Reviews
- Kathleen cared about me not only as a client but as a person. She put her arms around me more than once to comfort me during a very difficult time. Kathleen and her Assistant Allison were always responsive and led me through the process every step of the way. Thank you both so much- Cathy Semenza. 4/21/2020
- I had hired a attorney to take my case. Honestly he talked down to me and I felt intimidated by him. I had heard about Kathleen from a friend so I trusted my feelings and went to see her. We talked and she explained how everything was going to go. When I left her office I knew she was a honest compassionate attorney. So if you need to know anything about your case call her. You will get the settlement you deserve. You will also know that you have a person representing you that you can trust.- Donna Chick. 4/9/2020
- Kathleen Dotoli was helping my husband with his social security disability hearing due to his worsing health. He had suddenly passed away and she had reached out to me and was letting me know that she wants to fight for me to get his benfits. She was kind and helpful walking me through the process. I truly appreciated her standing by me in my difficult time and trying to help me win his case. I appreciate her professionalism and kindness that she showed me and I will highly recommend her to anyone who needs her services.- kholoud bayat. 3/26/2020

- Kathy took on my disability case and ensured me that she was going to fight for me to get what I deserved since I have had a lot of problems following a past workers comp injury. She was always so sweet, and always answered every question I had for her with no problem. She won my disability case and they back dated it all the way to the day that I got hurt. She is also reopening my worker's comp case since my injuries are getting worse and I know my case is in good hands with Kathy and I wouldn't trust anyone else with it.- Gina M. 2/13/2019

- It is my pleasure to highly recommend Kathleen M. Dotoli, Esq because of her fierce and uncompromising commitment to her clients. She is a force to be reckoned with. My first introduction cemented my impression that Kathleen was skilled and creatively talented in the Workers' Compensation & Social Security Disability arena.- David Leta. 9/18/2017
- My husband and I visited Ms Dotoli at her office to discuss a rather complicated social security case. While she didn't feel that she was the right attorney to handle this for us,she spent over an hour with us discussing the case, helping us with confusing paperwork, and making phone calls for us trying to point us in the right direction. She provided us with invaluable information that was extremely helpful, and we left feeling much calmer and more confident than when we had arrived. She is an extremely selfless and knowledgeable attorney, who greated us warmly and gave us all the time we needed despite ringing phones and an obviously busy office. To top it off, she refused payment!!! I cannot say enough about the experience we had or impression made by this attorney and if you should find yourself in need of her expertise do not hesitate. Impossible to find better anywhere.- Miriam Matalon. 4/11/2017
