Doug Burgess, Trustworthy
We have been using Mr. Burgess' law firm since 1968, and Mr. Burgess for approximately the past 25 plus years. He has been my personal and business attorney, and has also been consulted by my family. I appreciate his honesty and trust him totally.

"I have practiced law with Doug Burgess for over 30 years. First as partners at Nolan, Plumhoff & Williams, and for the past 1 ¾ years he and I share office space and are “Of Counsel” to each other’s separate law practices. Doug has established himself as a very knowledgeable and experienced lawyer in all aspects of real estate matters from business formation, development, management, transactional work, sales and exchanges, and representing clients in real estate litigation. He also has a substantial estate planning and estate administration practice, including estate litigation. He ably represents restaurateurs in the management and transfer of restaurants and liquor licenses. He easily develops a friendly and caring relationship with his clients, which makes him a trusted adviser. Clients continually look to him for ongoing legal services."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Doug for over thirty years as a fellow student and as a lawyer. I know him to be an attorney of great competence and exceptional character. I would not, and do not, hesitate to consider Doug as a referral resource for those of my clients who would benefit from his experience and expertise."
