EXCELLENT, AGGRESSIVE AND KNOWS HIS BUSINESS!!!

I hired Mr. York to represent me in a divorce. My husband's attorney tried to "low ball" me and Mr. York stood by thick and thin to get me a massive settlement! He was always concerned about my wellbeing, and made sure I was informed and taken care of through the whole process. My husband told me... after the divorce that he wished I would of hired a "less aggressive" lawyer. Ha! Mr. York knew how to handle complex financial issues and would not quit until I was satisfied. If you want someone to keep you informed at all times, and someone that crosses his "T's" and dots his "I's" it's him. I will ABSOLUTELY recommend him to my friends!

Douglas York is a great attorney.

Douglas has been appointed by the Judge to represent my kids twice. He has done an outstanding job of doing so while keeping his legal fees within reason. He meet with each of my children individually and acted in their best interest without revealing what had been discussed with each child. He alway...s conducted himself in a professional manner and adhered to the highest level of integrity and ethics. My only regret is that now I can't hire him to represent me.

BEST LAWYER IN TEXAS

Mr York is fantastic. I terminated 2 family law certified attorney's before I hired him to represent my daughter in a custody case. If you want the big guns then use Doug York. If you want to win then use Doug York! He is AGGRESIVE, proffesional, trustworthy, knowledgeble and a good man! He won us so...le custody, step up visitation plan and $20,000.00 in attorney fees!!!! If you want a shark he's the one to hire. Doug is fair, he doesn't bill you needlessly for meetings not needed. He has changed my opinion about attorneys. I would never want to go up against him in court. During trial he shredded the deadbeat dad and it was like something you see on tv. He was our angel. I reccomend him and would be happy to speak with you in person to tell you what a rock star he is!!!!!!!!

A+ Lawyer!

Mr. York aggressively fought for me throughout my whole case, and always kept me informed every step of the way. His office was fully equipped to handle my very complex and highly contentious divorce against my husband in our child custody case. He never backed down and never gave up. I cannot t...hank him enough for all of his hard work.

Great attorney - definitely would use again

Mr. York handled my family law case very professionally and quickly. Things could not have gone smoother, and me did exactly what he said he would do. I am very pleased with the results, and would recommend him to anyone needing a good family law attorney.
