Shawn Dougherty

I contacted Shawn Dougherty by referral and had a very thorough, educated consultation with her, which led me to hire her. It's been a nightmare since. Divorce is something I know absolutely nothing about and expected professional support and guidance-- no hand holding, no hugs as I have people in ...my life for that if needed.. I know nothing more about it now except that all of my questions are stupid and I talk too much for her when I've always been accused of not talking enough by anyone else. The divorce is simple, uncontested and amicable so there is not a lot of work involved but I couldn't figure out why this woman disliked me so much until I read these reviews. I now understand that this is simply who she is, not who I am. I've always had a healthy educational relationship with lawyers so it's a relief to know it's the personality I'm dealing with. So to avoid being yelled at and mocked, I simply do not call and I do not ask questions. If I need to know something, I've been informed via email so I know that will continue. It's just a shame that in the midst of dealing with something so emotional anyway, your bigger enemy turns out to be the person who is supposed to be the one fighting for you.
