Top Lawyer

I highly recommend Douglas Watson. He has been a strong and caring advocate for the various legal situations I've been faced with. He has helped immensely with apartment leases for our children, home purchases for us. Mr. Watson also sensitively assisted my 90-year-old mother through complicated e...state planning; his creative and vast understanding of the law is balanced by a common sense knowledge of human behavior.

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.
