Kathleen A. Dolan - Rockville, MD

Please do not work with this attorney she had the evidence at the time of trial to prove that the day my terminated employee said I assaulted her I was in Ohio and because I didn’t pay her all her money at the time she did absolutely nothing to defend me I was found guilty and she had witnesses at the time she could have put on the stand but didn’t call any witnesses please don’t hire her I took a lie detector test and passed it 4 times I

I hired Kathleen to work on my restraining order case which was initially a retaliation case due to me putting one on the petitioner first. When I hired her, she felt fairly confident this case could be easily dropped, she understood I wanted this case dropped or dismissed as soon as possible so it can clear my record. I initially lost the case so I decided to hire a lawyer to appeal and get the case dismissed. She called me two days prior to the court date, with a complete different conversation than what our goal was. She strongly suggesting just to consent and wait a year to get it sheild I told her no, if that was the case, I could’ve just waited a year and try to get it shield myself and saved my money. This really wasn’t a difficult case, I had witnesses, text messages, more physical proof to prove I’m innocent. I can go on about more events that gave me HUGE red flags about kathleen during this process but it’s not worth taking too much out of my time. Lastly, She insisted this was a great result and I should be happy. Happy about what?! I’m a mother of two that can no longer provide for my kids now because I had to admit that I did harm on a person that I actually didn’t do so now I can’t get a job with that ridiculous charge on my record. She practically defended the petitioner instead of me, if anything. I definitely left the office, extremely disappointed and infuriated, most of all with regret. If you have a restraining order held against you, go somewhere else because she’s just going to tell you to take the charge and move on with your life.
