Fiance to his client

Review for Dennis Doherty I recently returned to my fiancé's life, and I want to share my concerns about the representation provided by Dennis Doherty. My fiancé, Tyrece Coleman, was wrongfully convicted and went back for a retrial, only to receive a reduced sentence despite overwhelming evidence ...of his innocence. Dennis convinced my fiancé, who has a learning disability, to take a plea deal by using intimidation tactics. This was a critical mistake, as the case was riddled with errors, including violations of Tyrece's Miranda rights and a complete lack of evidence to support a murder conviction. It's deeply troubling that Dennis did not represent Tyrece properly and instead scared him into accepting a plea deal that should never have been an option. Tyrece deserved a defense that truly fought for his rights and freedom, and unfortunately, that is not what he received. I cannot recommend Dennis Doherty as a legal representative. Tyrece's case is a heartbreaking reminder of the failures within our justice system and the importance of having an attorney who genuinely advocates for their clients.

Hard to find but one of the best.

What makes Dennis so great is his ability to work the courtroom. The best jury trial criminal defense attorney you will find in Illinois. How he articulates the case for the jury makes you very comfortable knowing he truly doesn't accept losing.
