Worked against me!

He did such a bad job in my divorce that I fired him. The judge forced me to hire him back. I filed an ethics complaint against him. I am waiting for the final decision, which I should receive soon. I will post an update at that time.

Stellar Performance

I hired Paul Dougherty, Esq two and half years ago. He won my Final Restraining Order, Finalized my divorce and got supervised visitation for my children when visiting my ex-husband. All divorces are hard but, this was extremely volatile with extreme circumstances. Mr. Dougherty not only won all of m...y cases but, was available and supportive through the entire process. It was great dealing with one lawyer and his assistant, Tina. They always new what was happening and treated you like friends and family. I would recommend him to my family and friends with out a hesitation. It is nice to know there are still good people in this world.

Treats you like family and office staff is amazing!

Mr. Dougherty won my life long restraining order case, child custody case and delivered on my divorce negotiations with three wins!! He responded in a timely matter and his assistant was amazing help. Would recommend him to all my friends and family.
