This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

A coward and a liar.

Doug’s counseling skills are about as good as his pilot skills (yikes!). Luckily, he didn’t represent me, but I am why you can find his name in the Iowa Supreme Court’s disciplinary board statements; that is comically attached to every one of his online advertisement profiles. I see it’s been remove...d. I’ll see that it’s put back where it belongs. Feel free to contact me about it. “Birds of a feather”… See ya around, you greasy, little worm.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thorough and informative

Hired him 3 times for family court issues. Hes really good about pushing the other side into a corner. Fights for his clients. He's thorough in his explanations and extremely knowledgeable. I never felt out of the loop and I was always sent a copy of every email or filing.

Google his name before you hire him

Hes a fraud. I personally know someone who he royally tried to screw over in family court concerning their child all based in lies and he knew it all along. Screwed over his own client too and made her look like a fool (she is but still). Probably laughed all the way to the bank to cash her checks. ...He a prime example of what is wrong with the family court system in Iowa. Hes also represented some major losers in the past. No morals or ethics involved with this POS.

AVOID THIS GUY

If I could give a 1/4 star, I would. He was VERY rude, quick to respond but when he did his letters were unprofessional and abrasive. I would NEVER go to him again.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2019.

Reprimand issued in IA, 2019

updated on 08/13/2019

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
