James Dooley

A few years ago, I had the privilege of working with James Dooley, and I can say that his legal service was exceptional. From the moment I reached out for assistance until the resolution of my case, I was impressed by James' professionalism, expertise and his unwavering commitment to my case. What... I was most impressed with; James' remarkable expertise and his strategic approach. I would highly recommend James to anyone seeking legal representation for divorce.

Highly recommended lawyer

During a low point in my life with a long, drawn out legal battle, I was very glad to have James on my side. Not only was his professional legal assistance top notch, but his occasional and timely levity was appreciated. I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
