Dwayne was my second attorney during my divorce. I initially retained the Fathers' Rights attorney who is all over TV and radio in Chicagoland. Fathers' Rights don't exist. It's a marketing gimmick that preys on the higher wage earner which is usually the father. When I interviewed Dwayne, I was shocked at how polar opposite he was from the previous attorney. I did not like what I heard. My ideas on how the court system worked were fatally flawed. At the end of the case, his initial statements at the interview regarding the likely outcome of my divorce were accurate. No fairy tales from Dwayne and no empty promises. His courtroom demeanor is really good. During one of the pre-trials in chambers, other attorneys in the courtroom were even commenting about his tenacity. He didn't win every argument but he won most. My only criticism would be that he advised me to move out of the marital home as I was afraid of being arrested on false allegations of Domestic Violence. Never. Leave. The. Home. The only time you leave is upon court order. If you leave, you are telling the court that you find the other parent is who should have custody of the children. Simply have a digital recorder running 24/7 while living in the marital home with your adversary. He does not run up the bill like many other lawyers. He followed my directions unless I was requesting something that the court would never entertain. I was impressed with his ability to be managed by his client. Dwayne is one sharp dude and I will be using him again in the future should other issues pop up. If you want an attorney that won't rob you blind and is a litigator, hire him. Any attorney can negotiate but a litigator can win a trial for you. His ability to steer me away from rabbit holes and make convincing arguments to the court allowed me to secure 50/50 joint legal/physical custody and school placement from a stay at home mom.

My case was a difficult one and without Dwayne's knowledge and expertise I would not have won my case. He was very efficient, professional and always kept me up to date on my case. I would HIGHLY recommend Dwayne to anyone looking for legal services.

I really want to take the time to tell you how appreciative I am of my lawyer Dwayne Douglas and his team .He supported me and stood by me through a very difficult time. His expertise in the court room in the manner in which he articulated the facts with my case were amazing .His patients he and his team had for me in gathering and providing him information was very notable .Also his sense of confidence was very obvious and through this whole last year he operated with a guarantee from me that he would be paid when this case was over .His trust in my word was deeply consoling and in the end we negotiated my payment for a mutual settlement .As difficult of a time a divorce can be, he made it tolerable and he proved to me that there are still good and understanding and fair minded attorneys in his profession . I want to thank my attorney from my heart and wish him great success and peace throughout his career

Dwayne was my lawyer through my lengthy and complicated divorce, and I cannot express just how grateful I am for his amazing service. He was compassionate, thorough, realistic, creative, and a fierce advocate. Perhaps what I loved most was that every time we discussed how a potential situation would play out, he always described it from the perspective of being able to best care for my two little boys; it was evident that he cared about our well-being as a family, and that our priorities aligned. He clearly explained all matters and possible outcomes, and while he would fight for me along whatever route I chose, he was also realistic and helped me decide what was worth the effort and what likely wasn’t, which greatly saved on expenses. At the same time, on the most important matters, he went to bat for us and never backed down. I could tell he was greatly respected in the courtroom, and I always felt that I was in the right hands. My case dealt with complicated matters including parenting time, dissipation, unique financial situations, real estate/occupancy issues, and many other difficult subjects that he readily handled, which not only highlighted his vast knowledge of the law, but also how brilliantly his mind works. He was also empathetic and kind, so I felt emotionally supported through the process, and he has an excellent sense of humor, which always made me laugh right when I needed it. In addition, despite how busy he must have been, he was always 100% on top of my case and made me feel like I was his top priority. His paralegals are truly exceptional as well! In short, I would recommend Dwayne to anyone in a heartbeat for legal representation. I cannot thank him enough for his help through the divorce process, and for what he did for my family.

Great communication, attention to detail and proactive. Effective. Efficient. Without his help I'd be facing a lifelong nightmare.

Mr. Douglas quickly understood our case and responded in a timely manner to all questions we had regarding our case. He understood the law and successfully advocated and protected our interest. He understood our financial situation and ensured our retainer was only used for what he absolutely had to do. We are forever grateful to him and his staff. Highly recommend him and his firm.

Mr. Douglas helped me through an appeal process. I have little experience with the legal system and did not know what to expect. Mr. Douglas clearly explained the process and costs. He was always available if I had a question. I appreciate his help, clear communication, and I recommend him.

I hired Dwayne Douglas regarding a post decree matter. My ex-wife wanted to re-establish her alimony payment's which in my original Divorce Decree stated that the pay out period would be reviewable after 5 years and could extend beyond 5 years if the court deemed as necessary. Several other attorney's that I interviewed with told me I had no chance to win this case and suggested that I try and just settle the case. Dwayne came up with an out of the box strategy that swayed the judge to my favor and in doing so my ex-wife and her attorney elected to simply just dismiss the case all together.

I hired Dwayne to help finalize issues with non-payment of child support and division of assets after attempting to do so pro se. He was quick to understand the history of my divorce in relation to the issues at hand and move forward quickly on solutions that brought fair resolution. I was impressed with the professionalism he displayed in court and I appreciated his being conscientious of my need to keep legal costs in check. He enabled me to make informed, confident decisions by presenting the rationale and potential financial impact of different options for resolving issues. I wish he had been my divorce attorney due to his comprehensive, thoughtful, yet efficient approach and expediency in bringing resolution to my legal issues.

I contacted Mr. Douglas to help me with obtaining a divorce. He was kind and professional throughout the process. I reconciled with my husband and stopped divorce proceedings. Mr. Douglas handled that as well. He was recommended to me by a friend who had used his services a few years ago. I would recommend him if asked.
