Client Testimonials

"...She delivers. She does what needs to be done to get you to your goals…one of the best communicators I have ever worked with."

I love Mary.  She has been the most incredible partner to me and to our organization over the past two years and I would recommend her to anyone!  She has also been recommended to me by colleagues I deeply respect and admire in the field.  She delivers. She does what needs to be done to get you to your goals and stands alongside you at every step. She is one of the best communicators I have ever worked with and has a great ability to be big picture, communicate difficult challenging content in a relatable way and know the deep detail of the law. In one conversation she could site a law, translate what it means and offer to write something I could provide to our CEO or Board in writing or live.  We have worked with her on our merger with another NGO, a very difficult high risk employee law case as well as an EDD intercept we experienced due to an unrecorded name change issue and I am about to retain her on two additional projects. She is reasonable, responsive and really delightful to work with.

"...She’s an invaluable resource to our non-profit."

I’ve enjoyed working closely with Mary and her team for several years. She’s an invaluable resource to our non-profit, and I am very grateful to be working with a law firm that is professional and knowledgeable.

Mary has demonstrated a deep understanding of the complex legal landscape in the non-profit sector, and she is able to provide insightful and strategic guidance to our organization. She is an excellent listener and communicator, and she is always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we have.

She is an exceptional attorney who is both professional and personable, and I admire her hard work in building such a great team at Tovella Dowling, PC.

"...Treated me with the utmost respect."

Everyone at Tovella Dowling has been professional, caring and treated me with the utmost respect. I will continue to refer them to my friends and family. Thank you I really appreciate you all.

"...I recommend Mary without reservation."

I had the pleasure of setting up our non-profit corporation with Mary Dowling. The templates and platforms that we used were very efficient and effective. I am now working with Mary on amending the bylaws of another non-profit and continue to reach out to her with questions that I encounter during our course of business. I recommend Mary without reservation to anyone wanting help and/or advice in the non-profit corporate law space.

"...her communication was timely, professional, and left no questions unanswered."

Mary was fantastic for our organization from consultation all the way through the formation of our nonprofit organization, including putting up with us through a name change. All of her communication was timely, professional, and left no questions unanswered. It was great to put our company in her hands. She is a huge part of making it go. We will continue to retain her legal services as long she’ll have us, and would recommend her highly to anyone looking to form a nonprofit. Best money spent!

"...Her dedication in helping our organization is beyond words.."

Mary is a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney. She is very reliable. She is in constant communication and always follows up to make sure the plan that was discussed is in motion and is completed. We are very lucky to have found Mary. Her dedication in helping our organization is beyond words. Her guidance and expertise is highly valued! Thank you Mary!

"...I highly recommend her."

I recently started a new Corporation and called Mary Dowling. She helped me set up my Corporation, is available when you have questions, and made the process extremely easy. I highly recommend her if you are setting up a new business. She is extremely kind and spoke with me by answering all of my questions before I even decided to go with her. She is excellent to work with and will help you get your needs met.

"...Mary is incredibly responsive, committed, and diligent in her counsel."

I am an entrepreneur who has founded a nonprofit, and three for-profit entities in the healthcare space since 2012. I have worked with Mary specifically on all three entities. Mary is incredibly responsive, committed, and diligent in her counsel not only up-front, but for all ongoing support also. Mary has created all the legal documentation for our nonprofit and helped us gain nonprofit status in a very expeditious time frame, drawn up operating agreements for two LLC’s, helped me move an LLC to a Corporation, and provided ongoing consultation for a variety of matters over the years. We have worked together for over 8 years and I will continue to do so with confidence. Would highly recommend her for any business related matter.
