You don't want this guy or his staff.

Retained earlier this year. Doug talks a big game and that is it. ALL TALK. His staff is rude and condescending. His attorneys' office drastically inflates their length of time spent on their cases, obviously sticking me with additional fees.

Mr. Ehrman is ABOVE the Rest

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Mr. Ehrman's outstanding professional services. He was engaged in December 2024 to assist with a custody and divorce case, and he truly exceeded all expectations. Mr. Ehrman's dedication, passion, and thoroughness were evident throughout the process..., ultimately leading to a successful resolution. I am immensely grateful to have secured Mr. Ehrman's expertise. He quickly earned my trust by demonstrating his extensive knowledge and capability in managing a complex case. His assurances were consistently reinforced by his effective actions. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Ehrman and his experienced team. Their contributions were instrumental in achieving the desired outcome.

Go elsewhere!

I went looking up north for a good attorney in regards to child custody and support. The consultation seemed to go well with Mr. Ehrman but after paying my retainer I was CONSTANTLY in the dark throughout the whole process. I had to reach out to Mr. Ehrman or the secretaries in order to find out info...rmation about anything. One instance I was told I did not have to be present for that days court hearing. I was told by Mr. Ehrman that he would call me with the details afterward and I waited an entire week before I heard anything. I had to call the office MULTIPLE times to try and reach him myself. Another instance I was given the wrong zoom information for court by the office's secretary... My retainer ran out quickly and I was charged ridiculously for very little effort. Not worth the money in the slightest.

Run!!!

The review section is tremendously important when selecting a attorney, if you want the real reviews look through (Yelp) ! Reading the positive reviews on here either he recently slacked or these reviews are paid for I hired Doug in 2022 he talked a good game but did absolutely nothing for my case he... he didn't respond to motions in a timely manner and he's secretary is extremely rude , if you are a father definitely think twice before hiring him especially if you think you have a fight on your hands , Doug talks a good game before you hire him but once he gets your money the true attorney he is surfaces, if you have money to burn go with Doug if you are serious about your family law case you better think twice before hiring anyone from this firm!

Would Highly Recommend

I researched and interviewed a few different attorneys due to my complicated case and hired Doug after meeting with him. A friend recommended him. Doug was tremendous, he was calm, confident, reliable, strong, helpful, educated and responsive throughout the process. I would highly recommend him. I'...m grateful for his vast knowledge and service. I couldn't have gotten through it and gotten all I wanted and needed without him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
