Eugene R. Dougherty

Nice man, I met him for an initial consult back in 2021 and paid $500 for a review of my case. He was present with his wife, I decided to not move forward with him because at the time during our meeting it seemed like he was quite forgetful and I didn't feel comfortable moving forward in filing a case with him. His wife actually was present and answered a lot of the questions so I'm not sure what was going on memory wise. They were both pleasant people and did give me some helpful advice that helped me on next steps so I didn't feel like it was a waste of money. I was just concerned about hiring them for a long case where they needed to keep a lot of details in order in a more or less friendly divorce.

He was my lawyer for two months representing me for child custody and partition of the house. In all the court appearances, Eugene seemed to be without preparation and had difficulties remembering what happened in my case. When the judge asked him a question, he normally couldn't answer or just said my client wanted it without giving any basis or reason, which made judge pretty angry, asking him why? And he couldn't answer. Many times, I had to plea him please say something for me in front of judge. He damaged my case, when I expressed my concerns to him during the process, he seemed to be defensive and had no clue. I fired him after two months.

Eugene and his wife truly made me feel not only like I was in professional hands, but in the hands of my family. They are knowledgeable and go above and beyond. I recommend them over and over again.

Always there and helpful every step of the way

Mr. Dougherty and Kathy did a great job at getting me back with my daughter Ianna. Her mother was trying to take her away from me. The court system is ridiculous and confusing and they navigated it like the pros they are.

Eugene and Kathy helped me with my divorce. It was painless and quick!

Eugene did a great job with my divorce. He was very responsive and helped me through some difficult aspects of my agreement. He was very helpful and was always available. They made a very difficult time in my life a little easier.

Eugene and Kathy are amazing. They were so helpful and really put the time into my case. Their responsiveness, effectiveness of communication, friendliness, and the way everything was explained to me made this a very comfortable process. I've had limited experience with the legal system, but I would definitely recommend Eugene Dougherty to a friend. I couldn't have had a better outcome.

Eugene and Kathy were absolutely amazing in my case to be reinstated into school to continue my medical training. They were always responsive, empathetic, and made time to treat me like a friend, not just a client. They guided me through each step of the appeal process and I always felt like they were there to support me. This was my first experience with hiring a lawyer. And the first time going through something like this is always scary, but I could not have chosen a better team to represent me through the process. I highly recommend Eugene Dougherty.

Eugene and Kathy (paralegal) worked tirelessly and efficiently against my wrongful dismissal from the educational institution I was attending at the time. I was impressed with how well they listened to my case and their direct and candid assessment of how to approach my appeal. I also appreciated the support they provided me. I was confident that they were working hard for me and making sure no stone was left unturned to provide me justice. Needless to say, I won my appeal. I highly recommend Eugene to any student who feels their educational institution is treating them unfairly.

I would like to take this time to thank Mr. Eugene Dougherty for his dedication, determination, knowledge, and professionalism. His ability as an attorney has enabled me to have an equal chance of being a parent to my son. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of an experienced attorney.

Eugene is a wonderful lawyer. He fought for all my rights and won my case. I will recommend him for any child support matter. He is very professional.

He was very professional and was able to respond to the request within a very short time frame. He is thorough, personable, organized and will do his absolute best to assist. I would highly recommend him.

I retained him on a sensitive matter and by his persistence and familiarity with the Court system he was able to successfully negotiate a very good settlement for me.
