In order to buy or sell property in Connecticut, you must be represented by an attorney. My brother recently passed away, and because we live in Florida we didn't know where to turn for assistance. Our realtor provided us a list of three names, and Jim's was at the top of the list. I called Mr. Dougherty after having read reviews and visiting his website. It was immediately apparent in speaking with Jim, that he was exactly the kind of attorney that would make me feel well represented. Soft-spoken, extremely knowledgeable, and methodical in his approach, resulted in a very quick and stressless conclusion to the sale. James Dougherty is exactly the kind of attorney that will put you at ease, and remove any anxiety when in the position of requiring legal representation.

I know Jim very well, and have partnered with him on many matters. Jim is a client's favorite attorney because he is extremely responsive - he always returns telephone calls and e mails promptly. Jim is a highly skilled attorney, and very knowledgeable for elder law and estate planning matters. Jim is ethical, and you will feel most comfortable telling anyone to "speak to my attorney," knowing he will protect your interests.

I have worked with Jim Dougherty on numerous transactions and he has been extremely thorough and responsive throughout the process. Jim has demonstrated not only a keen knowledge of the underlying legal issues but has also achieved the business goals of the transactions as well. I would highly recommend Jim and I will continue to use him for my legal work.

I've known Jim Dougherty professionally for nearly 20 years, during which time he's proven himself to be wise, knowledgeable and reliable, three qualities I value above all others. Whenever I've needed his help he responded with alacrity. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking good legal advice or representation. He's an excellent lawyer- you won't be disappointed.
