Client Testimonials
“John Dougherty successfully represented me and my family in a major, potentially life-altering dispute involving a multimillion dollar real estate sale and purchase which “went south.”
To summarize, my family became involved in a dispute, involving my family as purchasers, and two other parties – the seller, as well as a third party who was disputing the sale.
The dispute called for immediate action. Within days after contacting John, John accurately diagnosed the issues, and John drafted, filed and served a very detailed complaint and lis pendes which served to immediately halt transfer of the property between the seller and the third party.
John skillfully guided us through this difficult matter. His vast experience showed. His investigation helped develop supporting facts which ultimately led to a successful result. Among other things, his research skills and knowledge regarding Colorado real estate law and other areas of law, including bankruptcy, contract disputes, led to a very successful settlement whereby my family benefited by obtaining title to the disputed property, at the original purchase price and received the benefit of substantial price appreciation of the property. His contacts and work with necessary experts helped carry the day.
I would unhesitatingly recommend John’s legal services to any client involved in a real estate or business dispute.”

“My opinion of John Dougherty’s legal talents will be prejudiced by my long acquaintance with him through mutual friends and community organizations. I knew him as an admired friend and confidant long before two calls for his help as an attorney.
The first was frantic middle of the night call asking John for assistance with a tragic event involving my falsely accused son. I ended up putting him on the phone with a Denver homicide detective that night. No charges were ever filed. John made a lot of calls to connections unavailable to me in the following days to help us defuse that situation. His calm counsel around that bizarre event was invaluable to my family’s peace of mind.
The second time I hired John I asked him to review and advise me on a lease that I should have gone over with him before I signed it. John’s research on that and his patient advice on options and potential outcomes resulted in the best possible resolution to that problem too.
John’s integrity is unimpeachable. He’s not a shoot from the hip sort of guy. He’s all about research and reason. He has a deep pool of experienced colleagues as well.
Five stars for John for his honesty, compassion and persistent follow up.”

“I am writing this letter to recommend to any person to hire John B. Dougherty. John obtained a settlement for me regarding injuries I had sustained. My case was quite difficult, and I had already been to other attorneys prior to meeting with John, who had told me that they would not take the case because it was too difficult and the likelihood of me getting money was too uncertain. John’s efforts resulted in my being able to pay my medical bills, and receive some additional money for the injuries, losses and inconvenience I had suffered.
John personally saw to it that all deadlines and communications with the insurance companies were fulfilled and followed up on. I think highly of John and would not hesitate for one minute in recommending John to other people.”
Wallace C.
“I was very, very pleased with the service I received during my representation by John Dougherty. Mr. Dougherty represented me in a timely manner and obtained a very satisfactory settlement in my case. He was always very professional, and I highly recommend this law office.”
Diane G.
“Please permit me to enthusiastically endorse the utilization of John B. Dougherty, Esq. to anyone needing legal counsel.
By way of background, when I first met Mr. Dougherty, I founded a small telecommunications company. Mr. Dougherty was instrumental in assisting me in various aspects of getting the company off the ground and building it to a point where it was self-sufficient, with approximately 70 to 75 employees. I was Vice President of the company, in charge of day-to-day operations.
We utilized Mr. Dougherty’s services in review of contracts, employment matters, collection of delinquent accounts, and other transactional and litigation matters. We found his services to be timely. We felt he handled these matters with the utmost of care and integrity.
Due primarily to market conditions, our company began to experience financial difficulties. Mr. Dougherty, through his efforts, helped extend the life of the company in such a fashion that we could minimize our losses. While this scenario was by no means easy, it would have been much more difficult, costly and aggravating without the help of Mr. Dougherty.
I have found Mr. Dougherty to be an extremely knowledgeable, concerned and helpful part of our business. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in need of legal services.”
Orville W.
“John Dougherty represented me in two legal matters.
In the first legal matter, I had first gone to another attorney. I learned of Mr. Dougherty’s experience through a friend and fellow worker. I ended up deciding to change attorneys. Mr. Dougherty brought my case to a swift conclusion, in a manner most favorable to me, when my previous attorney had told me that it was very unlikely such a good result would be achieved. While John is always cautious about what he promises his clients, and cannot guarantee any specific results, in my case, he worked extremely hard to achieve a good result for me.
