Reunited with my kids
Mr. Earl fought for me to get visitation with my children after 4 years of not being able to see them because of issues between their mother and me. His price was reasonable and he was determined to get positive results for me. I owe this man more than he knows.

Great Representation
Mr. Earl was very informative and available to answer all of my questions. I felt really safe having him represent me. I have also recommended him to family and friends who need his services.

DO NOT HIRE HIM!!!
I hired Douglas Earl a year ago for multiple cases I had, I paid him $8,000 CASH total. To start off, he missed deadline on paperwork that needed to be filed before court and when I asked him why he said “it went over his head”. When I asked him why it wasn’t done he told me he “didn’t feel like spen...
The baby was ten months when he was taken from Ms. Viscuso and her boyfriend in November, 2019 because the baby had a fractured thigh bone and old rib fractures. Today November 5, 2020 Claudia Viscuso called me 2 times. Each time she said “Hello Doug” in a pleasant voice. This has been a nightmare for me. Claudia Viscuso asks what have I done for her? Ms. Viscus’s mother filed for custody. Claudia Viscus and her boyfriend have sole legal and sole physical custody of their 17 month old baby! This was after a 2 hour hearing on August 7, 2020 with me representing her and her boyfriend. Also, Ms. Viscuso’s boyfriend is not in state prison. I represented her boyfriend in the criminal case. I got results. Ms. Viscuso does not mention that a Judge issued a Temporary Order on July 28, 2020 against her and her boyfriend because there were grounds that the baby could be in danger. The physician from the hospital ruled that the injuries were deliberately inflicted on the baby. Paperwork that was not filed? I was waiting for the Grandmother’s attorney to file a Pre-Trial Statement and parenting Plan. I filed these things before the other lawyer did. I am also proud of the way I represented her boyfriend in the criminal case. Her boyfriend is not in state prison. I fought hard. The District Attorney’s Office wanted her boyfriend to be in state prison. There were charges of Aggravated Assault and Endangering Welfare of a Child. Her boyfriend received a 9 month sentence. It is a total lie that Claudia Viscus filled out any paperwork. Ms. Viscus had to sign a verification that what I wrote was true. It is the lies of Claudia Viscus that continue. Viscus writes that I filed paperwork that was denied. The “paperwork” that Viscus says was denied was actually an appeal from the Indicated Report of Child Abuse that I filed. If I did not file the Child Abuse finding there would be a permanent report of abuse against Ms. Viscuso. How ungrateful can a person possibly be? It was not denied! It is still going on. Viscus writes that I let her family down? She writes malicious things that are factually wrong. Children and Youth withdrew the juvenile petition in a hearing 6 moths after the baby was taken from her and her boyfriend. There was a mountain of evidence. Claudia Viscus was nice on a phone message she left for me on November 1, 2020. When I returned her message she was screaming. I hope nobody has to experience the nastiness from someone like I did from Ms. Viscuso. She has full custody of her baby and her boyfriend is not in state prison. Not a lot of parents in her situation can say this.

Great Lawyer!
He cared so much about my case. He remembered details along the way that I had forgotten. He wants to win the case but it’s about what’s best for his client.

This is the best lawyer I’ve found in Philadelphia! I’ve been through a few, he cares about his clients and he wants what’s best for you. He is would you want standing next to you. Court gives me so much anxiety but with Mr. Earl I see most of the anxiety was because I didn’t have the right man stand...
