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.

We are sorry that this individual did not have a positive experience with our firm. Her review was the first negative review we ever received. We strive to go above and beyond in providing our clients with excellent customer service and professional performance. We are responsive and attentive as she states in her review. Many of our cases are complex and have challenging adversaries but we are very successful in reaching successful outcomes for our clients. Many of our clients return to our firm for additional legal services and many often refer us to friends, family and co-workers.
"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."
