Thank you

Doug's office was amazing. Every question and concern was addressed. I really felt like he was fighting for me and ultimately my case was dismissed. Thank you Doug Atkinson.

Worth Every Penny

Doug and his team did everything in their power to make sure I received the outcome I was looking for. They were always very helpful and also very informative, making sure I was always in the loop with what was going on and what to expect next. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a great attor...ney!

misdemeanor-B charges dismissed

I am thankful to god to have Attorney Douglas and his team of professionals to work on my case. I cannot thank Mr. Douglas and his team enough for his hard work and commitment to my case. He is a very professional from start to finish of my case. He has a down to earth personality. I was facing misd...emeanor-B charges but with Mr. Doug's depth knowledge and hard work he was able to get the charges completely dismissed. I will highly recommend Attorney Douglas and his professional team for any legal issues. Thank you very much Mr. Douglas and your team.

Excellent

After facing a charge that seemed like the end for me, Doug not only assured me and my family that they would work hard to get the best outcome, but he delivered on that promise. My case is now dismissed and moving onto an expunction. I will never regret my decision to hire Doug and his team.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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. It's rare when judges, district attorneys, and the defense bar all agree on one thing--and they all recognize that Doug Atkinson is a fantastic criminal defense lawyer!"

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Avvo Rating

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.
