Knowledgeable, Friendly, and Results-Driven

I hired Douglas Huff with Hamilton Grant after interviewing 4 attorneys following my arrest for a serious DWI with a high BAC. I was devastated, embarrassed, and disappointed in myself. I never thought that in my mid-30s with a husband and children at home I would find myself in such a scary and ...unfamiliar situation. Doug spent extra time talking with me about the case, answered my many questions, and asked me several detailed questions of his own. Having worked in another area of the legal field for 10 years, I had a high expectation that Hamilton Grant was able to meet and exceed. The legal team is knowledgeable in their field, accessible to address questions and concerns, friendly, professional, compassionate, organized, and results-driven. With their help, I was able to retain my driver's license for the 21-month period between my arrest and the final hearing in my case. I was also able to avoid going to jail. Perhaps equally important, it was during this time that I decided to stop drinking alcohol. When I spoke to Doug periodically about my case, he'd also ask how my treatment was going. I sincerely appreciated that he cared about my well-being as well as my case. I can hindsight and realize that the lessons I learned and the sobriety I gained over the course of the 21 months that this case pended are something I cannot put a price tag on. I am truly grateful for Doug and Cheryl's help.

Excellent defense attorney!

I was very pleased with my representation from Doug Huff and his firm. He took the time to thoroughly explain the court process, as well as my options along the way and possible outcomes. Being located out of state, he was also especially helpful in minimizing the times I had to physically appear i...n court. Ultimately, he negotiated a plea deal for me that reduced my felony charge to a misdemeanor with probation and deferred adjudication. All things considered, this was a very good outcome and I consider myself fortunate to have had him on my side throughout my case.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

He is more than a lawyer.

Two of my step daughters were disciplined by me for peeing on themselves. One being 14 and the other 9 at the time. them telling me they liked doing it led to them getting spanked. unbeknownst to me i left marks. I was charged with 2 felonies for child endangerment. Douglas immediately went to wor...k. I was a long process but he kept me included in everything. I had to leave the home until my case was dropped. during this time my mother died and Doug made me feel at ease even at my worst time. I am so glad that i considered him to be my lawyer. I do not know where i would be if he was not. I am now back in the home working diligently on bettering the relationship with my daughters. I am grateful for Doug. Both felonies were dropped within the year. A home run.

Phenomenal Attorney

To make a long complicated story short, Douglas was able to get my felony case dismissed. This was never something I expected. He got this dismissed in a very short period as well. I would use Douglas again and would refer him to my friends and family any day of the week. I truly cannot say enough ki...nd things about Douglas. Hire him today, you will not be sorry.....

Great guidance through a tough time

I was so incredibly upset about my situation. At every step of the way Douglas kept me informed and assured me that he would get me through this hard time, that was exactly what happened. I am happy to say I am through the worst of it with his help. He kept me sane and took calls and emails at all... times, day/night/weekends as well.