After getting to know John and his track record firsthand, later when a need for legal services arose again, John was able to assist me. I was involved in a dispute with my disability insurance carrier. John was able to refer me to specific doctors with the expertise necessary to properly document my claim. Additionally, the physicians I went to were able to help me, at least somewhat in combating my chronic health problems and injuries.
Once again, through his diligence and aggressiveness, John was able to bring this matter to a conclusion in a prompt and professional manner.
I believe I can call on John about any type of legal problem I have. I will continue to do so in the future and would encourage anyone else to do the same.”
Dave L.
“I am writing to enthusiastically recommend John B. Dougherty. John helped me in a difficult personal injury case. He was very professional, diligent and helpful in guiding me through a difficult time in my life. I would have no hesitation in referring John Dougherty to any other clients”
Veronica N.
“John B. Dougherty represented me in an action against the driver of a vehicle in which I was injured. The case was complicated by a very difficult insurance carrier, and the fact that I had forgotten to wear my seat belt at the time. John’s office worked diligently to overcome these barriers and obtain a successful resolution of the matter for me. I would not hesitate to recommend John to anyone who needs assistance in any legal matter.”
Kris S.
“I have hired Mr. John Dougherty to represent me regarding injuries and losses sustained in an automobile accident of February 23, 1997. Mr. Dougherty and his office handled my claim in an efficient, professional manner and obtained an excellent result for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Dougherty to anyone who needs legal services, and particularly anyone who has injuries from an automobile accident. My case involved several complications, including the contention of the opposing insurance company that my injuries were not totally caused by the accident in question. By his thorough and patient documentation, working with my doctors, Mr. Dougherty was able to persuade the insurance company to settle the case on terms very favorable to me.
I am happy to write this recommendation on his behalf.”
Kathy S.
“John B. Dougherty represented me regarding significant injuries and losses I had sustained because of an automobile collision. The automobile collision was, by far, one of the most difficult and traumatic experiences I have had in my life. I was severely injured and ended up needing major surgery. To say that my life was significantly affected by this injury would be a great understatement.
It was sometimes quite difficult to “convince” my own insurance company to pay for bills, even though it seemed obvious to me that the bills should be paid, as they resulted from my auto accident injuries. John provided us with a good deal of assistance with our own insurance company in coordinating with our doctors and convincing our own insurance carrier that it must pay these bills. This was most important because it allowed me to get the treatment which I desperately needed to help myself become healthy and return to an active and somewhat more normal life.
Regarding the other driver’s insurance carrier, John settled our claim for a substantial amount of money, in a relatively short amount of time. The money was used to help get us back on course and had John and his office not made the extensive efforts they did, we would likely never have received as much money, or received it as soon as we did.
I would heartily encourage anyone to hire John Dougherty as his or her attorney.”
Leslie P.
“My name is Donald D., and Mr. John B. Dougherty represented me for claims in an automobile accident.
Mr. Dougherty and his office provided me with valuable assistance in handling my case. He instructed me in how to approach various doctors and insurance companies to obtain the full amount of my benefits due under law. He and his staff were very helpful in assisting me in a difficult claim. My claim was made more complicated by the fact that I had had previous injuries which the insurance company was using to try to reduce or minimize the amount of my claim. The claim was handled in an expedited manner, and the result reached was excellent.
Mr. Dougherty and his staff did an excellent job in minimizing the costs of my case and kept me informed at all important times throughout the case. I would recommend hiring him as an attorney in any personal injury or auto accident case.”
Don D.
“John B. Dougherty represented me on various matters regarding a serious automobile accident in which I was injured. His office was able to assist me in many ways, including but not limited to, negotiating a very favorable settlement with the other driver’s insurance company. Later, I became involved in a dispute with my own Insurance company regarding payment of my medical bills from the accident. John helped and ultimately ended up taking my case to court, where we were successful in requiring my insurance carrier to pay these bills. The amount of money at stake was significant, although not huge, and it was greatly appreciated that John took many long hours to help rectify this situation for me. I think highly of John and would recommend him to anyone needing services in a personal injury case.
I have had other legal problems as well that John has assisted me with on more than one occasion.”
Kelly G.
