Client Testimonials

I had a complex issue for a family law case that required a quick decision/turnaround. I was referred to Matt Dolan by my former attorney (who has since retired.). Within 24 hours of reaching out to Matt, he informed me of the documents I would need for him to review. After obtaining and forwarding the documents to him, he had an answer for me the following day. Atty Dolan is diligent and clear. -John R.

Matthew Dolan represented me during my divorce. I am very happy with his services. I felt that he demonstrated a strong interest in my case. He was very good at helping me understand some of the tricky situations that were involved through the lens of the court system during this litigation process. He was very attentive, thoughtful, and respectful. He was always very responsive to my calls and concerns. I felt that he represented me with well articulated arguments defending my interests and those of my children. I felt that he help me reach the best outcomes without unreasonable expectations and helped me maintain realistic perspectives. I plan on having Matthew Dolan continue to advise and represent me for any family court matters in the future if needed. I would definitely recommend choosing Dolan and Dolan for representation. -Natasha R.

Matt Dolan was exceptional throughout my entire divorce process. He was very responsive and explained everything in a way that I could understand. He also continued to find errors and mistakes that the mediation attorneys would miss. He advocated on my behalf, but not in a “pushy lawyer” kind of way, but by pointing out facts and information that are common place during today’s divorce proceedings. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I strongly recommend his services if you are looking for a quality and honest attorney. -Doug L.
