Great Lawyer Wonderful person

I had a case with another lawyer who wasn’t doing anything for me. I heard about Kathleen and I called her. She had we come to her office the next day. Soon as I met her I knew I did the right thing. Finally a person that talked to me about the case so I could understand what was actually going on. I...f you want to win your case and get the settlement you deserve just call Kathleen honest compassionate attorney.

No Small Matters!!!

Well for those of you are inquiring about retaining representation for litigation for a work related injury, look no further. I like you did not want to think that I needed an attorney for an unfortunate accident while on the job. The truth is, workmans comp insurance DOES not have your best interest..., while you may be home awaiting a phone call to see a doctor to treat you, valuable time is being wasted. With Kathy Dotoli she is A #1 source to get you quick results with treatment and being represented in courtroom for all your pain and suffering. Thank You Kathy, Gerard

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.
