Slip and Fall Settlement

The first time I met Brion Doherty was about two years ago for my injury resulting from a fall. The insurance company constantly delayed providing information and Mr. Doherty took proper legal action to keep the case moving along. Mr Doherty kept in constant contact with me reguarding my case and ... his expetise at negotiations showed he was working for my best interest. I would recommend Brion Doherty to family and friends.

Personal Injury Settlement

Brion Doherty handled my personal injury case resulting from a car accident. The insurance company for the responsible driver was being less than responsive, and their initial settlement offer didn't meet a reasonable expectation. Mr.Doherty stepped in, quickly and painlessly reviewed my case and the... necessary documentation, and within a few weeks doubled my settlement offer. Both Mr. Doherty and his staff demonstrated thoughtfulness and efficiency, and I never felt minimized or left out of the loop. Overall, he exceeded my expectations and I have felt great referring friends and neighbors to him.
