Dougherty, Hanneman, & Piccin, LLC

I can't say enough good things about Attorney Doug Dougherty and his firm. No one ever plans to go through a divorce, and most of us have no clue what we are truly getting into. Doug became my trusted advisor very quickly, giving me honest advice and all the information I needed to make decisions. He always had my children's best interests in mind too, which was the reason he was referred to me in the first place. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Doug Dougherty was my attorney for my divorce. Unfortunately I had 2 prior attorneys to Doug - my first went on medical leave for the 2 months leading up to my initial hearing so I had to make a quick change. My second was almost impossible to get a hold of and it actually cost me the ability to have expert witnesses at my trial. Things totally changed when I found Doug. He is responsive, thorough, attentive, and extremely smart. He is a multiple time winner at the Ohio Supreme court for a reason. I would first suggest never going through a divorce but if you do, Doug is who you want representing you. Also, on a personal level Doug is genuine and real and will do everything he can to help you. Had he been my first attorney I know my outcome would have been even better than what it turned out and I still got almost everything I wanted. I told him when we settled with my x that it was a shame I didn't get to see him in court. If you're going through a divorce at least take the time to meet with him, you will not be disappointed.

Doug Dougherty recently helped resolve my case - which involved a complicated legal issue - whereby I was seeking the court's relief from a prior alimony judgment due to circumstances that required me to retire from my job. The law in this area was somewhat unsettled and Doug did a fantastic job outlining the current state of the applicable law and the prospects for a successful outcome. Doug was very professional, communicative and thoughtful of managing the costs of the process. I would highly recommend Doug not only for his knowledge, professionalism and aggressive representation - but he's also a great guy to work with in such difficult circumstances.

I used Doug Dougherty for my divorce in June 2010. I have found out over the years how well my divorce was written and handled with interactions between us and my husband's attorneys at the time. Doug was always very professional and timely in his responses to issues pertaining to my divorce and with interactions with the other attorneys. I have had instances where my ex has tried to change how things are done, and due to the way my divorce was written, he couldn't do it. Doug made sure my divorce decree covered me now and in the future, should something happen to my ex-husband. I feel very fortunate to have had Doug as my attorney.

Finding Doug Dougherty when I did was a blessing. I was using another attorney, from a completely different firm, and was at my breaking point. My divorce was final, but QDRO's and finalizing all the details had yet to be resolved. My life savings were in jeopardy and my, then current, attorney was unresponsive and completely checked out from the process. Doug took on my case, got up to speed quickly and set everything in motion. He was kind, professional and explained everything to me so that I fully understood the process. He was also very clear on expectations to the outcome of certain case items, which I appreciated greatly. I wish I would have known Doug at the beginning of my divorce journey. I'm sure my outcome would have been much better. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing their services. Top notch!!

I have had the pleasure of working with this wonderful lawyer. I recently went through a tricky dissolution and Doug was able to help me work through every step and obstacle that came up. Doug is very intelligent, well knowledged of the law, and the research is he is willing to do is way up and beyond anyone else. He has treated me like family from day one, spoke to me directly but had kindness in his voice and overall let me know what he thought the whole way throughout the case. His passion for his clients and his career is clearly seen the moment you speak to him on the phone. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed a clear picture of the law, with knowledge to make your dissolution/divorce smooth.

I met Mr. Dougherty in 2004. I had a mixture of emotions as I had to begin this process. He was kind, friendly and quite professional. He made me feel valued for the questions I asked and the work I did to finally complete my divorce in April, 2006. I just re-visited the office the other day, something I had wanted to do for years! Representing my best interests, even when I did not know what they were, has provided a happy and fulfilling lifestyle, especially in these retirement years. Thank you and it was great seeing you!
