I don’t recommend

For anyone buying or selling a house, I would never recommend this lawyer. Because he will not care about your interests and will not fight for them if necessary. I say this from my own experience, I hired him when I was selling my house and at the same time buying my second house. I faced several pr...oblems, Douglas did not try to help me solve them at all, he did nothing, moreover, he was not on my side at all, I had to get out of difficult situations myself, although the lawyer was supposed to help me. I really, really regret that I hired this lawyer, I have another plan to sell and buy a house ahead, and I will definitely hire another lawyer, but not this one.

Knowledgeable and Respectful

We hired Douglas to help us with a complex probate issue that had the family fighting for years. Douglas was able to review our case and offer a solution that was agreeable to all my family members. He was very knowledgeable about the probate process and the nuances of our specific case involving a... spousal abandonment issue. We definitely recommend Douglas for his legal expertise and respectful demeanor.

Family law

I hired Douglas to handle my difficult divorce/ family court case. He did an amazing job! He was timely in all his proceedings. He kept me in the loop about all the details and had my best interests at heart. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I was so pleased with his work that I hired him agai...n when my wife and I decided to buy a house. I will continue to use Douglas for all of my legal matters.

Wills and Trusts

I hired Douglas to prepare wills for my in-laws and he was extremely professional and knowledgeable in helping them. He met them when they were available and was kind and courteous answering all of their concerns. His work was timely and thorough. He even took the time to answer some other questio...ns they had about guardianship and other areas of concern outside of the Will process. Highly recommended.
