Best outcome he could've given me!

Doug was great! I had two charges; one major charged which he got dropped. I ended up with a very happy result & no fees at the end, no probation & my life back!

DWI

Doug Atkinson and his team did an absolutely amazing job for me! I can not recommend him highly enough! I truly feel like any other lawyer would have just taken a deal that was given and would have been done with my case. Mr. Atkinson refused to do that and continuously worked extremely hard to prove... my innocence in which he was 100% successful in doing. I can not tell you how much confidence I have in he and his team! I went through a great deal of stress in this situation and can not tell you how good it felt to have my case dismissed through his hard work. Again he is absolutely amazing! I will from this day forward recommend him to anyone that I know that needs help. I feel very strongly that he is the very best that there is! Do not waste time looking for another attorney.

WANT THE BEST LOOK NO WHERE ELSE

Doug is the best I was looking at a second offense and with his knowledge got all charges dropped if you need a lawyer to stand behind you all the way and give you 100 precent then don't waste your time looking around Doug and his team will take care of you I am very pleased with my outcome. JFG

DWI Dismissed

I had a struggling case, and with a previous background of different charge dismissals on my record, it was a lot tougher to get this DWI taken care of. Doug found every possible flaw in this case and a few days before trial, it got dismissed with a lesser charge of Wreckless Driving. Two thumbs up. ... -SD

Excellent Conclusion To The Case

The charges against my daughter were very serious. Knowing how diligently the DA in Montgomery County prosecutes even first time offenders had me very concerned about the outcome of her case. Doug remained positive and supportive about reducing the charges at the very least. I wanted to believe that... this would happen but her case involved another party and his participation in the matter. Doug had to deal with his lawyer and the DA - It could have been a nightmare. Doug kept us informed of the steps he was taking throughout the process and made my daughter feel as comfortable as possible. At the last hearing date I kept repeating my mantra of "misdemeanor or less" and they walked out of that courtroom with the biggest smiles saying the case had been dismissed!! YES! My daughter's nightmare was over and she will be able to have the whole case expunged! Now THAT is an excellent conclusion and I highly recommend Douglas Wayne Atkinson! I can't thank him enough!!
