Kathleen Dolan Is an incredible lawyer

Kathleen Dolan is a phenomenal lawyer! She was knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. I had many charges against myself and Ms. Dolan had gotten most of them dropped during the preliminary hearing. Kathleen had many connections in the courthouse and proved to be key during my sentencing. She struck a ...deal with the states attorney and the charges against me were eventually expunged. Kathleen is a shark in the court room and will fight for your best outcome. We didn’t need to communicate much because she took care of everything. She was very honest and never promised us anything she could not execute. Ms. Dolan worked hard to fight my case and understood that I had a lot to lose. She treated me with respect and did not treat me like just another client. I highly recommend Kathleen Dolan as a lawyer.

Best lawyer hands down!!

I had huge debt with ICC and being a single mom with two kids I didn't see away out! I was referred to Kathleen Dolan by a friend and I have to say that this lawyer was highly professional, compassionate and worked tirelessly to resolve my case. I was able to settle my debt and avoid my license bei...ng suspended. I highly recommend anyone in any kind of trouble with traffic criminal law to contact Kathleen Dolas Esq. She will save your behind!!

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....

VERY UNSATISFIED CLIENT

DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN !!! My daughter and I met with her November 2015. She agreed to represent us in two peace order hearings, my daughter's two false criminal charges, and she also agreed to shield some old charges that my daughter had on her record. She took our $2,000 dollars and handled the pea...ce order hearings ( where she failed to get them dismissed ) and then said that was all she agreed to do. The contract was written up in my daughter's name and states that she would handle the peace orders and the criminal charges. She was very ugly and rude to my daughter in a email. She failed to show up for the first criminal charge hearing on December 8,2015. She did not return my daughter's phone calls. I am an older disabled woman that survives on social security disability. The $2,000.00 I gave her was all the money that I could come up with. I will repeat myself - DO NOT HIRE KATHLEEN DOLAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I consider Kathleen a mentor. She is a great criminal defense lawyer. She is very knowledgable about all the judges and prosecutors in Montgomery and PG Counties, which can be very important in the Maryland system. She is creative, tenacious, and, in short, who I would call if I were in trouble."
