Hired Attorney

My family and I hired John Dougherty in a Worker’s Compensation case. We needed someone who was easy to work with due to all of our busy schedules. John was extremely helpful and promptly returned our calls and answered all of our questions, explaining everything and made sure that we understood. He made the process easy by being flexible with coordinating meeting times and communicating via text and email. He was professional and compassionate to our case and I will highly recommend to family and friends.

Attorney Dougherty represented me in an Unemployment Compensation Appeals hearing. I felt completely confident that he would represent me, not only to the best of his outstanding capabilities, but even more so, to the best of my interests. He is professional, competent, communicative, friendly, and a man of high ethical and moral standards. I truly appreciated his representation and would highly recommend him as an outstanding personal advocate. Yes, we won the appeal.

Hired Attorney

Mr. Dougherty recently represented me for my Unemployment Compensation Appeal Hearing. I had never been in any kind of court setting before & was VERY nervous. He handled my case very professionally, he answered any & all questions and concerns I had along the way and with his help I had a successful ruling at my hearing. I truly appreciate that he had MY legal rights in focus (and made sure I also understood them) and helped me get a fair chance to tell my side of the story, which I hadn't gotten up till that point.{para}I would highly recommend hiring him to anyone & am thankful for all his help & hard work.

I retained John B. Dougherty in a Workers Compensation case. He was an incredible support during a very trying time when I was suffering both physically and financially. John Dougherty was both knowledgable and empathetic in his handling of my case. He always made sure that I was aware of and understood exactly what was happening and what the next step would be for the case. I highly recommend John Dougherty to anyone seeking an attorney that will treat you as a priority.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
