Mr. Sparks is the most awsome lawyer you can ever hire!! He was able to settle my personal injury case with ease and set up a structured settlement on my daughters behalf which will accumulate 10,000 extra dollars towrads her settlement portion by the time she is 18. This was at no extra cost to me or my daughter and he handled it perosnally. Doug really cares about his clients by showing compassion and empathy and does everything in his power to get the maximum amount of money for his clients. I would definitely recommend Douglas Sparks to anyone!!
I was rear-ended by a pickup truck and suffered serious back and neck injuries. Unfortunately, the driver that hit me had a relatively low liability insurance policy. But Mr. Sparks got that insurance company to settle for the driver’s maximum limits. Then, he got my insurance company to pay a lot more because I had a much higher underinsured policy coverage limit. I was very happy with the final outcome. My family and I suffered a lot in the accident’s aftermath, and Mr. Sparks stood by me every step of the way. He is an incredibly detailed, skilled and accessible lawyer … and a really good human being too.
Just speaking with Mr. Sparks will restore your confidence in humanity and what a real attorney should be. THANK YOU!! Mr. Sparks took the time to make our situation a priority, we got emails and phone calls right away, he is available when you need him!! He is extremely professional and takes his role very seriously and can be trusted to the utmost degree. He does not make you feel like you are a hassle for asking questions or that you are just a paycheck like many, many others we spoke to. I would recommend Mr. Sparks to anyone that has even the slightest doubt that they may need representation, there is no one I would want or trust more to have in my corner.
Mr. Sparks is by far the best lawyer I have ever met. Lawyers are easy to find, but finding one who is smart, honest, thorough, and truly cares about people is very difficult. Every member of my family has trusted him for over twenty years, and he has never let us down. Mr.Sparks is REAL and passionate about helping others. He was recently selected 2015 "Super Lawyers" five year in a row !
Doug Sparks is a one in a million lawyer. After my only son died in 2011 because of poor medical care, a well-known lawyer represented my family in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against my son’s doctors and a D.C. hospital. Shortly before trial in 2014, our lawyer withdrew because we wouldn’t settle for an amount my family thought was too low. We became frantic because we were faced with going to trial without a lawyer. When I called Doug Sparks after calling so many lawyers, he was the only one that stepped up and helped after all we had gone through. We will forever be grateful to Doug and you will be too if you call him. Doug fights for you like he's fighting for his own family. He is smart and intelligent. You don't have to think twice about questioning his judgment because he is completely trustworthy. My family will always refer our friends and relatives to him. Thank you for everything Doug. We love you!
I had a personal injury case that many other lawyers would not even have taken as I had had been given a jaywalking ticket after being struck by a car. Doug Sparks was introduced to me by a friend, also a lawyer, and he took the case and with all its vulnerabilities negotiated a generous settlement with the other party's insurance company. He helped me find appropriate medical care without pushing for anyone. He has a long experience with similar cases and his knowledge of the medical issues was extremely helpful in my case. He followed closely the progress in my recovery and made useful suggestions as to what to discuss with my doctor, what kind of questions to ask etc. I interacted with Doug only by phone and email until the very last stage. I found this to be a very effective way to get things done without having to spend time going to and from his office. He emailed any relevant documents to me immediately when he got them and was very proactive in keeping me informed of developments and requesting information. He often got back to me after hours or even on weekends. I have never worked with personal injury lawyers before, so don't have a point of comparison, but I have been very happy with Doug's knowledge and assistance as well as of course the actual settlement outcome.
Doug Sparks, or “Super Attorney” as I refer to him, has been my trusted lawyer, legal advisor, and friend for over 20 years. I have dealt with several lawyers in my lifetime, and none is better. It is truly rare to find an attorney who is out solely for YOUR best interest. But this is Doug. I have worked with him on three big cases, and we won every time. This man has never let me down. Most recently, I struggled financially, mentally, and emotionally for almost a year because of false felony charges brought by an arrogant and dangerous prosecutor against me and my wife. Doug helped us take back our lives. He spent day and night committed to our case and our overall well-being. He sat with me many times to answer questions at each step. He was always responsive. Doug’s compassion and confidence gave us strength to fight through this nightmare. I was floored by the sheer amount of evidence Doug compiled and analyzed. He had impeccable attention to detail and was more organized than the prosecutor or even the judge. It was truly amazing. In the courtroom, Doug dominated. He is extremely knowledgeable, skillful, and an expert in what he does. It comes natural to him. Our four day trial ended with the judge belittling the prosecutor for bringing the charges in the first place. The case didn’t even go to the jury. In the middle of trial, the judge granted a motion for acquittal. I will forever thank Doug for fighting for my family to be together, for our freedom, and for bringing life back to normal. I 100% recommend Doug Sparks and always have done so. No lawyer is more perseverant or works harder.
