Wonderful Experience

Eugene and Kathy are amazing. They were so helpful and really put the time into my case. Their responsiveness, effectiveness of communication, friendliness, and the way everything was explained to me made this a very comfortable process. I've had limited experience with the legal system, but I would ...definitely recommend Eugene Dougherty to a friend. I couldn't have had a better outcome.

Medical School Dismissal and SUCCESSFUL appeal

Eugene and Kathy were absolutely amazing in my case to be reinstated into school to continue my medical training. They were always responsive, empathetic, and made time to treat me like a friend, not just a client. They guided me through each step of the appeal process and I always felt like they wer...e there to support me. This was my first experience with hiring a lawyer. And the first time going through something like this is always scary, but I could not have chosen a better team to represent me through the process. I highly recommend Eugene Dougherty.

Great Advice

Eugene, together with his assistant Kathy, were great to work with. They were responsive, reasonable and kept their eye on the "big picture." Very helpful to resolve a difficult divorce. I'd highly recommend them.

Education Law

He is very passionate, personable and understanding. He is honest and will do his absolute best to help a client. After i presented my case to him, he did a very thorough research, requested documentation and read everything with the limited amount of time we had. I was absolutely pleased with his w...ork.

Great Team!

Eugene and Kathy (his wife who does the financial part) are a great team. They worked on my divorce case. They are extremely prompt in responding and completing paper work. Any questions or concerns that you may have are answered expediently.

  • 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.
