took place.

Knowledgeable lawyer

Sean helped me through my case to make sure it worked out in my favor. He understands the law and the various factors the could determine the outcome of a case. He took time to make sure I understand his approach to tackle the case and answered all the questions I had. A very shrewd person, I would ...certainly recommend Sean.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
