Best Outcome I Could Have Asked For

I had a great experience with Ms Dolan. I was being tried for leaving an accident and the woman that I had hit was claiming bodily injury even though my insurance was contacted and her slight car damages were repaired for her. She could have likely sued me further had she gotten away with her cla...im. It's a very scary situation to deal with police and courts (especially when you have no experience). Kathleen helped calm my fears before the court date and that gave me some more good nights sleep. The day of court, I walked out with a small ticket, no points, no blemishes to my license and no issues at all. Every case is different certainly, but I know that she provided me the best possible defense and allowed me to go on with my life with no further implications. I would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone seeking defense representation. She knows her stuff!

Very Satisfied Client

I could not be more impressed with my representation from Ms. Dolan. From day one she was extremely available (phone, text, email), knowledgeable, and understanding. If you want the job done right, hire Ms. Dolan. While she may not be warm and fuzzy, she will do everything in her power to help you....

GOT THE JOB DONE.

Nothing really negative to say about Mrs. Dolan, I was able to contact her through phone, Text, and email. She was extremely knowledgeable, and explained me the process in a form i could easy understand. I was charged with a DUI, negligent driving, and other charges related to that. Court day arrive...d and I was nervous, i didn't know what to expect. I was the last one called up, and off the bat I saw that the states attorney did not want to go easy on me, but because of Mrs. Dolans knowledge of the law and aggressiveness towards the court. I came out with all charges dropped except one for not having my registration. I barley restrained myself from standing up and celebrating. Maybe to other people a DUI is just a DUI, but for me its a huge increase in my insurance policy, its a suspended licence, and expensive classes that i don't have time for. I am very grateful for her services.

Kathleen Dolan - An Excellent Attorney

Last year I was in search of a good attorney. I received numerous letters in the mail from attorneys stating they could meet my needs. After several phone calls and interviewing a few attorneys, upon meeting with Ms. Dolan I knew she was exactly who I was looking for. I left my meeting with her fe...eling relieved that the results would be what I was looking for. The results more than turned out this way. Ms. Dolan is an exemplary attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable of laws and well versed in all areas of the judicial system. In addition, she is professional, detail orientated, compassionate, and will only seek the best for her clients. She is direct and honest with her opinions and suggestion of how she would handle the situation; putting herself in your shoes. Ms. Dolan was always available via phone, e-mail, and text. This included after hours and on weekends and holidays! She also has a hard working professional assistant who is always available to inform you of Ms. Dolan's schedule. I would highly recommended Ms. Kathleen Dolan for any legal advice or assistance
