Compassionate and hard working
Gene and Kathy have been extremely helpful throughout the divorce proceedings. They take the time to discuss the process and provide advice.

Imcompetent
I hired Eugene for my house partition and child custody case. Many times, in front of the judge, Eugene appeared to be unprepared and had hard time remembering my case. When judge asked him questions, he just couldn't answer. When I asked him to please say something for me in front of judge, he appea...

Excellent Attorney

Recommend Highly
I always felt I had a very available and most competent counsel with Eugene and Kathy. They were able to steer me away from a trial and bring closure in a timely fashion. I do not hesitate to recommend them highly
"I recently completed a litigated divorce case with Eugene Dougherty and he is formidable, knowledgeable, skilled and at the same time courteous lawyer. Those are difficult skills to balance and his clients are well served with his dedicated seasoned background. Clearly, clients that are being represented by Mr. Dougherty have given careful thought to hiring him and they are clearly being well served with a focused diligent tenacity."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Eugene Dougherty for many years. Highly competent and highly recommended."
