WARNING!!
Gerard Dougherty was extremely unprofessional towards me. I have alerted and warned many friends, especially female, from using his mediocre attorney skills.

Lawyer that cares
Mr. Dougherty helped me through a car accident. I had to get surgery because of the crash. Gerry took care of everything! everyone at the firm is helpful and kind. I have referred Gerry numerous times to friends colleagues and family. He won every case which ranged from breach of contract to criminal...

Very dependable and trustworthy
I have hired Gerard twice for personal legal purposes. He is a good listener, is highly responsive and thorough, and takes time to walk clients through legal process, estimated time required to perform services and estimated costs. I would recommend him to family and friends.

Great Attorney!
Mr. Dougherty went to bat for us regarding a corporate lawsuit. Due to his skill, the case was settled out of court. Since then, he has been our attorney and we would never go anywhere else.

Integrity
Honesty, integrity that's Gerard. First time I met him was the opposing counsel. I liked his character & integrity. And later he became my perminant counsel .

"I endorse Gerard. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I sent a client to Gerry Dougherty recently. He saved the day. What started out as a routine real estate matter turned into a deal gone wrong coupled with estate planning issues. Gerry’s attention to detail and skill saved the estate tens of thousands of dollars. His skill and interpersonal skills during this crisis made a terrible time easier. Gerry also made me look very good for referring one of my oldest friends to him."
"I have known Mr. Dougherty for approximately 22 years and worked side by side with him for 4 of those years as co-workers and then later as partners in a law firm. Mr. Dougherty is an excellent trial attorney and litigator, especially in the areas of Construction Defects, Personal Injury and Family Law. Mr. Dougherty is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and detail oriented in his work, and really shines when it comes to case investigation, trial preparation and in trial. Mr. Dougherty is an extremely skillful and competent attorney that I can whole-heartedly recommend without reservation for any type of legal matter."
"Gerry was my law partner for 10 years and does excellent work. He is a superb trial attorney."
