Tremendous Lawyer, person and professional

Mr Dolan is an outstanding Lawyer. He communicates extremely well and doesn’t pull punches. The advice he gave me in my most difficult and challenging times was spot on. The way he projected things to end up is the exact way they ended up. What I liked most about Mr Dolan is he never judged me nor ma...de me feel uncomfortable. In fact he encouraged me to not let my indiscretion defined me. His litigation in court on my behalf,, in my mind was perfect and to be frank. It was unbelievable.

Outstanding Attorney and Law Firm

Doug and his firm represented me on multiple occasions. He effectively defended me on both occasions. He studied my documentation and reviewed case law to come up with an effective strategy on a case that statistically would not go in my favor. I was in awe watching Doug be the prosecutor in defend...ing false and outrageous accusations made against me. Doug methodically counter each of the allegations with facts, showed that the allegations against me were baseless and effectively demonstrated that the plaintiff was the aggressor. I love the firm and appreciate Doug for a job well done. I would 100% recommend Doug and his firm. Doug performed a miracle for me.
