Likes to defend men who beat up women

He is the lowest of the low, not sure what went wrong with his parenting or if he just wants more money and lacks all compassion for victims

BY FAR THE BEST ATTORNEY AROUND!

Doug is the absolute hands-down BEST attorney there is! I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing an attorney! He goes above and beyond responding and answering any questions or concerns you may have, even going out of his way to make sure he gets back in touch with you asap, even after hours, weekend...s or his own personal time! THAT is how important his clients are to him! Make an appointment for a consultation, you definitely won't regret and you definitely won't find a better attorney!

Excellent Experience

Doug communicates very well, and outlined my options and best course of action. He was able to get my case resolved soon after I was charged. This was critical to my employment. Doug understood the ramifications that my case would have on my job and went to work right away to help minimize the issues... I was facing. I fully recommend Doug if you need help with a legal issue.

Thankful for Mr. Edwards!

I wish I could give more stars. This man helped me through a situation, ultimately getting my charges completely dismissed. He was responsive, and was able to give me insight in the process that not many lawyers can do. If you’re facing criminal charges…run to him, don’t walk. Thank you, Mr. Edwards.... Geri

Couldn’t have asked for Better

My son was facing serious allegations. We contacted Doug when we were contacted by police detectives. He immediately went to work for our son. Doug was responsive, professional, and compassionate. Thankfully for his expertise, working relationships, and in depth knowledge my son was able to avoid a v...ery serious conviction which would have de-railed his future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
