Douglas F Herring

Highest of recommendations! To a parent, a call in the middle of the night from a sobbing child at college 3,000 miles away is your worst nightmare. I called the law offices of Douglas Herring first thing in the morning, Doug was immediately responsive and able to calm both mother and child with brilliant legal knowledge spanning both coasts, sympathy and good humor. Within hours he had guided us through the process to get the matter fully dismissed with no court records. We are beyond grateful for his expertise, kindness, good humor and calm presence! 

I had spent many hours speaking with many attorneys in the area. When I spoke with Douglas Herring he made me feel that he was behind me 100. He spoke to me like I was a person and not just a case. He understood my frustrations with receiving my DUI tickets. On my court date he was able to get all of my tickets dismissed. I am very happy I chose Mr. Herring.

There literally aren't enough words or characters in here to explain how great of a Attorney Doug Herring is.. I truly mean that. (I've been working on this for about 3 months pushing other paperwork back because it wouldn't be right to do something else in my eyes till I got this in which started at 6 pages long to choping it down to 4 to 3 to this and had to shrink 3 years of court to fit in here. So when I say there aren't enough words and characters to just express how great of a Attorney he is I literally mean that.) Not only is a great Attorney but after a 3 year court case he's someone I can count on, someone I can trust, and now a great friend. Anytime throughout those 3 years that I called him he always answered and if I left a message no matter what the time was or if it was the weekend he has personally called me back every single time. Even when he was home and what little spare time he has which is really going above and beyond his duties as a lawyer. Now besides being a Defense Attorney from what I know and have seen he's a great father to his kids and he also is a EMT as well which makes him a great person in society and a privilege to know him. Now prior to opening his own practice in New Jersey he was a prosecutor in the state of California for 19 years. So he literally knows the laws; front to back in the West Coast to East Coast especially from being on 1 side to the other which makes him a better attorney from knowing how the prosecution thinks and what they can do or should do for each and every case. Obviously thats also depends on the person, record, and charges. But due to that fact he was on both sides makes him a more prestige, powerful, extremely intelligent lawyer which is someone you definitely want representing you. 3 years ago in December of 2016 I got in trouble for basically stopping a huge fight from escalating extremely by firing a single round from my legally owned handgun in a safe direction not near anyone to make a extremely loud noise to end this huge fight inside my house that involved myself, my mother, and this woman I was dating at the time. I'm not saying this is a best choice of action. (But at the time i had very limited choices due to having severe injuries from stepping on a bomb in Iraq, being full of shrapnel, and a single fall the wrong way could paralyze me for the rest of my life.) I am a expert marksman and was a trained infantry leader of military tactics, weapons, and a combat veteran who served in the military for 5 and 1/2 years until being forced Honorably Medically Retired from those injuries sustained on my 2nd tour in Iraq. Do too those severe injuries and being full of shrapnel NOTHING can be done for me to not be in severe pain. (I only am explaining all of this because it goes on to show how he really saved my life.) So to make the pain just bearable I am on a extremely high dose of medications since 2007 that I have to take everyday for the rest of my life or I would be basically tortured from from severe pain from those injuries and I have to/need too take them everyday not missing 1 day. Now since I have been taking them for 9 years prior to this event my brain has literally been rewired from the chemicals of the medication. So not having that high dose everyday legally prescribed would put me into such a risk of seizure and very extreme hallucinations and severe pain that isn't safe at all for me to the point the chance of me dying are high. Now back to Dec 2016 the night of this huge fight at my house the guy who was still screaming and arguing with now my sick mother and the girl I was dating stopped right after I did what I did in a extremely safe way. Now there is more to it but not many characters left. But because of the laws in NJ there's a law called the Graves Act. It's up to the Judge if he will give a waiver which Doug Herring was able to push for and get due to no criminal history and my past. But I truly believe he saved my life.

The State kept offering me 5 Years in State Prison. Mr. Herring and I decided to go to trial...jury found me "Not Guilty"! Mr. Herring was well prepared and made the prosecutor "look like a fool"! He also got my second case dismissed with a motion to the judge. If you want a REAL LAWYER, someone that is well known by judges and prosecutors...I would highly recommend Mr. Herring! Worth every dollar!

I was charged with a DUI and traffic citation. Seeing that this was such a serious offense I felt confused and was under a lot of stress. I was forced to research as much as I could in a short period of time, after many online referrals; reviews; American bar association; and LinkedIn searches. I came across Mr. Douglas a Defense Lawyer. I needed an attorney but someone knowledgeable and with years of experience; more importantly I wanted someone that would be understanding, exhibit great character and a true passion for what they do. Mr. Douglas was everything and more. He agreed to see me on short notice. The meeting affirmed the fact that I needed Mr. Douglas to defend me, his fees were more than adequate and his efforts astounding. During the course of 2 year I worked with him on my case, yeas you read that right that is how long it took to resolve the case. He has been a great friend, counselor, and he is always available 24×7 365 days either in person, phone, text or email. I am happy to say that all charges against me were dismissed except one for reckless driving. Thanks to Mr. Douglas driven yet humbling attributes. I would recommend anyone to appoint him. He is a WINNER. Lastly not but the least I have never come across a lawyer who knows how to smile no matter how easy or tough the case maybe. Mr. Douglas on the other end has abundance of it. He made me feel at ease during this whole ordeal. Thank you, Mr. Douglas, for all your help, words cannot describe how happy I am. All the best with all future endeavors.
