Douglas James Vanston

I've been dealing with Doug for approximately 1 year with a criminal case. In the beginning I thought he was great. He said he was going to do all these specific things like get an investigator on the case to prove that I was being harassed. And subpoena witnesses. Not. But of course in Lackaw...anna County they do not arrest women for harassment only men. To make a long story short I have many many witnesses and lots of evidence against this person and Doug wanted me to just plead guilty to one summary harassment. There is no proof of harassment I have all the proof on the other individual. Doug is very weak and besides he is fresh out of college. Nice guy though. Unfortunately his inexperience could cost me my freedom. My case should have been thrown out day one. I had to hire a real lawyer for this BS. It also involves several other individuals and police officers in a malicious prosecution. They're just trying to put me in jail without due process and evidence. The plaintiff's own statements under oath even say I was not harassing her or threatening her. It doesn't get any more innocent than that. So yeah Doug sucks as a lawyer.

Every public defender I ever had throughout my life never done nothing for me. This guy is another story. I was facing years for a high speed chase and this man went to war for me and get me immediate work release and under two years when I was facing almost 6 total. This is a great man who cares abo...ut his clients and knows what he is doing. Highly recomment

I usually have nothing good to say about criminal lawyers or any lawyer for that matter. But I have to give credit where credit is due. Dog has worked extremely hard on my criminal case and did a exceptional job fighting for my innocence. He spent a lot of time on my case even though he was working t...hrough the public defender's office. Doug will fight for you harder than any other lawyer . He has proven that.

When I got my second DUI I was terrified. I knew I needed legal representation right away. I called a few different local lawyers based on reviews, one of which blew me off twice last minute. Completely unprofessional. Doug called me back immediately and set up an appointment to meet at his home. He... answered my questions thoroughly and completely. He fought for me in court. He had my back through the whole process. His rates were reasonable and he was always there to answer my texts. Through his legal expertise, he was able to negotiate my sentence to a fair outcome for both myself and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If you want a lawyer who treats you like a priority, this is the man for you!
