Great Lawyer

Helped me with my divorce. The only thing is I wish he was more time management friendly. I felt like everything dragged out for so long and I don’t know if that was on him or my ex’s attorney or the court but it was longer than I anticipated.

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.

The worst of the worst

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!!
