Acknowledging the great job of Domhnall O'Cathian. A great representative that leaves a memorable path

I was highly pleased and satisfied with Domhnall with the way he represented me with my case. My interaction with him was pleasing, he was reponsive to all my calls and always updating me on the status of my case. He never ignored me and that is very uncommon among lawyers. he knows his job and very ...knowledgeable about what he does, never raised my hopes falsely. He made me feel he was working for me. He is dependable and reliable, always on time whenever he had an appointment to meet with me. He always make me feel relax during meetings with the defendant lawyers by speaking on my behalf. He demonstrated he loves what he does for a living and he does it well.

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.
