A Brilliant Attorney - "the Fixer"

Padraic Dugan came into my divorce case late in the litigation process when I was in dire straits due to poor legal representation and he turned things around - in effect righting many of the wrongs. Thanks to Padraic's incredible ability to process the details of my complex case history, his tirel...ess preparation and cohesive arguments, I went on to prevail in court decisions. I also note that he treated me with great patience and dignity at this exceedingly difficult time in my life.

"I have known Padraic Dugan for years. Mr. Dugan is very enthusiastic about his practice and in my discussions with him has demonstrated an in depth understanding of the legal principles and legal authority applicable to his family law and divorce practice area as well as a highly competent approach to the practical applications of those legal principles. Seems to work extremely hard for his clients and obviously has a strong work ethic."

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.

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.
