Jane Ellen Doran

I retained Jane Ellen to assist me with a personal and complicated financial issue. She was the consummate professional, skillfully educating me about laws that applied to my case and my legal options. Jane Ellen was readily available when I needed to consult her or follow up with additional question...s so that I could make informed decisions about my case. We developed a trusting relationship and as a result, I am confident I received the guidance and support I needed from Jane Ellen.

Jane Ellen represented me on a very difficult divorce and custody process. I can’t soeak highly enough of Jane Ellen. She is tough in the courtroom and very experienced. I truly appreciated how honest with me she was throughout the entire process and really guided me to make the best decisions I coul...d for my young daughter. Ms. Doran is very responsive and works incredibly hard. I hope I never have to recommend friends to an attorney for a divorce or custody negotiations, but if I did Jane Ellen would be, without a doubt, the lawyer I’d recommend. I am truly grateful to her and her firm for their professionalism, diligence, and honesty.

I am the founder of a non-profit organization Mitr (friend), which started in 1998 to primarily help first-generation immigrant women who are victims of domestic violence and abuse. I got the opportunity to work with Jane Ellen Doran while helping one of the domestic violence victims Madhavi. It is v...ery hard to find good attorneys, especially pro bono ones. Even though she was providing free service, Jane took utmost care and she was very thorough and committed throughout the case and exhibited professionalism all along. Her compassion, ethics, and integrity were outstanding. Right from day one, I had great confidence that she will provide professional service and she lived up to that and got justice for Madhavi. I am a firm believer in our judicial system but attorneys do make a huge difference in the outcome of the case. Jane made a huge impact in Madhavi's life by not only getting her justice but by doing so it helped Madhavi regain confidence in our judicial system. Going through a divorce and especially through domestic violence is in itself a tough ordeal but at least through great attorneys like Jane, people can be assured that justice will prevail. I hope there are more attorneys like Jane. Great job Jane!!! It's an honor to know you as a person and as a professional.

I was very fortunate to have Jane Ellen Doran represent me during a very lengthy, complex litigation concerning my ex-husband's attempts to negate financial aspects of our Hong Kong divorce. Throughout the process, Jane Ellen proved herself to be a bright, insightful advocate who conducted herself ...with great professionalism and integrity. Her work product, attention to detail, commitment to accuracy and knowledge were outstanding and resulted in rulings in my favor. She gave me not only a brilliant legal voice, but also an ethical and honest one and for that I am truly grateful. She is also a skilled negotiator and was able to quickly discern appropriate paths and communicate them to me simply and fully. She was invaluable in helping me understand the complexities of my situation and the potential remedies without ever making me feel uncomfortable asking questions and in the end, came up with the winning solution in this matter. I recommend her most highly.

Jane Ellen took what would have been a simple divorce and turned it into a bloodbath. The only one who won in the end was Jane Ellen, because she milked me for over $25,000. We had even gone to private mediation and worked out a settlement agreement that she proceeded to blow up. My greatest regret i...s trusting her and letting her fool me into thinking the settlement we worked out was unfair. If you have money to burn and want to make completely unreasonable demands just to prolong the already painful process, maybe she's the right attorney for you. But beware, anybody who is just looking to do the right thing and move on with their life with as much of their dignity and self-respect intact. I wish I had never hired her.
