I needed a competent and possible a trial attorney for a difficult divorce. Eugene was the right choice. He and his assistant Kathy were on top of things from the beginning, every little detail was covered. Eugene was able to obtain a favorable settlement for me and avoid a trial. I would recommend Eugene Dougherty to anyone going through a divorce.

If you are going through a painful divorce, Eugene and his wife Kathy will treat you like family. If you are looking for compassion and understanding, Eugene is the lawyer that you want by your side. He made an incredibly challenging and frustrating time a bit easier with his caring approach.

It is possible to find a highly qualified and affordable attorney that provides results. It's Eugene. Eugene and his office were responsible for resolving a residency issue with my school district. At the worst time for my children and myself, Eugene gave us piece of mind and results.

After consulting with several attorneys, I met Eugene Dougherty and knew he was the attorney I wanted to represent me during my divorce. Mr. Dougherty is diligent, highly knowledgeable in all divorce laws, and HONEST. Right from the start Mr. Dougherty showed that his utmost concern was for me and the needs of my children, both in the future as well as during the divorce process. Mr. Dougherty and his paralegal, Kathy, were highly responsive to all my questions and concerns seemingly working 24/7 for me. They always ensured that I had a full understanding of the legal process. Mr. Dougherty and Kathy were very understanding of my personal situation at all times during the divorce process and always made me feel as if I were their number one priority. I have and will continue to recommend Mr. Dougherty. I know you will not find a more hardworking, reliable, and honest attorney whose firm creates a personal interaction that shows they genuinely care about their clients.--Debbie K.

Eugene Dougherty made it possible for me to move on with my life. He cleaned up a mess made by my ex-wife and my ex-attorney. Eugene was able to reunite me with my youngest child, who was not coming on my court appointed visitation days. Eugene never once promised miracles instead gave fair and realistic counsel. I know in my heart Eugene Dougherty fought for me and for that I will be forever grateful. Dave M. Cortlandt Manor.

Gene is very knowledgeable and has years of experience which shows when issues come up. Kathy his assistant is a finnacial expert and can quickly do "the mumbers" when you need that information. They both make a Great Team. The communication is quick and on target. Gene is always available and will take your call no matter the time to answer any question. I was pleased with the outcome they sought for me and would consult them again if I needed to.

I and other family members have used Gene for a variety of legal matters. While his specialty is matrimonial law, the scope of his legal knowledge is broad.{para}Gene distinguishes himself with his ability to listen to his clients with patience and discernment. While setting realistic expectations, Gene guides his clients through what can often be muddy waters with intelligence, commitment and utmost professionalism.{para}We highly recommend his services.

Eugene and his assistant Kathy, are top notch. They will personally answer your calls day or night and they work hard for your money. They try and get the best outcome for the least amount for you to have to spend.. I would recommend him for a divorce case and would use him for anything else involving divorce or marriage. His assistant Kathy is well versed in the financial world and will be a asset to Eugene's services.

The process of getting a divorce can be painful to both your body and your soul. My decision to seek counsel from Gene was in hindsight a great decision. His dedication and compassion to my well being as well as my future were never questioned. Through the entire process I never thought I was just another number on a file. Now months after my divorce was settled I once again have hope. Thank you Gene!!!

Mr. Dougherty, and his staff, were so very helpful to me during my divorce and when there was an issue later on in collecting agreed upon alimony! I could not say enough about his trustworthiness, his knowledge and his responsiveness to me during both of these difficult periods. Mr. Dougherty and his staff kept me well informed during the processes and great outcomes were achieved in both. He and his staff were also very caring which is also helpful. I would not recommend anyone else! And have recommended him to friends and acquaintances. He and his staff are Wonderful.
