The consummate professional!!!

Doug is the consummate professional. He handled a very "sticky" situation for us, a California company. The issue resolved quickly and positively in our favor!

Excellent, sound advice and great communication

James helped me navigate a complex legal issue with my startup company, providing me with valuable insight that reflects his many years of practicing law. He was professional and very timely in his communication, and I really appreciated his quick turnaround given the limited time I had to deal with ...the matter.

Dough Uloth

Doug did an excellent job in both explaining the circumstances around the law suit and designing the defense of the suit. Doug was very specific in laying out the details and gave great advice as to next steps as the suit progressed. he was very professional at all times and his demeanor was relaxed ...but extremely informative. all though the process was enduring it was a comfort to know he was my council. I became more confident as the process unfolded. Doug also was very upfront about the expense of this suit and was very time sensitive and constantly managed expenses. Overall very knowledgably, communicative, responsive, while being supportive.

Estate Litigation

Mr. Douglas Uloth guided my wife and I through a very complex family estate issue. He is a master at attention to detail. All responses were within minutes after contact. I highly recommend Mr. Uloth!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
