Douglas Charles Scovil

Doug represented me in a DUI case and I was told he was the best..LOL. He came across as very knowledgable and in control but as I learned later it was just a ploy to charge high fees. In short he was completely rude every time I spoke to him, demanded money for an upcoming trial he had already cha...nged the date on unbeknownst to me then held my money for 7 months but not before he called a court date to try to fire me as his client because I questioned his ethics. When I finally read the police reports and realized that the police had absolutely zero probable cause to ask me for a breathylyzer it was too late as he had told me repeatedly that there was plenty of probable cause..he wanted my trial money and whatever else he could get. His staff is totally incompetent and if you point it out to him he tells you to get a new lawyer if you don't like it. This man should be disbarred and if I had time to pursue that avenue I would. DO NOT USE THIS GUY!!

I had a divorce with a business involved and he did not execute due diligence to reasonably appraise the businesses and the properties. He lacked competence. During meetings, I asked questions but he did not do anything, like request interrogatories to the other side. When I requested a meeting to... prepare for the trial, his office denied the request, but when a Caucasian friend called and asked for a meeting, she got a meeting right away. He did not explain that the petition filing had a statute of limitation and therefore the trial could not be continued, just that it could not be continued. My former husband told me that he paid-off Scovil, while I was also still paying bills from Scovil. Scovil held up (sat on) my alimony payments my former husband had made until just before the statute of limitations expired. Finally, I did all the preparation work and they did not do any. After I fired Scovil he refused to return my documents to me so that I could prepare for trial.
