Very Knowledgeable about Shoulder Injuries and Workers Comp

Doug helped me navigate a Workers Comp injury that required shoulder surgery. He was very knowledgeable about shoulder injuries, orthopedic doctors in the Atlanta Area, and the Workers Comp claim process. He's a pleasure to interact with as well. I highly recommend him.

Doug is the best there is.

I hired Doug to make sure my workers comp. case was handled properly. He exceeded my expectations in many ways. When I contacted him I had been going through the case alone for almost 2 years. I thought it was pretty much wrapped up the doctors were pretty much done with what they could do at my age.... I just had to live with the rest until science advanced was my answer. When I hired Doug that answer was not good enough for him. He got me sent to better doctors in Atlanta and which all in all ended in a better result and I received a spinal cord stimulator which helped a lot more then being told to deal with it till science advances. Doug is very thorough and knowledgeable with his craft. If I could go back and do it again the only thing I would change is I would hire him sooner!

Douglas Kaleita Cares!

Seeing a loved one suffer has to be one of the worst things that can happen. Attorney Doug Kaleita first and foremost wants you to be taken care of medically as well as financially. He took time to look at every avenue available to assist my son with finding a way to relieve his chronic pain from his... work related injury. With Doug you are not a number, you are a person. He is in this business to help people and after our experience with Doug I truly believe this 100%.

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!!

I was searching for a worker comp lawyer after being hurt and jerked around by my employer’s worker Comp Doctor. I called many Lawyers to help me out with my situation, and I needed help and guidance on what to do. After many failed attempts to find an Attorney, I began to feel disappointed and down.... That all changed when I found Douglas Kaleita. I found Douglas Kaleita by doing a basic Google search for Lawyers. For some reason or another, my intuition told me that he is the one. After a nice conversation that I had with Doug, I chose him to represent me. That decision was the best decision that I ever made. He got me a new doctor, and not just any doctor. Doug got me set up with a very High Quality Respectable Doctor. During the whole process, Doug kept in contact with me on a regular basis. Doug is very knowledgeable and informed in this area of Expertise. He will tell you straight up facts about you case, without beating around the bush. I’ve learned so much from Doug that I myself decided to study In this type of Profession. I’ve constantly ask Doug questions about every little detail about my case. I ‘ve picked his brain for hours on end and while most Attorneys will try to rush you off the phone, this is not the case with Doug K. Doug really loves and care for the wellbeing for his clients. I can go on for days and tell how Great of an Attorney Doug K is. Make no mistake about this, Doug is a fighter and stands up for his clients. Trust me when I say this, hiring Doug K to represent you will be “THE” best decision in your life. Doug is the type of Attorney you need, when you are trusting your case with an attorney. Throughout my long journey with Doug, he has brought more education to me that I’ve never known. Because Workers Comp Law is History, and I love History. I am so “Thankful” every day for the choice that I made with Doug. Doug “YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST” BETTER THAN ALL THE REST!!!!
