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!

Fantastic Lawyer!

Kathleen was so helpful and knowledgeable about my case and explained everything in detail. She was always available by text or phone to answer any questions I had. She made an extremely stressful situation much easier to deal with. Very open and honest. Even though I now have much less faith in ...the judicial system overall, my faith in Kathleen is solid. Thankfully she was able to get everything I was wrongfully accused of erased from my record completely. If you find yourself needing a lawyer don't hesitate to call Kathleen!!

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."
