INCREDIBLE

Doherty was very friendly, supportive, and prompt. He genuinely looks out for his clients. VERY grateful to have found him. 10/10 recommend.

AMAZING!

Patrick is hands down the best attorney in Montgomery County. I contacted multiple attorneys who all told me I was facing jail time no matter what. Fast forward I call Mr. Doherty and in the end I got to go home to my wife and kids. Also the other attorneys charged me double or triple what Pat charge...d and then told me I was going to jail. Go figure. Pat is a good attorney because he values his reputation over sucking money out of people and then never speaking with them. Go with Patrick Doherty. Save yourself the aggravation.

The man

Patrick has absolutely saved my life from going to hell. I had basically just turned my life around in a positive direction - new job, new apartment, healthier lifestyle, and I was so close to getting my license back. However, I made a poor choice to drive to the grocery store and got caught driving ...on a suspended license. I thought i was absolutely screwed and facing months in prison and possibly never returning to driving again. However, Patrick worked his magic and managed to get me off with only a small fine, and now I am legally able to drive again. Without Patrick saving the day, I would likely be behind bars- afterward unemployed, broke again and giving up on life. On top of all of this, he did it for a reasonable fee. For the work he performed and the affordable fee he charged, you will not find a better outcome anywhere else. Patrick is the absolute man and I could not be happier with how he communicated with me through the process and the end result. He got my life back and it’s better than it’s ever been.

He Gets Results!

The Town Law gets results! My attorney Patrick T. Doherty, was extremely knowledgeable and empathetic to my situation. This was my first time defending myself in court, so naturally I was anxious and apprehensive. However, Patrick's diligence throughout the proceedings assured me that we could achiev...e the best possible outcome, which put my mind at ease. His communication outside of court was excellent as well, I never had to follow up with him, and he was very proactive in perusing every possible avenue for my defense. I highly recommend him and Town Law!

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.
