very helpful

Katleen was very helpful in my case. We didn't win but she went to a lot of trouble to make the best of a bad situation. She met with my family and took the time to assuage their anxiety at my situation. She's been very helpful to me before, during, and after trial and she's gone to great lengths to ...help me clear my name and my record.

Extremely Professional and Reliable

Kathleen A. Dolan resolved my issue for me with much better results than I ever would have expected. She was great to work with and made me feel comfortable by explaining my legal options clearly to me. I feel like she is a very honest and direct person; I also feel like she worked very hard for me. ...My case involved property damage and I am very pleased with the results that Kathleen achieved for me because I feel that I was treated very fairly.

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!!

Supportive and Caring Attorney

Kathleen Kennedy was an extremely helpful and knowledgeable lawyer in my case. From the first moment of contact about needing her help for a minor drinking offense she explained possible ways to handle the situation. She gave the many different outcomes and the positives and negative of each. After c...onfidently explaining she would do everything she could do defend me a horribly unfair citation , I decided to take it to court. In the meeting with the Maryland youth alcohol official, Kathleen vehemently defended me and negotiated a deal far less intense as some of my peers who did not choose to fight the citation. I would strongly recommend Kathleen Kennedy to anyone looking for a dedicated lawyer. She always had my very best interest in mind during the entire process, which gave me relief to know I was in good hands.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
