I highly recommend attorney Douglas Griess. My husband and I hired Doug when we sold our home. Doug is knowledgeable, experienced, and trustworthy. As an attorney myself, I appreciated being represented by one of the best.
The firm of Hackstaff and Snow have always gone above and beyond in every aspect of service, professionalism, ethics, human decency, caring and performance. If you are looking for a legitimate law firm who has your over all best interest at heart, this is the team for you!
I have had my share of dealings with “fly by night”, “wet behind the ear”, “out for fast a buck” firms. The people I have dealt with at Hackstaff and Snow are genuine people who care about their clients and are completely honest with you about how to proceed with your case.
They were recommended to me by a friend and the case I presented to them was terribly complex. They were able to break in down into bite size changes I could understand in layman’s terms. Then they executed perfectly on the plan they laid out with all the correct legalese, every “i” dotted and every “t” crossed.
I could not recommend any firm higher. Long story short, this will be my family’s firm from now on.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Having worked across the table from Doug on a piece of litigation years ago, I appreciated his legal knowledge and talent. I still refer him business that's outside of our wheelhouse on a regular basis, and I even look to him for advice on cases. When I send him business, I'm always confident that he will give all that is necessary to accomplish the goal. Doug is thoughtful, conscientious and tenacious. I highly recommend him."