“John’s reputation says it all: he is experienced, thorough, honest and fair. He gives an accurate assessment of one’s case before there is an investment of time or money but when his skills are needed to protect his client’s interests he is efficient, prompt and attentive. His experience and depth of knowledge give him a distinct edge over his competition. John is trustworthy and kind, with the rare ability to explain legalese in plain English. I highly recommend and endorse John Dougherty without hesitation.”
Jeni M.
“John was exceptional. He was respectful, diligent and had excellent follow thru. I would recommend John as someone who truly cares to do his very best for the client. John is a very knowledgeable, thorough and respectful attorney who is adept at leadership, guidance and support.”
Christina K.
“John was extremely knowledgeable and treated me with respect and dignity the entire way through. I felt extremely comfortable knowing that he would keep me in touch every step of the way. My experience was great. I thank John so much for taking on my case and doing exactly what he said he was going to do the entire way through. I trusted him from day one and continued to trust his expertise every step of the way. John fulfilled every obligation he made to me and went above and beyond doing so. I will continue to recommend John to my associates when in need of a knowledgeable and honest attorney. I was pleasantly surprised that he was able to settle my case in such a timely manner. Thanks John!”
Justin R.
“John gave me an honest assessment of my case and let me decide how to proceed. He kept me informed at all times and was respectful of my decisions based upon his advice. I have known and worked with many attorneys but John is my choice for honest and reliable legal opinions. John can put legalese into plain English and has the experience to know how to pursue a matter economically and quickly.”
Jeanette M.
“John was fantastic! I could not have asked for someone more caring about me and my case. I always felt like he was fighting for me and finding the best answers. He kept me informed when there was new related information. I felt like I was a member of his family that he was fighting for. I couldn’t ask for more! Thank you. Like being a member of his family. He will go above and beyond to help you and constantly communicate with you. I can’t recommend him enough. John went above and beyond to help me. I could not be more appreciative of his services!”
Charissa P.
“John was incredibly helpful. If he was not immediately available he returned my calls promptly. He made me feel like I was his only client. He was a bright spot during some dark circumstances. I would recommend John very highly, I received great advice and service from him. I will definitely contact him again if I have future legal needs!”
Jerry S.
“My husband and I turned to John when we were victims of home remodeling problems, which ultimately resulted in the threat of a mechanic’s lien being filed against our residence. John successfully and efficiently protected our home, resolving the matter to our complete satisfaction.”
Jane R.
“I handed John a very difficult and quite complex foreclosure problem concerning my elderly mother’s home. The problem had originated years before we contacted John, and involved two lawsuits and numerous other legal complications. John attacked the problem head-on. Long story short, not only was my mother able to remain in her home but she was able to obtain a very workable solution to an extremely difficult complex problem involving multiple lenders, investors, and other parties. Through his perseverance and tenacity, John resolved this matter favorably for our family. I highly recommend his services to anyone.”
Wil T.
“‘Impeccable integrity’ are the two best words I can use to describe John’s character. I have known John for 18 years, and was privileged to work with him for five years on the board of a local non-profit organization (he was in the role of board president). I was particularly impressed with the care he demonstrated in every situation, being diplomatic, responsive and thorough – whether in reviewing/writing contracts, consulting on legal, logistics and personnel issues or prioritizing requirements. John can show also his huge heart, and is quick with a joke (often self-directed) to keep everyone at ease. As a leader and friend, John has earned my highest recommendation.”
Cindy K.
“I have known John as my attorney for over 10 years.
John’s representation started when my long term disability benefits were not being paid by my employer’s insurance carrier. John and his staff rolled up their sleeves and put together very impressive documentation of my illness and rights under my policy and Colorado law to recover what had been justly promised to me. John is very knowledgeable about the law, and persisted in efforts on my behalf, until he succeed in making my insurance carrier pay these benefits. In addition to providing extensive documentation in a strong and persuasive format, John also appeared with me during interviews from the adjuster at my long term disability carrier. Additionally, John assisted me in obtaining Social Security Disability benefits.
Almost every year since we won the initial battle, in one form or another, John has assisted me when my benefits were challenged on a seemingly an annual basis. I know I can count on John to continue his efforts on my behalf.
I would strongly and without hesitation recommend John’s as an attorney to anyone. He is honest, fair and diligent”
Nancy C.
