Over the past 10 years, Doug has helped me with several legal matters, both personal and corporate--everything from preparing my will to drafting and negotiating a cell tower lease to advice on a corporate fraud case, and other matters in between. You will not find a more reputable attorney than Doug. He is diligent, brilliant on a broad range of matters, and impeccably honest. An important thing for me as a small business owner is that Doug is always sensitive to the cost/benefit of his work. He will also tell you upfront if a subject does not fall under his expertise and will recommend an attorney he feels can best handle it. I highly recommend Doug Uloth.

President/CEO - Manufacturing Industry
As the owner of a small business, hiring a lawyer to represent you can be an extremely stressful ordeal. Doug Uloth went out of his way to ensure not only my own understanding of the law, but also my staff who worked with him. He was courteous as well as confident with his knowledge of my case. I have worked with Doug on several things over the last few years and would not hesitate to highly recommend him to others.

Excellent, sound advice and great communication
James helped me navigate a complex legal issue with my startup company, providing me with valuable insight that reflects his many years of practicing law. He was professional and very timely in his communication, and I really appreciated his quick turnaround given the limited time I had to deal with the matter.

Dough Uloth
Doug did an excellent job in both explaining the circumstances around the law suit and designing the defense of the suit. Doug was very specific in laying out the details and gave great advice as to next steps as the suit progressed. he was very professional at all times and his demeanor was relaxed but extremely informative. all though the process was enduring it was a comfort to know he was my council. I became more confident as the process unfolded. Doug also was very upfront about the expense of this suit and was very time sensitive and constantly managed expenses. Overall very knowledgably, communicative, responsive, while being supportive.
