Douglas Drenk

We hired Doug Drenk based on a recommendation from a friend. They couldn't have been more wrong. He's unprofessional, rude, doesn't pay attention to detail, among many other issues. I should've known from the first meeting when he showed up in a tank top and jeans that this was going to set the stand...ard, but we trusted our friend. After multiple times of not listening to our concerns or issues, and going against what we wanted in court, we finally called him out for it and he quit on us. Thousands lost, not to mention the case. And this would've been an easy case to win given the circumstances. Any green attorney would've had thier first case won with ease. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere, like I wish we did.

This guy is a liar and completely incompetent. Warning: do not use this guy he is a cheat and no good. He doesn’t ever show up, he’s always late and makes the most ridiculous excuses. He is not respected by his peers and not one judge thinks highly of him. He also takes personal calls all the time wh...en in conference with his clients and never gives his undivided attention as he should. This guy should not have a law license! Horrible attorney who never wins a case!!

I can see where some personalities want an attorney that strokes their ego and tells them everything is going to work out and your going to get everything you want but I'm one who wants someone that's going to give it to me straight not get blindsided in court because my lawyer said everything would ...be ok. In the 19 years I've used his services he's represented me in lawsuits and won, custody disputes and won plus he's gotten quite a few of my friends out of trouble with various cases..... criminal, possession, divorce, visitation and more. For those reviews that made comments about his appearance in court I just have to laugh, have you ever went to court with him or seen him in court? Doug has been around those courtrooms so long he could show up in Pjs and bunny slippers and it would not matter everyone knows him and respects him. Maybe some of those new lawyers need to show up in stuffy suits but not that guy he's already earned his respect from everyone in those rooms.

I was a client of this attorney. He misses court dates and appearances and you are later asked to pay associated legal fees for that. He does not recall the important details of the case. He does not present the important evidence to the judge the other side will come prepared and judge will hear eve...rything on their side but not much of yours. He lacks etiquette in dealing with clients he does everything his way and refuses to hear client insute; repeatedly tells you you know nothing about the law. If you ask him to do anything with your case that he is not in agreement with he will threaten to withdraw at critical moments of the case. Overall, I felt I would have had a much better outcome had I self represented rather than have him represent me.

Mr. Drenk would like to pretend that he's your buddy to distract from the fact that he's incredibly unprepared. Mr. Drenk is also incredibly unprofessional. He missed court and didn't have the courtesy to call me, another day he showed up to court in jeans, and he made rude and unnecessary comments t...o my ex-wife and her lawyer. I had to apologize for his behavior, I was absolutely disgusted.