“John helped me and got me an excellent resolution to a personal injury case. John handles all the details and got all my bills paid. I would recommend him to anyone who has any type of personal injury”
Cress H.
“John very patiently helped me sort out a pretty complicated auto accident matter for me. He was patient, available, and worked hard to give me the answers I was looking for. I would recommend him to anyone bringing an auto accident claim.”
Olivia H.
“John’s help was instrumental in sorting out and resolving a multiparty real estate dispute. John was very conscientious and always available to ask questions and to guide me through the process. I would recommend him highly to anyone with a real estate problem.”
Maria C.
“John is a thorough, thoughtful and skilled attorney who really cares about his clients. His experience shows in the way he deals with everyone in each case from the client, the client’s family to court and opposing counsel. John is professional and trustworthy; traits sorely needed in today’s complex legal field.”
Nancy H.
“John’s reputation says it all: he is experienced, thorough, honest and fair. His clients know he will give them an accurate assessment of their case before they invest time and money but when his skills are needed to protect a client’s interests he is efficient and prompt. John is trustworthy and kind, with the rare ability to explain legalese in plain English. As a paralegal, I have worked alongside John many times over the years and I highly recommend him and endorse him without hesitation.”
Jeanette R.
“John successfully defended us against the protection orders being made permanent, which, among other things, would have required us to sell our house and move and resulted in the loss of my husband’s security clearance and likely his job with the Federal Government. Without John’s professional abilities, we would have lost everything. John also successfully petitioned the Court for our attorney’s fees. We are grateful to John for prevailing on our behalf.”
Donna F.
“Almost a year ago, I was faced with a garnishment that depleted $1684.00 from a savings account. A creditor had filed a judgment against me that I was unaware of because it was served at a previous address where I no longer lived and given to the homeowner. Since I didn’t know about the judgment and didn’t have an opportunity to address it during the required time frame, a garnishment was issued. Needless to say, the loss caused my mortgage payment and otherfinancial obligations to be missed. Fortunately, my mortgage company was willing to work with me after I explained the situation and allowed me to enter into a repayment plan. John took over my case after I was referred to him by another attorney. He addressed the situation by filing several motions with the court and ultimately got the garnishment against me reversed and after a month was able to get the money that was taken re-deposited back into my savings account. It was an immense relief and I can’t say enough about John’s outstanding expertise and diligence and keeping me updated throughout the whole ordeal. I was and still am very grateful that he was able to obtain a quick resolution on this case.”
Stella T.
“John represented me in a dispute with a creditor. He was able to promptly negotiate a settlement for me on favorable terms that I could live with, and kept me from having to take more drastic action to rectify the problem. Almost nine months after John’s work was completed, the creditor made an additional, unlawful effort to collect the debt I had finished paying – John came to the rescue. He returned my call within hours and had the problem completely straightened out by the next business day. I would highly recommend John’s legal services to anyone!”
Robin E.
“I recently retained John to advise me regarding my rights concerning a foreclosure and eviction action brought against me, and my rights under law. My situation was very complicated, and I did not seek John’s advice until late in the process. At all times, John was extremely kind, responsive and knowledgeable concerning my situation. John’s follow-up was prompt and meticulous. He went to great lengths to explain the process and all options available to me, and ultimately assisted me in choosing the bet path. I would certainly retain John again to advise me regarding any legal problem I might have, and would, without reservation, recommend his services to anyone I know.”
Chequita P.
“John’s advice regarding a dispute with one of my creditors was excellent – I really appreciated his work.”
Tom G.
“I was referred to John from a mutual friend who highly recommended his ability as a seasoned lawyer. In my lifetime, I have had experiences with other attorneys, which usually resulted in disappointment and feelings of frustration and as a result I felt as if I was not a priority. My experience working with John was the polar opposite. He implemented an open door policy where I was able to contact him by email, text, phone or meet in person. He worked diligently on my charges and covered every possible detail and outcome. Through his hard work, he was able to negotiate with the DA and the Judge for the best outcome I could have had. Without John’s expertise my legal ramifications would have been devastating. Personally, I am extremely impressed with John’s professionalism, character and his tenacity for defending his client (myself) within the confines of the law. John has my total respect and future referrals to persons who are in need of an attorney that possess all the qualities that clients want and need from a lawyer to represent them with integrity and respect.”
