A father figure who cares for his client
For conflict divorce, I recommend Atty Dough. He treated me like his own daughter. He creates balance in and out the court room. From the start, he told me to be open, realistic and stay calm. He focused on the most important issues despite the struggles in the opposition. A father figure who care...
Thank you for the kind words - and moreover, for trusting us with the most important things in your life, those amazing children. I'm (almost) as happy as you are with the result of the case - thank YOU for all the time, patience, work and trust.

Integrity and results
Thank God Doug was on my team and not the opposing counsel. His strategies were well thought out, and he absolutely excels at dismantling the opposing counsels case, all while maintaining integrity. Doug knows what he is doing, and is extremely quick and effective to alter course when things chang...

Knows Dads Rights
There is pretty much a bias everywhere that moms are just better to take care of the kids. I have 3, and my ex was non-stop keeping us apart, talking bad about me - stuff you hear about all the time. When I met with Doug, I was looking for contempt. It took 8 1/2 months and 3 hearings, but by Chri...

Great Attorney and Equally Great Advocate
Mr. Hassinger was there for me a couple of time when I needed more than a "lawyer" during a couple of tragic events in my life. He is the first attorney I've ever met who LITERALLY "droppped everything" to come to my rescue (in his gardening clothes) within 45 minutes of my call. Mr. Hassinger is n...

Refreshing
Answered a question on AVVO promptly and with insightful points. So refreshing to have a response that not only captures the essence of the question, but also shows a caring attitude. The points he made are ones that I have raised with 2 other hired attorneys who dismissed them as irrelevant. I wish ...
"I endorse this lawyer. Doug is an overall great attorney. His devotion to the practice of law is not only seen by his clients, but also his fellow attorneys (whether co-workers or opposing counsel). He is creative and driven to provide the best possible representation."
"Douglas Hassinger is an excellent attorney. Anyone looking for a family law attorney would be fortunate to have Douglas on their side."
"Doug worked with my firm when he began his practice and I have had the opportunity to work on both sides of the table with him since he began his own practice. I have found Doug to be innovative, adept and knowledgeable. Doug has great skill at solving problems instead of perpetuating them. He provides his client with solutions in cases with hard issues and significant life-changing impact. His talents are a credit to the profession."
"Doug is a colleague in the family bar and has been a good friend for nearly a decade. In the family bar in particular, I find there are many lawyers who are overzealous to a fault, who seem to have a total inability to see the other side and understand his/her motivations, perspectives, and wants. While I'm sure it makes the client happy to know s/he has a "pit bull" on his/her side, in reality the client is not getting good service from that lawyer, and is likely to spend more money than s/he should have to spend. Doug is different, which is a rarity in the family bar. To date, I have been fortunate enough not to face Doug in a case, as I know he is a tenacious, capable litigator. But the reason Doug is great at what he does is his ability to be reasonable first, brutally honest with his clients, and adversarial only as a last resort. I would have every confidence in Doug as my lawyer that I am getting the best value for my litigation dollar. He has my highest recommendation."
