About Douglas
Biography
For over 30 years, I have been helping clients in both Nassau and Queens Counties primarily in the areas of family, divorce, and traffic matters. In these uncertain and difficult economic times, it is important to learn your legal rights. I have worked with clients facing these emotional issues and have obtained effective results for clients by providing aggressive representation in a cost-effective manner. Most of our clients come from referrals from satisfied clients. Our legal services are affordable and we accept most major credit cards and allow for payment plans on many legal matters. For your convenience, we offer some night and weekend appointments. We accept ZELLE, credit cards, check, and cash payments.
LEGAL EXPERIENCE YOU NEED AT A PRICE YOU CAN AFFORD
Child Custody cases are very fact-sensitive. Aggressive representation matters. Being open and upfront with clients relative to their objectives is necessary. We listen to your concerns and identify objectives.
Your case matters. You have a right to be heard. Let us be your voice in the Courtroom.
Pay for the services you need, not what others firms want to sell you. Your wishes and objective are honored in our office.

Resolved Traffic violation
He helped me resolve 2 traffic tickets i got on the same day. He got the charges and fines reduced. The best part was from the very first call he was upfront about what his action plan is and set the expectations straight. It was a seamless experience.
