Doug Atkinson recently handled a complex criminal case that had the possibility of severe prison time. Doug was extremely responsive and provided excellent advice. His thorough investigation of the facts surrounding the case and his defense on my behalf got the charges dismissed. His advice was st...raightforward and he discussed the ramifications of the case directly. Doug provided sound legal advice and his staff was also extremely diligent and professional in all respects.

I retained Doug Atkinson for my representation for a misdemeanor. During my first consultation Doug and staff seemed eager to fight my case to the very end. It stopped there. Sylvia was difficult to work with and non-communicative, in addition to being rude verbally and with body language. Doug i...s clearly quite intelligent, however he had very little to do with my case. I paid a lot of money to hire Doug, not his assistants. That was not communicated. I was treated as if I knew what was going on, often had to push to make recommendations, and essentially tell them what I expect without given options. Had I not done my own independent research, I'm not sure what would have been accomplished. They weren't interested in pushing boundaries and instead pointed to case law themselves and accepted it as fact, without entertaining the idea of challenging the case.
