Mr. Earl saved me from serious issues I was facing. He gave me a price and didn’t try to add other fees. I appreciate his honesty and dedication.

Mr. Earl was very informative and available to answer all of my questions. I felt really safe having him represent me. I have also recommended him to family and friends who need his services.

He cared so much about my case. He remembered details along the way that I had forgotten. He wants to win the case but it’s about what’s best for his client.

This is the best lawyer I’ve found in Philadelphia! I’ve been through a few, he cares about his clients and he wants what’s best for you. He is would you want standing next to you. Court gives me so much anxiety but with Mr. Earl I see most of the anxiety was because I didn’t have the right man standing with me.

Mr. Earl represented a family member charged with a 3rd DUI. He documented and presented to the court that my family member had made huge changes in his life with professional help and other organized help groups. He was given a VERY reasonable sentence due to Mr. Earls efforts.

I hired Douglas Earl a year ago for multiple cases I had, I paid him $8,000 CASH total. To start off, he missed deadline on paperwork that needed to be filed before court and when I asked him why he said “it went over his head”. When I asked him why it wasn’t done he told me he “didn’t feel like spending his Sunday arguing” and hung up on me not once but twice! Which is extremely unprofessional. With the same case, he also never filed additional paperwork “yet” because it “takes a lot of time”. When I asked him what he has done for me and my family he couldn’t even give me an answer! That’s because he did absolutely nothing! Anytime I had a question he would become very defensive and rude. Not to mention, he has me fill out and go to the courthouse MYSELF for any paperwork that had to be done. On another case, I had to personally call Doug myself to let him know what the outcome of the case was because it wasn’t from his help but all of the work I did! He was supposed to get video surveillance but failed to do so. I also hired him again to file other paperwork which he put through that was denied because of having an open case which he knew about and knew it would get denied but took $3,000 to file ONE piece of paperwork anyway knowing what would happen. I have given Doug multiple chances only for him to continuously let not only me but my family down. He refused to give me my money back even after he did NOT provide me the services I paid him for. When I went to his office he said I should be “ashamed” of myself for the way I spoke to him. I would absolutely not recommend Doug as a lawyer to anyone! He is the absolute WORST LAWYER I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE!! A COMPLETE SCAM!
