Relationship: Worked together on matter
Doug is a dedicated, bright and personable lawyer. I do not work in his community, but I know his reputation is excellent and his contacts are national. I highly recommend him.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Doug is an excellent probate litigator. He has a keen insight that is the marking of a born litigator. And he works very, very hard. He obviously cares a great deal about his work. When he serves on a law-related committee or board, he does not merely show up to say "present." He contributes. And his contributions are valuable because he does his research and comes prepared. Doug gives his very best to what he does, period. He is both a talented attorney and a valuable colleague.
