A working man's lawyer you can trust

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!

Outstanding Representation

Doug is a young and aggressive attorney with a bright future in his field. When it comes to his client's he dose a good job of explaining options and defense strategies. My understanding is he is employed as a public defender where all good attorney's earn there stripes nevertheless I hired him priva...tely and thust far feel like I have a friend on myside.

Did not defending me against district attorney

Mr vaston did not defend me against the district attorney all he did was agree... He did not even try to make an argument to defend my name against the fake chargest again me he was pretty lame as a lawyer he gave me no hope to stand in trial...

Outstanding

Mr. Vanston represented my son as a public defender. While he did not get my sons charges dismissed, he did take the time to explain options and possibilities. We took his advice and he was able to work out a deal that was better than we expected given our boys passed troubles.
