Kymberleigh uses her knowledge of the law to not only resolve conflicts but to also avoid and reduce conflicts. This is critical when you have to co parent with the opposing party. She knows what the judges will likely do which is extremely valuable.

Working with this lawyer is just knowing you are in good hands. She is efficient, trustworthy, communication is excellent and things get done! She is a hustler. Anytime we need professional advice she is the first person I go to and if it’s something she doesn’t handle she will direct me to the right lawyer; always willing to help. I definitely would recommend this lawyer to all of my friends and family.

Ms. Dougherty handled my custody and adoption case with great care, compassion, and dedication. She was always there to answer questions and put my mind at ease during an incredibly stressful and scary process. She is a fierce advocate for her clients while at the same time being reasonable and fair. I would not hesitate to refer anybody to Ms. Dougherty. She gets things done when others cannot. We will forever be grateful for her help.
