About Douglas
Biography
Mr. Douglas A. Funkhouser is an Ohio criminal defense attorney, with more than 30 years of experience, compassion for his clients and the diligence to seek justice for all whom he represents. Unlike many attorneys who take a hands-off approach to client representation to increase their case loads, Mr. Funkhouser personally handles each unique case and treats all clients with dignity and respect. Mr. Funkhouser takes his responsibility of representing vulnerable individuals seriously, and strives to obtain the same justice for his clients that he would want for himself and his family.
Mr. Funkhouser began his extensive law career in 1995. Prior to founding Douglas A. Funkhouser Co., L.P.A. in 2000, Mr. Funkhouser represented nearly 1,000 clients on a wide variety of civil law issues. As a prosecutor in the U.S. Army, Mr. Funkhouser led a legal staff that prosecuted more than 400 misconduct cases, successfully prosecuted four courts-martial in the Republic of South Korea and acted as the sole legal advisor for 30 commanders with more than 4,000 soldiers deployed within 10 miles of demilitarized zone.
As a graduate of The United States Army Judge Advocate General’s School in Charlottesville, Virginia, Mr. Funkhouser also worked as a Captain the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps, specialized in military law, statutes and regulations and provided legal advice to special agents and commanders on investigative, administrative and criminal law issues. Additionally, Mr. Funkhouser earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from The Ohio State University and a Juris Doctorate degree from Capital University Law School with honors, both in Columbus, Ohio.

Experienced and diligent attorney
Excellent attorney who answered all of my questions while we were in court. Easy to get a hold of by telephone and always returned my calls when I miss him. I would use him again if I needed a criminal attorney. Very knowledgeable.
