You Must Contact Doug

I have been a client with the Brady Law Firm for two years (real estate matters) and have always been extremely happy with their services and professionalism. Over the summer was my first time working with Doug on an unexpected matter that surfaced on a piece of property. I was besides myself and Dou...g did an outstanding job of calming me down :) and was sure to explain the process to me, and kept me informed of every step of the way. I live in NY and it was nice to know that i didn't have to worry about it and trusted him he was taking care of the issue. He fulfilled his promise and kept in touch as necessary and I knew my best interest was in his hands. I couldn't thank him enough for his knowledge, expertise and professionalism. You will truly enjoy working with him; whether you are in NC, or live in another state like I do, you will not go wrong retaining Doug and the Brady Law Firm. I have been in sales/customer service for a long time and I only settle for the best!! Good Luck!

Estate planning lawyer | Feb 09

Relationship: Co-worker

"I became acquainted with Doug when he came to work as a summer intern with us at the Brady Law Firm. What was most evident about Doug was his ability to work independently and find the correct resolution to issues with little or no direct supervision. It was Doug's exceptional work as an intern that led us to extend an offer to him upon graduation from law school. Since joining the firm Doug has earned the confidence and trust not just of the firm's employees but of our colleagues and our clients as well. He is an excellent attorney with all the tools, knowledge, and expertise necessary to provide his clients high quality legal service. I strongly recommend Doug."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Myself and Brady Law Firm, PLLC vehemently endorse Douglas. Douglas first joined Brady Law Firm as an intern and legal assistant while he was in law school. It became very apparent early on that Douglas would be a great fit for the firm and would provide the excellent legal service and customer service for which Brady Law Firm is known. Since joining the firm as an attorney, Douglas has blown those expectations out of the water. Douglas' work ethic, knowledge of the law, commitment to providing professional and competent legal services at the highest level is unfailing. We feel lucky to have Douglas as a part of our team and our clients consistently provide positive feedback that they feel fortunate that Douglas was the attorney assisting them with their matter."
