He has successfully prosecuted civil cases in Federal Courts against the Police on behalf of clients which had their civil rights violated. He has successfully briefed and argued multiple criminal and civil appeals in the Massachusetts Court of Appeals and has the rare distinction of appearing before the Supreme Judicial Court on behalf of a client and successfully arguing his case there which ultimately resulted in a remand of the case and a dismissal of the very serious potentially life altering charges. Attorney Dougherty cares about his client’s and not just the ‘bottom line’, perhaps that is what makes him so well thought of. You are better off with an attorney that has compassion, life experience, and significant legal experience in dealing with your legal issue in any court.
