Personal injury case
Received excellent representation after waiting and consulting with multiple attorneys prior to a final settlement . Provided support and clear analysis of conditions around my case so that I could feel confident in making an informed decision regarding my case.
"What makes Michael a great attorney is his compassion for clients and his strong desire to out-think and out-work everyone on the other side. He carefully goes over each approach in a case until he's found the exact method to get the most benefit for the injured individual. He's the kind of attorney I'd want to represent me if I were injured. I consider him a great friend and masterful advocate. A+"
"Michael Douglass-Harris is an outstanding lawyer and more importantly, an outstanding person. He worked for me for a couple of years in Santa Ana, California and his work ethic and commitment to to our firm's clients was not only unparalleled, it was also genuine. When working with Michael, I always got the sense the he genuinely cared about our clients and wanted to do what is right for them. Since he has moved to Colorado, we have kept in contact and I am proud that he has continued to grow and become a stronger attorney.
