Posted by Happy Client!! | September 02, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

First Class

Doug was able to get a reduction of my DUI charge with a blood alcohol level of a .175 to Wreckless Driving. This was a huge victory for me and my family given my occupation and where I am at in my career. I felt like with Doug as my attorney that I wasn't just another client but someone he was figh...ting for and working diligently to get the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Doug if you find yourself in an unfortunate or highly compromising situation.

DUI/Car accident representation

I've dealt with Doug since 1998 when he first represented me in my DUI case and I am using him now as my attorney in my accident case. I cannot find a lawyer with a higher sense of respect, knowledge and dedication to his clients than Mr. Greenberg. His professionalism is second to none and best of a...ll, he is a super human being. Usually lawyers give the legal profession a black eye because of how they carry themselves. Doug Greenberg is the exception of the legal system.

I didn't know Doug, before my trouble, but am sure glad I met him.

Doug handled my DUI case in a fantastic fashion. Even as he was put in an awkward position with another attorney hired by my family he showed restraint, professionalism,and above all else he got a favorable decision when it looked like I might do some serious time. His guidance and patience with me... was exceptional. I highly recommend Doug for any legal matter you may need help with.

He turned out to be a blessing

He helped my Fiancée out with her DUI last time, Now I am going to use him to sue her for all the money she never paid me back for...

I hired this lawyer in 2001 for a simple DWI.I thought it would be easy. I was charged with road ways lined for traffic. Another word's safe driving.My license has been canceled since 2005.
