Grace (Doherty) Rohan has been my attorney for almost 5 years now. Divorce is a terrible process which can only be made better by somebody who will tell you the truth and fight for you no matter what. With Grace, I feel like I have an advocate and a partner through everything. She tells me what I need to hear, even if I don't want to hear it. She learned long ago what was important to me and works around the clock to make sure those things are the priorities that we fight for. She also manages to do this without running up costs. I'm grateful to have found Grace and would recommend her to anybody that is going through any family law situation.

Grace made the process very simple. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable and knew exactly how to proceed so that we could achieve the results we wanted. I actually walked away with a more fair settlement than I ever thought I would get because my ex was very irrational and thought I deserved nothing. The best part is that Grace is extremely fair in her invoicing and did not nickel and dime me. I was so relieved when I received statements every month. I highly recommend Grace. She is also extremely efficient, effective, and to the point.

Grace was the attorney primarily assisting me with my divorce last year. She is intelligent, insightful and possesses the ability to provide professional advice in a positive manner. Grace will tell you the truth in a way you can accept and internalize it. She will also listen to you. She is on time, prepared and will work around your schedule. She is strong enough to hold her own against a combative counterpart and resourceful enough to win when she should. She is also willing to compromise when appropriate and develop an agreement acceptable to all parties. Grace is passionate about her work. I would hire her again.

This practice is far better than my first attorney who expexted me to know the legal lingo and critisized me when I was unsure of the court oroceedings. From my perspective, Grace is a professional who truly cared for me as a client. With her knowledge about law, she steered me in the right direction. I liked her style of being upfront about the best and worst case scenarios. On too of that, just as my profession, she did not end her job at 5:00. Grace seemed to be available to me all times of the day or night or the early morning. With that said, she put trust into her clients because there were times she called me from her cell phone. Grace made an ugly situation into a pleasant experience. Although the services were not cheap, the outcome was well worth the money. I was referred to the practice and will continue to spread the word.

I had the pleasure of meeting Grace during the summer of 2015 when I hired her firm to represent me during my divorce. It was an incredibly difficult time in my life, and Grace was patient, understanding and compassionate. I liked her demeanor and was immediately drawn to not only her professionalism but also her insight, concern and appreciation for my case. She explained every step of the process in a way that I could understand, and never made me feel unintelligent. She was thorough, organized, detail-orientated and followed through on every promise she made. Grace kept me abreast of what was happening weekly with my case, and always had my best interests in mind especially when the situation became difficult. She continuously kept a level head, and made thoughtful, intelligent suggestions but always said the choice was mine. She never became angry when I had a multitude of questions about processes, procedures, steps or what would happen next with my case. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for an incredible divorce attorney. Although it was one of the most difficult journeys I had yet to face, I was thankful that Grace was with me every step of the way.

I hired Grace and Beermann Law to handle my custody dispute case that began last year, and could not have been more satisfied with the outcome. Grace operated with the utmost professionalism, quick response (even after "normal business hours"), and was always considering mine and my daughters best interest. Grace was extremely knowledgeable in this matter and I felt like I was always in good hands. I am a single father, our case lasted about a year, and started when my daughter was 6mo old. We ended up getting much of what I was looking for and thought the outcome was more than fair in my favor. Grace is a true professional and fantastic attorney and I would recommend her for any custody/family law case. Thanks Grace!

I was very happy with the representation provided by Grace Doherty. She helped me with my divorce proceedings that became very heated. My ex-wife hired a very combat.ive attorney who tried to make the proceedings personal. Grace helped me maintain my composure and kept me calm and on track throughout the process. She worked hard to help me meet my objectives and I felt very satisfied with the resolution. I would recommend Grace to anyone who has a family law issue.
