"Doug is an excellent attorney who can assist his clients with a wide range of legal issues. Doug is also a fierce negotiator.

"I just attended a 2 day seminar with Douglas and one thing that impressed me about him was his focus. While other attorneys and attendees were multi tasking, it was evident that Douglas was at the seminar for a reason. I got the feeling that when he is working on behalf of a client, that client is getting everything that he has. I certainly will recommend his when I get asked about divorce attorneys in Denver."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
