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.

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.

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. They are quick to respond to any of my questions and remained transparent in letting me know progress updates of the proceeding. What is a difficult thing to go... through, Gene and Kathy were at my side every step of the way.

Excellent lawyer

After going through two lawyers with my divorce and not getting custody over my kids. I was about to give up before I met Mr Dougherty and Kathy his “paralegal”. Not did he only give me hope he did a miracle for me. He made sure I got all my rights and custody over my kids. Kathy and Mr Dougherty wer...e a great team to work with and always made me feel like family more than a client. I really highly recommend this team from heaven that will do miracle for you. Suzy K

Excellent Attorney

I wish I had Mr. Dougherty representing me from day one of my divorce proceedings. I had to hire him after the first attorney I hired failed me miserably. Mr. Dougherty represented me strongly and negotiated in my interests to the point where he saved me thousands of dollars. He was responsive and... his follow-up was conducted in a timely and accurate manner. He's very approachable and will always find the time to provide you with realistic consultations. If you're looking for an experienced attorney, look no further. I'm very confident that he will meet or exceed your expectations.

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.
