Michael Daugherty, J.D., LL.M.

I would like to give Mr Daugherty an excellent review. He represented my wife and I in a case involving a family member wishing to impose visitation rights for our children. He was timely, professional, and took the time to understand our concerns. He proved extremely well versed in the areas of family law, was able to translate the “legalese” to layman’s terms and had our interests at heart. As a result, we were able to come to a settlement without hitting our actual court date. While it is true the opposing party dropped their case, once we took notice of the work Mr Daugherty work behind the scenes, we believe the quick resolution was due to the efforts of Michael and his team. Thank you, kind Sir, for everything!

I cannot recommend Michael C. Daugherty highly enough. Michael represented me in a family law matter and delivered an outstanding outcome. His professionalism and direct approach were truly impressive. Michael is a straight shooter who managed my expectations perfectly throughout the entire process. He communicated effectively and always put my interests first, steering clear of unnecessary paths. His dedication and client-first mentality made all the difference. If you need a top-notch attorney, Michael is the one to trust.

We used Mike for our estate planning. He wrote a will, Durable Power of Attorney, and an Advance Medical Directive for my husband and I and our adult children, who are away in college. He completed the documents in record time, answered all of my questions, and gave me peace of mind. We will definitely use Mike again for any future needs.

Mr. Daugherty knows the law and paid attention to every detail surrounding my case. His effective litigation skills were apparent and backed by law to support my interests and protect my rights. On the first day of the trial, the judge postponed immediately after Mr. Daugherty’s opening statement (which included a pretrial motion to exclude the opposing parties witness list because they did not follow legal protocols in revealing what they would testify to in the discovery). Eventually, the opposing party agreed to a fair and equitable settlement, the trial was dismissed, and I saved a lot of time and money. Mr. Daugherty is an excellent attorney with a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience in his legal field(s). He was honest, direct, and effective in all areas surrounding my case and I am so appreciative to have had his level of commitment and professional representation. I highly recommend his services and wouldn’t hesitate to have him represent me again if needed.

I had the honor of Mike representing me for my child custody/visitation case and if I had to do it all over again, I’d still choose Mike! Very responsive! Very knowledgeable and passionate and it reflects in the quality of his work ! Mike is a no nonsense kind of guy that executes a clean delivery in the courtroom EVERY TIME! Thank you Mike for making me and my child’s life better !

I highly recommend Michael Daugherty. He has represented me in family legal matters. He listens and provides sound advice in terms I understand. He is very responsive whenever I have had questions and is very trustworthy.

I live in Northern Virginia and hired Michael Daugherty to handle a complicated custody modification after reading the excellent reviews posted online. I was not disappointed! Mike was with us through the entire process from emergency hearing to trial getting me the best results!!! Mike was not only very knowledgeable about the law, he was also good at calming people’s nerves which eased the court experience for everyone. Mike is also very responsive and honest. If you are looking for a professional lawyer who is skilled, experienced and knowledgeable about the processes of the court, I recommend hiring Mike to handle your case!

"Michael Daugherty was a beacon of hope to me at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. When things did not look well at first, Michael changed tactics and came up a new approach. He added Justin Daniels to the team and provided me update news, information and always kept in the loop. Not only were they able to defend me from an unjust accusation, Michael's and Justin's calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My family and I are eternally grateful for Michael's and Justin Daniels service and I hereby recommend The Daugherty Law Firm without reservation."

Mike is a "one stop fits all" attorney!! Exceptional service, responsive, value and attention. The one attorney everyone needs!

Very professional and responsive
