I am a grateful attorney. More importantly, I am a grateful sister. Doug represented by brother, who suffers from Schizoaffective Disorder, in two criminal offenses in the past year, including a felony charge. Prison is not a place of treatment. It is not an appropriate place for people with serious ...mental illnesses. Because of Doug's representation, my brother will be able to get the help he needs. He has a chance for an improved quality of life, rather than facing the deterioration inevitably resulting from incarceration + serious mental illness. My brother is not an easy person. He was not an easy client. But he is loved. As an attorney, and a loving sister, I am grateful to Doug for the quality of the representation he provided. He did not just save my brother from prison. He very well may have saved his life. Hopefully we will not require his services in the future, but I am glad we were able to receive his services in the past.

Mr Atkinson took the time to assure me of all my options that i had. He was straight forwardt and honest with me through the entire process. He guided me in making the best decision that was best for me. Going into a trial situation can be a very scary process, but he was right there with me and did ...his job to the max. He is a professional across the board and will do everything in his power to get you the result you want. If i ever need a solid attorney again i will definately use Mr Atkinson.

My case difficult, complex and seemingly to end in a very bad, life altering result. Mr. Atkinson was reffered to me by my original attorney who - thankfully - was not prideful enough to admit that Doug was the go to man for my type of case in the county it was based in. Doug and his staff were not o...nly very professional but also very diligent, honest and effecient. I will forever be indebted to Mr. Atkinson and his entire staff for their work and subsequent result in my case.

After first meeting Douglas and his team I realized they were professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable about the law as it pertained to my case. My case had lasted over two years and I was well informed throughout that lengthy process. During this time I got to know Douglas and felt he genui...nely cared about my case and the outcome. Doug and his team worked tirelessly to ensure they were well prepared for my case. My case was not any easy case, however with Doug's hard work, vast knowledge of the law and dedication I had won my case and found Not guilty. I would not have entrusted any other attorney to handle my case. I would recommend Atkinson and Associates to friends and family.