After interviews with many other lawyers, Mr. sparks was the only one that was symphathetic and had the most legal knowledge of the function or should I say the non-function of the Department Of Corrections, in the District of Columbia. He was there for me during the most darkest days of my legal struggles with the District of Columbia Correctional System. He was never reluctant to confront those involved in my case; from the Mayor ,to the City Council, to the Head of Corrections. He worked with me and for me to establish new Laws and bring to focus things that were never put in place that should have been. He helped me to help others so that they would not have to face the challenges and personal pain that I did.. Thru his legal knowlege and help, I was able to see a brighter day ,mentally physically and financially.I thank God every day for sending Mr. Sparks into my life, and for fighting for the Civil Rights of my Son,
I met Douglas Sparks at likely the most vulnerable time in my life. I had been assaulted by a man who broke into my building. The building management had been aware of numerous security issues, but hadn't informed the tenants. Doug immediately made me and my family feel confident that we were in good hands, and that, even after a harrowing experience like that one, we could count on him to fight for us and, by extension, the rights of all the tenants in our building. He came prepared, as he always does, and his work, even before we'd met, spoke for itself. Our case was very successful thanks to Doug's hard work and care. His attention to every detail was superb, and he left no corner of the case undiscovered. Through the process of the case, we had so much to manage -- emotionally, mentally, and professionally. Moving forward in a healthy way often seemed impossible. But Doug and his excellent team allowed me to place my focus where it was required -- to the healing process -- instead of the process of the case. Of course, he spent time answering my questions, no matter how trivial. He prepared me for the case, informed me of my options, but didn't burden me with too much information. I recommend Doug without hesitation and with great enthusiasm. He knows the avenues to success and doesn't shy from using them for the good of his clients. He has a directness and savvy that you want on your side. His expertise makes a level playing field out of what often seems like an unfair and drawn-out system. And he is a kind, compassionate person -- which, above all else, is why his clients trust him, and have faith in him, long after their cases are done. Hire Doug Sparks. You'll be happy you did.
I was annoyed with the first lawyer for my automobile accident case. When it looked like the case would go to court, he gave up. Fortunately, he handed me Douglas Sparks’ name and phone number. I am from a modest Latino family, and was afraid that Mr. Sparks would also turn down my case. What a surprise, after meeting Doug I felt confident and welcome. He had a great attitude towards me and explained all the details of the court process. Even though he made no promises of winning, I was convinced he would fight all the way for me. I was impressed by his work and perseverance. Doug actually had an investigator meet me at the scene of the accident at 6:30 a.m. (exact accident time) and video light sequences at the intersection. After going to court all the way through the pre trial, the insurance company finally offered a generous settlement. Doug wouldn’t settle earlier for an amount he thought wasn’t fair. I was impressed by Doug’s intelligence, fast thinking, and attention to every detail. . I always refer friends and family to him when they need a lawyer.

He was there for me during the most darkest days of my legal struggles with the District of Columbia Correctional System. He was never reluctant to confront those involved in my case; from the Mayor ,to the City Council, to the Head of Corrections. He worked with me and for me to establish new Laws and bring to focus things that were never put in place that should have been. He helped me to help others so that they would not have to face the challenges and personal pain that I did.. Thru his legal knowlege and help, I was able to see a brighter day ,mentally physically and financially.I thank God every day for sending Mr. Sparks into my life, and for fighting for the Civil Rights of my Son,
I met Douglas Sparks at likely the most vulnerable time in my life. I had been assaulted by a man who broke into my building. The building management had been aware of numerous security issues, but hadn't informed the tenants. Doug immediately made me and my family feel confident that we were in good hands, and that, even after a harrowing experience like that one, we could count on him to fight for us and, by extension, the rights of all the tenants in our building. He came prepared, as he always does, and his work, even before we'd met, spoke for itself. Our case was very successful thanks to Doug's hard work and care. His attention to every detail was superb, and he left no corner of the case undiscovered. Through the process of the case, we had so much to manage -- emotionally, mentally, and professionally. Moving forward in a healthy way often seemed impossible. But Doug and his excellent team allowed me to place my focus where it was required -- to the healing process -- instead of the process of the case. Of course, he spent time answering my questions, no matter how trivial. He prepared me for the case, informed me of my options, but didn't burden me with too much information. I recommend Doug without hesitation and with great enthusiasm. He knows the avenues to success and doesn't shy from using them for the good of his clients. He has a directness and savvy that you want on your side. His expertise makes a level playing field out of what often seems like an unfair and drawn-out system. And he is a kind, compassionate person -- which, above all else, is why his clients trust him, and have faith in him, long after their cases are done. Hire Doug Sparks. You'll be happy you did.
I was annoyed with the first lawyer for my automobile accident case. When it looked like the case would go to court, he gave up. Fortunately, he handed me Douglas Sparks’ name and phone number. I am from a modest Latino family, and was afraid that Mr. Sparks would also turn down my case. What a surprise, after meeting Doug I felt confident and welcome. He had a great attitude towards me and explained all the details of the court process. Even though he made no promises of winning, I was convinced he would fight all the way for me. I was impressed by his work and perseverance. Doug actually had an investigator meet me at the scene of the accident at 6:30 a.m. (exact accident time) and video light sequences at the intersection. After going to court all the way through the pre trial, the insurance company finally offered a generous settlement. Doug wouldn’t settle earlier for an amount he thought wasn’t fair. I was impressed by Doug’s intelligence, fast thinking, and attention to every detail. . I always refer friends and family to him when they need a lawyer.
