I was charged with a felony that I had admitted to, and thought there was no possible way of getting my charges even reduced. Within my first court date Doug got it dropped down to a misdemeanor but refused to take it because he knew he could get it dropped completely. I failed my drug tests on felon...y bond, so I was sure I was doomed for jail. At my next court date Doug got my whole case dismissed and my 7 weeks in hell were over that quickly! I couldn't believe how diligently him and his team worked on my case to give me such good results after not even 2 months. Would highly recommend him to anyone ever in any kind of legal trouble.

Doug Atkinson was professional and thorough. I felt that he was committed to exploring all options and helping my family weigh the choices. What stands out is that he was straight forward. He made sure that we knew where we stood; never "sugar coating" the situation. In that way, we could make in...formed choices.

Attorney Doug Atkinson represented my husband and the interests of our family in a professional, thorough, and prompt manner that reflected the high quality of his education and experience, as he displayed an effectiveness at being well-versed in the law, and worked long hours on behalf of my husband... not only as his client, but as a father, husband, and a son to those of us who love him. There was absolutely no judgement or criticism, nor did he ever display a fear of failure. His success is exemplified clearly in his credentials but also by the integrity and character that he projected in every phone call, e-mail, and face to face meeting held with my husband and the members of our family. Attorney Atkinson and those who work at his firm did an impeccable job of maintaining an open-line of communication both in verbal and written form. They spent a great deal of time working in connection with not only my husband, but those of us working for his interests on the outside. It is clear that Attorney Atkinson approaches his career with a passion and a purpose, in a selfless and professional manner that exemplifies his success’ as a Trial Lawyer of the Year, and a five-star attorney in our book!

I came to Doug Atkinson one year ago. I was really nervous and frustrated with the situation and he put me and my entire family at ease immediately. We had interviewed several lawyers but they just didn't compare to Doug. We all walked out his office confident, hopeful and even more educated. Doug n...ever made any grandiose promises- he was a straight shooter from the beginning. Over the next few months he was always working hard to win my case and even though I know he had other cases, I felt like I was his only client. He was always professional, courteous and quick to respond to any of my questions no matter what time it was. Doug fought hard and I walked away with amazing results. I walked away with the lightest sentence I could have possibly received! I highly recommend Douglas Atkinson. He is the the best defense lawyer in Texas.
