Great,efficient responsiveness and very knowledgeable. Never felt like Doug didn't have time for us, never felt rushed in a conversation. Very professional, very interested in how his client was doing and recovering. Doug understood how to navigate between agencies/businesses, put us at ease by taking over communications immediately so his client could focus on recovering. Doug did well in moving things along as much as possible. Will definetely recommend Doug to family/friends!!

Doug is a very good lawyer, if anyone ever asked me if I could recommend one. then this is your guy. He did things in the case that were amazing. The way he made my dad come alive and have total strangers know my dad was totally amazing. Even though my dad is gone, he finally had his justice, not only through us, but also through Doug. He truely goes that extra mile, sometimes when you think things weren't looking well, he put the icing in the cake. He truely is an amazing lawyer. Our family can never say enough about him. My father's justice finally came when the verdict came back.............Guilty, now someone was responsible for his outcome. Thank you so much Doug. May you have total success in all your endevors.
