Highly recommend Doug

Doug was with us from the first moment we filed until the final discharge. He answered all our questions throughout our 5 years with him.

Chapter 13 pretty much saved my life

Doug had my back every step of the way and still does. We were strangers when I walked into his office for the first time, but we became friends while trudging through my legal morass together, and I don't see how I could have made it through it without him. Give him a call if you need a bankruptcy... lawyer. Thanks for all your hard work, Doug!

Help with Bankruptcy

Doug helped us file for bankruptcy in January. He walked us through the process and even called after hours to let us know that he had filed the papers with the court. He kept us informed when paperwork like the counseling needed to be done and made sure we had all the paperwork when we went to cou...rt. He even drove us to the courthouse because we were afraid we would get lost in the city and miss our court date and time. He continued to check with us after the court date and also let us know when the case was discharged. My husband was on the verge of losing his job and he checked to see how things went and if the company that bought his company out rehired him. I would recommend Doug to anyone looking for a good lawyer who truly cares about his clients and who will have their best interests at heart.

excellent service!

In addition to being understanding, knowledgeable, and personable, Doug and his office were very informative, easy to contact and willing to do whatever was necessary. I would without a doubt recommend Doug to anyone seeking a lawyer as well contact him again for any legal needs.
