Douglas R Sparks

I had a personal injury case that many other lawyers would not even have taken as I had had been given a jaywalking ticket after being struck by a car. Doug Sparks was introduced to me by a friend, also a lawyer, and he took the case and with all its vulnerabilities negotiated a generous settlement ...with the other party's insurance company. He helped me find appropriate medical care without pushing for anyone. He has a long experience with similar cases and his knowledge of the medical issues was extremely helpful in my case. He followed closely the progress in my recovery and made useful suggestions as to what to discuss with my doctor, what kind of questions to ask etc. I interacted with Doug only by phone and email until the very last stage. I found this to be a very effective way to get things done without having to spend time going to and from his office. He emailed any relevant documents to me immediately when he got them and was very proactive in keeping me informed of developments and requesting information. He often got back to me after hours or even on weekends. I have never worked with personal injury lawyers before, so don't have a point of comparison, but I have been very happy with Doug's knowledge and assistance as well as of course the actual settlement outcome.

I met Douglas Sparks at likely the most vulnerable time in my life. I had been assaulted by a man who broke into my building. The building management had been aware of numerous security issues, but hadn't informed the tenants. Doug immediately made me and my family feel confident that we were in ...good hands, and that, even after a harrowing experience like that one, we could count on him to fight for us and, by extension, the rights of all the tenants in our building. He came prepared, as he always does, and his work, even before we'd met, spoke for itself. Our case was very successful thanks to Doug's hard work and care. His attention to every detail was superb, and he left no corner of the case undiscovered. Through the process of the case, we had so much to manage -- emotionally, mentally, and professionally. Moving forward in a healthy way often seemed impossible. But Doug and his excellent team allowed me to place my focus where it was required -- to the healing process -- instead of the process of the case. Of course, he spent time answering my questions, no matter how trivial. He prepared me for the case, informed me of my options, but didn't burden me with too much information. I recommend Doug without hesitation and with great enthusiasm. He knows the avenues to success and doesn't shy from using them for the good of his clients. He has a directness and savvy that you want on your side. His expertise makes a level playing field out of what often seems like an unfair and drawn-out system. And he is a kind, compassionate person -- which, above all else, is why his clients trust him, and have faith in him, long after their cases are done. Hire Doug Sparks. You'll be happy you did.

I was annoyed with the first lawyer for my automobile accident case. When it looked like the case would go to court, he gave up. Fortunately, he handed me Douglas Sparks’ name and phone number. I am from a modest Latino family, and was afraid that Mr. Sparks would also turn down my case. What a ...surprise, after meeting Doug I felt confident and welcome. He had a great attitude towards me and explained all the details of the court process. Even though he made no promises of winning, I was convinced he would fight all the way for me. I was impressed by his work and perseverance. Doug actually had an investigator meet me at the scene of the accident at 6:30 a.m. (exact accident time) and video light sequences at the intersection. After going to court all the way through the pre trial, the insurance company finally offered a generous settlement. Doug wouldn’t settle earlier for an amount he thought wasn’t fair. I was impressed by Doug’s intelligence, fast thinking, and attention to every detail. . I always refer friends and family to him when they need a lawyer.
