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.

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

Quick & Favorable Results

I needed a competent and possible a trial attorney for a difficult divorce. Eugene was the right choice. He and his assistant Kathy were on top of things from the beginning, every little detail was covered. Eugene was able to obtain a favorable settlement for me and avoid a trial. I would recommend E...ugene Dougherty to anyone going through a divorce.

A great asset through a difficult time.

Divorce is a stressful process. Gene provided not just sound legal advice, but guidance on getting through the process. Throughout, his focus was not just on my rights, but what was best for my children. He has been an invaluable asset.
