Personal and professional; professional

I met Doug some years back and have used his services on three separate occasions. I’ve also recommended him to my family whom has used his services two other times. We appreciate Attorney MacLean’s willingness to make us feel like he is invested in our health, safety, and family. He and his wife... are great people and he’s built a solid network around him that has served us well when we needed information of some other nature. He knows has all the necessary contacts including professional witnesses to make sure the issue is litigated well. Highly recommended. Don’t hesitate should you need an honest, hard-working attorney on your side.

Doug is a legal and professional attorney with extensive experience

I have consulted and collaborated with Doug on numerous legal matters. Most recently Doug represented me on a federal court matter involving an issue that was rarely before the Court. He litigated the case before the Federal District Court and the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Doug's knowledge of t...he law is extensive and his briefs were clear, concise and extremely well written. His advocacy before the courts was exceptional. He kept me apprised of all developments and promptly returned my phone calls. Doug is a professional of the highest order.

Fantastic attorney!!!

Douglas MacLean is a really really good attorney. I had a criminal matter and was facing jail time. I hired Mr MacLean as my attorney. He was professional. He went to court and negotiated a settlement. I only had to pay a fine. I could not have been more pleased with the result.

The Lawyer you can trust

I found Douglas to be a great listener and took a strong interest in making sure to gather all necessary details for my case. Douglas has a heart for helping others. His knowledge of my particular issue was excellent.

Litigation lawyer | Oct 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I affirmatively endorse Doug MacLean. I worked as co-counsel with Mr MacLean on a civil rights case that was filed in Federal District Court and later appealed to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. It involved both complex and novel legal issues some of which the court did not want to deal with. Doug proved to be a creative thinker and fine analyst of legal issues. Additionally he was diligent as a litigator and good writer. Mr MacLean was very conscientious about all deadlines set by the Court. As evidence of my respect for him I hired Doug to represent me in a legal matter."
