Douglas P Earl

Attorney Douglas was very professional, I was not able to see my son for one year. He ask me what I wanted and I got everything I asked of him I would recommend to anyone looking for someone with experience and know he know what he is doing from start to finish he got the job done. his fees are n...ot bad

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...ding his Sunday arguing” and hung up on me not once but twice! Which is extremely unprofessional. With the same case, he also never filed additional paperwork “yet” because it “takes a lot of time”. When I asked him what he has done for me and my family he couldn’t even give me an answer! That’s because he did absolutely nothing! Anytime I had a question he would become very defensive and rude. Not to mention, he has me fill out and go to the courthouse MYSELF for any paperwork that had to be done. On another case, I had to personally call Doug myself to let him know what the outcome of the case was because it wasn’t from his help but all of the work I did! He was supposed to get video surveillance but failed to do so. I also hired him again to file other paperwork which he put through that was denied because of having an open case which he knew about and knew it would get denied but took $3,000 to file ONE piece of paperwork anyway knowing what would happen. I have given Doug multiple chances only for him to continuously let not only me but my family down. He refused to give me my money back even after he did NOT provide me the services I paid him for. When I went to his office he said I should be “ashamed” of myself for the way I spoke to him. I would absolutely not recommend Doug as a lawyer to anyone! He is the absolute WORST LAWYER I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE!! A COMPLETE SCAM!

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...ing with me.

DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY FOR CRIMINAL DEFENSE OR FORFITURE CASES. Used him for a criminal case in montgomery County, Pa. & a civil forfiture case related to it. Charged 20K, said on the day of trial "I'm too sick to do a jury trial", led me to accept a bench trial when he knew my co-defendant had only mi...nutes before pled guilty before the same judge, I was found guilty of two counts PWID where there was only one criminal act, I was sentenced to nearly twice the statutory maximum, he failed to file appeals even after twice being ordered to do so by the judge, (I later won two appeals it a new attorney), and finally he made no arguments in the forfeiture action costing me an $ 80, 000 airplane when there was zero evidence that said aircraft was used in the Commission of the crime as evidenced by the fact that the Feds did not pick up the case and I was not charged with or convicted of interstate transportation. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY FOR CRIMINAL DEFENSE OR FORFITURE CASES.
