Jim is an excellent attorney. He made sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way through my divorce. With the pandemic coming up in the middle of the proceeding, he still made sure my case was handled smoothly and with no delays. He made sure he was available to me whenever a question or concern came up, and I was never left in the dark about any aspect of the process. The entire thing was as simple as it could have been, and I always felt confident that I was in good hands with Jim. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Jim was excellent to work with. He was quick to respond to messages via email or phone. He is very knowledgable and confident. I was nervous and anxious during this process and he put me at ease with his knowledge and confiedence. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a custody matter.

I worked with Jim for many years after going through several lawyers. He was the only lawyer that could resolve my cases. He is fair and responsive. I highly recommend him.

Consulted and hired Jim regarding a family estate issue. Even though the end result was not what I expected, Jim worked tirelessly for us. He is a commensurate professional. He also is a very compassionate and caring attorney. Would hire him again.

I have been a client of Jim Doherty for a number of years, and I am very thankful for his assistance on my particularly challenging family law case. Jim is a very professional attorney with very high integrity and high standards, and he is very responsive and communicative. He has a vast understanding of the relevant law and the court system, and his arguments are very well formed and persuasive, built on in depth research of case law and his own wisdom. He is very level headed and focused on getting the job done well, and he has kept me focused on what’s important. Jim has accommodated me well around my personal situation, and I have had only positive experiences with him. I enjoy working with him and will continue to work with him as needed. I would highly recommend Jim to others.

This is my second time hiring Jim to represent me. First time was for a civil issue. This time was for a divorce. Jim and Diane (paralegal) helped me get through what is the toughest thing I have faced yet. Jim spent time right up front asking if this divorce was avoidable and if the marriage could still be saved. When the process began Jim was always working with me to resolve the issues with my ex and trying to avoid court. Jim will be tough if you ask him or not if that is what's best to find a resolution. He listens and understands the situation as well as your needs and what you are looking for. Jim and Diane are easy to get in contact with and keep you in the loop with the process. If I need representation in the future I would call Jim and would referrer him to others as well.

My review might sound cliche but I've hired Attorney Doherty over the past 10 years and his experience with family law is excellent and beyond compare. He knows the law and it's nuances, relevant case law, and is very knowledgeable rules, regulations, court personnel and judges. On every occasion, he has listened to my wishes and goals -- and paid attention to expeditiously getting results while navigating the court maze. Some times I wonder how I might have fared with a different lawyer, or shudder thinking about going without one. Jim's calm and cool temperament even through some of the most nastiest situations during my divorce was phenomenal. In a way, he has helped me learn patience, skill and strategy -- which is critical to anyone litigating a contested action in court, outside of the normal "cookie cutter" case. Jim also holds himself to the highest standards and stayed ethically strong, taking the high road on all occasions. On specific subjects in which Jim did not have experience in, he was direct and open with me -- but was also able to refer me to another colleague with solid experience in those specific areas. He knows the people and the right modes of action. As the saying goes, a good lawyer is hard to find. But find a great lawyer is even harder. I'm taking the time to write a longer review here, in the hopes that your search would be simpler and quicker. In my humble opinion, Attorney Doherty is one the best in the area, and I sincerely think you'd be glad that you hired him to represent you and your needs.

I have been working with Jim for over 10 years now. Jim has always listened to what I wanted and pushed for my best interests. He has offered innovative solutions that have ended in avoiding lengthy and costly court and negotiation sessions. When issues have gone to court he has a confident but agreeable presence, the combination of which has been highly effective.
