Best Lawyer in the Central Valley

I’m extremely satisfied with Curtis Daugherty. He provided outstanding counsel during our long and complex case. He and his team originally helped us back in 2019 with our 1st guardianship case and again in 2021-22 with our 2nd case terminating parental rights with the sole purpose to adopt. He’s ten...acious, professional, communicative, considerate, aggressive and not afraid of a challenge. He’s great to work with and educated us on what to expect, what the likely outcome would be and then he achieved it. He exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond for our family. Thank you, Curtis, Jackie and Melissa for all your help and patience in our termination of parental rights/adoption case. Without a shadow of doubt, I highly recommend him to anyone out there that needs great counsel for their family matters.

Curtis has changed my life

Being inside of a challenging case with Child support services my entire adult life, has created many road blocks and lost opportunities in my life. Losing my ability to drive, work, or travel, only made my goals seem more and more distant. I discovered Curtis through Google, and agywr seeing his rat...ings and reviews, immediately booked for consultation. His staff is fantastic, as Rachel set up my initial meeting and helped put me at ease. Curtis is professional, an excellent listener, moves to action to accomplish what is needed, and has a great sense of humor and demeanor as well, which helps when you find yourself intimidated by the legal system. To sum up, I would refer anyone that needed a great representative in law, to Curtis. Thank you again Chad

Amazing!

I cannot Express how grateful I am to have had Mr. Daughterey represent my case in court. I came to him for help with child custody and divorce plus a move away request. I was trying to do things myself without the help of an attorney until things got messy. My case was confusing with all the back an...d forth filings between my ex and I. He quickly made sense of it all and worked with me to come up with a response on short notice. He has a very sharp mind and excellent people skills. I was made comfortable and confident in him from day one. I was able to win my case and I could not have done it without him! I should also mention he has wonderful office staff who are very helpful and kind.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I cannot thank Curtis Daugherty and his assistant Maggie Marquez enough for everything they have done for me and my case. I had 2 days to respond; Mr. Daugherty and Ms. Marquez worked with proficiency and put together my case in a prompt manner. They both made me feel comfortable and confident that I... had chosen the right attorney for me. Mr. Daugherty and Ms. Marquez both are professional, prompt, and really care for their clients. I really appreciated that Mr. Daugherty explained everything thoroughly and made sure I understood what he was talking about. I never had to worry like I have in the past with assistants relaying messages to the attorney. Mr. Daugherty and Ms. Marquez work together so well and make a great team!

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jan 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am an Oregon attorney that worked together with Mr. Daugherty on a divorce matter that involved filings in both Oregon and California. In working with him, it is clear that Mr. Daugherty is extremely intelligent, prompt in responding to questions or concerns, and efficient in strongly advocating for his clients. He is now the attorney I refer clients and others to when they have any family law matters in his part of California (Tulare County, Kings County, Fresno County, etc.)."
