Very professional and helpful

Doug McClanahan is a very professional and well skilled lawyer. We have worked with him on several occasions and can say we will continue to turn to him when needed. He is knowledgeable, concise, skilled and well mannered.

Since 2001

I have worked with Doug Since 2001 after meeting him at a conference where he gave a presentation. After hearing him speak I knew he would be a good addition to my business for what he could offer. I have always worked well with Doug as he has taken care of the clients I have referred to him in a m...ost professional, honest, courteous and timely manner, and with very reasonable costs. It has always been a pleasure to work with Doug, and will continue to do so.

Doug is Excellent

My wife and I had an issue with our home. Doug was recommended by our closing attorney. He performed as expected and we received a settlement that was what we expected. Excellent with contract work and avoids pitfalls. He has earned our highest rating.

Dependable, down-to-earth, determined, diligent Doug!

My small business hired Doug's firm for 2 back-to-back cases. From start to finish, Doug: - listened attentively - gave me the time I needed, when I needed it - was knowledgeable of our local court systems/procedures - protected me - handled all paperwork to keep my case current - corresponded ...promptly with opposing counsel - showed rapport with judges - was very tight on his time so as not to run up a bill The best part for me, other than just plain liking my attorney, is that Doug proactively drove my cases forward to resolution without me needing to even think about what the next step would be. As a business owner that's exactly what I needed. I highly recommend McClanahan!

Great Service, Makes Everything Easy

Our business has been working with Doug for several years now, and we have always received great service. He is prompt, professional, and patient, even when we give him several time-sensitive cases at once. He has also helped us create contracts, payment plans, and other official documents, all at ...a very reasonable rate. You really can't find better service, and Doug makes everything so much easier so we can focus on running our business.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
