Testimonials
"Kathleen helped me with Worker's Compensation and Social Security cases. Two cases in which I did not think I would win after a 4 year battle, but Kathleen Never gave up! and we won them both. She is very knowledgable, caring and really listens to your concerns, and she takes that into the court when she is battling for you. Her staff in the office is just as knowledgable about her cases, and can answer your questions or gets an answer from Kathleen and gets right back to you. I highly recommend Kathleen to all my friends and family."
"Over the course of the last 6 years, I've had nothing but the most positive experiences with Kathleen Dotoli. I retained her for a workers' compensation matter, and though it was a complex case, Kathy did an outstanding job in a timely manner. I found her to be very effective and she achieved excellent results. Kathleen is also very involved in community matters and has volunteered as a regular speaker at our Dream Homes Rebuilding Seminar. Her presentation about the numerous ways consumers can protect themselves from fraud has been very effective and helped hundreds of people over the last 4 years. Throughout my association with Kathleen Dotoli, I've found her to be caring, intelligent and extremely competent in the fields of worker's compensation as well as disability law. Kathy has my highest recommendation."
"Kathleen is truly dedicated to her profession and the clients that she has helped over the years. Extremely knowledgeable with a caring approach that puts her clients at ease, making her, in my opinion the person you need to speak to for all your Social Security benefits and workmans compensation needs. Five star service with a personal touch."

"When I first tore my rotator culf I asked my neighbor if he knew a good Lawyer to represent me. He told me to get a hold of Kathleen Dotoli and gave me her number. I have to say it could not have worked out any better. Kathleen did a fantastic job for me, not once but twice as I reinjured the same shoulder in the same fashion. I can't say enough grate things about her and the people in her firm.
Just so you know, Ms Dotoli helps lecture the public and her colleagues on Workmans compensation as well as serving as the co-chair of the Ocean County Bar Association Workers Compensation Executive Comittee. You won't find a better Lawyer in her field of expertise.
Sincerely,
Andrew"
"Kathleen Dotoli is an amazing attorney that specializes in workers compensation and social security. I have had the privilege to hear Kathleen speak at various engagements. She is also really knowledgeable in the supporting professions in order to represent her clients to the best of her ability. I highly recommend Kathleen."
"The best Lawyer in Tom's RIver that cares about you and not the money in your most troubled times. I highly recommend Kathleen Dotoli"
"My husband and I went to see Ms Dotoli for help with a complicated social security case. While she didn't feel she was the right person to handle it, she spent over an hour with us going over details, complicated paper work, and making phone calls trying to put us in touch with the right people and on the correct path. She possesses a wealth of knowledge, is warm and cordial, and gave us all the time we needed despite busy phones in an obviously busy office. We left feeling much calmer and much more informed. She also refused to take payment for her time as she did not take the case!! Certainly if you are in need of an attorney in her field of expertise there is no reason to go elsewhere."
"Kathy Dotoli is a great lawyer. She was able to make me see things in a positive view when I felt I was sinking. When I got injured I had no idea what was in store for me. She was able to get workmen comp for me quickly so I was able to keep up with my bills. She was there every step of the way with a smile on her face. I felt that she was more of a friend than my lawyer."
"Having known Kathleen for close to three years now I can honestly say this woman truly cares about her clients. She is well versed in Wormans Compensation and Social Security benefits. Before you do anything, please talk to Kathleen."
"Although I have never been represented by Kathleen, I have listened to her speak on Workman's Comp matters in several forums. Her expertise and passion in this field was clearly evident, and I would hire her immediately, if the need arises."
"I met Kathy through my networking group. I have not personally needed her services, but I've referred her to several people....something I don't freely do unless I believe great service and knowledge will be provided. The feedback I've gotten back from my friends is above average. Kathy has been very helpful and handled all 3 with honesty and compassion in a very professional manner. I will continue to refer Kathy to my friends and family."
"Kathleen is upfront, personable, and passionate; she will take the time to explain things in terms you can understand. She will be there to walk you through the process and always return your calls and or emails."
"After getting hurt at work, and dealing with a hostile system and incompetent lawyers (looking at you, Levinson & Axelrod), I had the great good fortune to stumble into Kathy Dotoli's office. I was treated with compassion and empathy all the way through the process. Kathy is representing me in my fight for worker's compensation, and for social security disability. We just had the hearing with a judge via telecom, and I was so impressed with the job Kathy did. Her complete familiarity with every detail of my case meant a lot to me, and clearly impressed the judge, as well. At the conclusion of our hearing, His Honor made a point of complimenting Kathy for her thoroughness and excellence... you can imagine how great that was for me, her client, to hear! If you're looking for an attorney to help you get through this horrendous process, talk to Kathy. Getting Kathy's help was seriously the best thing that's happened to me since my nightmare began, and I hope that others who are hurting, like I am, will read this and get themselves a truly great attorney."

- 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

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.

- 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

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
