Very sharp attorney and gets everything he can for you

Doug is a honest, humble, busy, hardworking, "tell it like it is" kind of guy. All of my meetings were brief and straight to the point, he took everything I gave him and knew exactly what I was talking about(saves money) we barely spoke, not even 15 mins at most appointments sometimes. However he kn...ows what he's doing and if he has questions he will call you. I had a divorce and child custody hearing. I brought him all the documents needed and he was on my side the entire time and delivered results. He knows how to negotiate and not scared to walk into the courtroom for you either, if things can't be settled pretrail. Doug looks out for his clients. If you are prepared he is prepared. I am so thankful for him, his knowledge, and confidence. His staff is pretty helpful too they are just a really busy place because.... they know what they're doing. Thank you again Mr. Scovill.

EXCELLENT

I wish I could give Doug and his staff 10 plus stars. I hired Doug the first time I spoke with him. He always returned my calls and was completely prepared for whatever came our way. His staff is always kind and very helpful. I couldn't thank Doug enough for what he has done for me and my family. He ...is well worth every dime. He is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with. I would recommend him to anyone; he will fight for you and your rights and protect your children.

Divorce/??????

Doug is a great attorney, I justed started my divorce but he's a great man to work with. His staff is very rude and untrustworthy. He has been thru alot of staff members lately since he took my case on and I love him to pieces. He was sick and in the hospital and I cried my eyes out for GOD to heal h...im and he received a speedy recovery now GOD answered my prayers so he will answer mine. My husband lied in court and so did his father who testified and we didn't know he was going to have witnesses and we both were blindsided. But Henry County is so crooked that shows what money buys in this county, this is the opinion of one woman, I feel sorry for alot of people that probably lost cases because of this reason. I lost my lil gift from GOD for the above reasons on a temporary basis.

Great Lawyer

Doug was a great lawyer and got me everything I wanted in my divorce in a very resonable time. He is hard to read, and doesn't show much compassion, but I believe he is that way because he can't get attached to his cases. His staff was great to work with. He is expensive, but well worth the money.
