Habitual criminal

I strongly recommend Douglas Atkinson. As a habitual criminal facing 25- life while on parole also for possession of a firearm by a felon, I didn't think much could be done but Douglas Atkinson and Mike really did everything they could for me getting my cases "DISMISSED" and getting my parole rein...stated . I will forever be thankful for he's services. Douglas Atkinson and the staff are very professional and will take very good care of you.

If you want results, call Doug

I was facing a DWI 3rd felony charge & I was looking for a good lawyer for representation. I had heard a lot of good things about Doug from reading the online reviews. I don't want to get into too many details on my case, but Doug was a huge help. He answered all my questions in a timely manner and w...as very professional. We watched the video together & he was able to get a dismissal due to an unlawful stop. Also, the Officer that pulled me over, never showed up to the ALR Hearing, so my license was never suspended. I honestly don't know if I could have received the same results if I had hired a different Lawyer. Montgomery County is terrible about DWI's. Doug is an experienced Lawyer, that will do a fair amount of due diligence to find any breaks in the case. If you want the best lawyer in MOCO, call Doug!

The Very Best Outcome

If you are thinking what I thought a few months ago when I hired Douglas Atkinson’s Firm: How can this guy have so many 5-star reviews? Is it legit? Is he really that good? Well, I can personally tell you that, Mr. Atkinson (and his team) are not just good, they are the BEST! I was hit with a DWI #... 2 late last year. And oh yeah, it also came with a possession of a controlled substance and an unlawful carry of a firearm. So, as you can imagine- my world was crushed! All of my future plans came to a screeching halt. Well, after several months (and a lot of stress), ALL 3 of my charges were dismissed. ALL 3!! Douglas Atkinson and his team are on a different level than the other attorneys in the courtroom. Do you want your best chance to fight the Montgomery County legal system? Then do yourself a favor and hire Douglas Atkinson! Really.

The Best Attorney!

The best decision I made was hiring Douglas Atkinson. I risked losing my career and freedom. I hired Doug because my first attorney wanted me to plea guilty. He looked out for my best interest from the start. He is an expert on criminal law and fought for me all the way through trial which he won...! Later when I needed assistance again, I didn’t hesitate to give him a call. His highly strategic and tenacious approach to my second case resulted in a dismissal, and without a trial. Doug’s reputation as being the best is truly accurate. He will give you his all and will work incredibly hard to try to achieve the best results for you. He is professional and personable and makes himself available 24/7 by text. I cannot say enough about how truly grateful I am that I chose Doug to be my lawyer. He cared about what happened to me, he kept me informed throughout the process, and he achieved the outcomes I was hoping for and needing. Once you have been through the fire with someone you know who they are and he will give you his all. I consider him not only my lawyer but my friend.

Dismissed Case

Doug is a great defense attorney. He wants the best outcome for his clients. Doug was able to get my 3rd degree felony dismissed in a short period of time. I would highly recommend Doug and his law firm to represent anyone for any defense!

"Doug Atkinson is the go to criminal defense lawyer in Montgomery County, and elsewhere. Doug is one of the hardest working and caring lawyers I know. His passion and tireless defense has led to outstanding results for his clients that very few lawyers are able to obtain. I have co-counseled cases with Doug on many occasions and have always been impressed with his legal acumen, well thought out strategy, and determination to work through difficult legal issues. Doug is a consummate professional, and always honest and straight forward in his approach.

"Doug Atkinson is one of the top DWI trial lawyers in Montgomery County. He is one the most prepared lawyers and is fearless in trial. I tried a tough DWI case against him when I was a prosecutor in Montgomery County. He was organized, professional, and aggressively fought for his client. He was by far one of the toughest lawyers I've ever gone up against. Doug always works hard to defend his clients. He puts his clients first. You can't go wrong with hiring him to represent you. I highly recommend Doug to any person in need of a criminal defense attorney."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
