Francesca’s clients include people from all walks of life and socioeconomic backgrounds. She is one of the few family lawyers in New Jersey who takes high-end income/asset cases all the way to trial and is known in Bergen County for handling divorces of cops and teachers, as she is familiar with the unique circumstances of their finances, especially their pensions and retirement benefits. Along with high-end divorce cases, she handles contentious custody cases and has carved out a niche in handling divorces involving kids with special needs. She frequently lectures to other lawyers and judges in New Jersey and nationwide about divorces in which one or more children from the marriage have a special need. Francesca is board-certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a family lawyer. (Approximately 3% of New Jersey lawyers are board certified.) She is one of only approximately 45 New Jersey family lawyers who is admitted as a member of the National American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and currently serves as President of its New Jersey Chapter. She has lectured for the American Bar Association on family law and is a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, for whom she also frequently lectures.

This edition’s feature celebrated the leadership, accomplishments, and influence of outstanding female attorneys and paralegals across Bergen County. Francesca grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, in a family of lawyers, where she was one of five children. In the fall of 1997, Francesca flew to Los Angeles, California, where she began her undergraduate degree at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California. Though tempted by the climate to stay, she returned to the northeast and graduated with her Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Connecticut in 2004. That fall, she followed in her mother’s footsteps and started practicing family law in New Jersey. Firmly rooted in Bergen County, Francesca now lives in Hillsdale, New Jersey, with her husband and three children. She is always happy to share that her three children came to her through either adoption or infertility treatment. And her office is generously decorated with photos of them— mostly from their pre-teen years! The challenges of building her own family and being a child of a second marriage have given her the belief that coming through difficult times can lead to wonderful new beginnings. She is available for an in-person or virtual consultation to discuss the best divorce options for you and your family.

Domhnall (Donny) Ó’Catháin is a New Jersey trial lawyer. He has helped his clients secure tens of millions of dollars for the injuries and economic losses they have suffered from the negligence of corporations and careless people. Donny litigates personal injury cases in state court and in federal court. So far in 2024, Donny won settlements for clients such as $170,000 for an uber crash; $300,000 for rear end car crash with surgery; $375,000 for trip and fall on stairs; and $875,000 for leg and ankle fractures caused by a negligent forklift driver. In 2017, his clients (a wife and her husband) won the largest dental malpractice jury verdict in New Jersey in a case where the defendant refused to make any offers. In 2019, his client won a $1.2 million dollar jury verdict in a case where the bus company’s final offer was $200,000. During the pandemic, he tried four virtual jury trials. Three of those cases resulted in verdicts for his clients that were more than twice the final offer by the defense. In the fourth case, the defense moved from a never-pay position to a six-figure settlement before closing statements. He has many seven figure settlements in trucking crash cases and medical malpractice cases. Most of those cases settled shortly before trial. Firms throughout the tristate area refer cases to him and other New Jersey plaintiff firms bring him in as trial counsel when a case cannot be settled. Many clients have come to him because he has been recommended by lawyers who have gone against him. Donny considers this to be a privilege and is honored to pay referring attorneys a referral fee pursuant to the New Jersey Rules of Court. Donny was born and raised in Ballincollig, Co. Cork, Ireland. He has lived in New Jersey since 2004. He and his wife – and law partner – Francesca O’Cathain, reside in Hillsdale with their three children, their dog, and whatever other dog(s) their children have smuggled into the house. When he is not with his family or at his desk, he is probably just thinking about cross-examining his next defense witness.
