Posted by Alex | February 08, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Great Lawyer! - DUI

I would personally highly recommend Dennis for any criminal defense case. He walked me through my DUI without any complications. He was very courteous and his professionalism is top notch. He was open to any form of communication and was always available. Dennis truly made this complicated process mu...ch less stressful than I had originally thought it was going to be. He also made sure from the beginning that my interests were defended to the fullest extent. Once again, I highly recommend Dennis Dougherty to anyone is facing any criminal charges and is looking for outstanding legal representation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
