About Us
We strive to provide quality and cost affective service to our clients.
Our law firm has its roots in the 1880's when William N. Reynolds, Sr., a civil war veteran and native of Wyoming County, Pa. began practicing law in Tunkhannock. When his son William H. Reynolds, Jr. joined the firm, they opened offices in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Robert J. Doran began studying law at the University of Pennsylvania, but his studies were interrupted when World War I began. He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant and assigned to the 109th Machine Gun Battalion and was seriously injured by a gas attack while fighting in France.
After his recovery, Robert J. Doran completed his studies and in 1926 was admitted to practice law in Luzerne County Pa. He joined the Reynolds firm and continued with Reynolds, Reynolds, & Doran until the early 1960s.
John H. Doran, a nephew of Robert J. Doran, joined the practice, and after his uncle's death, continued as a partner under successive names until he and his daughter Lisa M. Doran formed the present law firm of Doran & Doran, PC
