Best Trial Attorney arounnd

Doug Jewell represented me in a complex criminal case in which false charges were filed against me, a police officer. In 31 years of law enforcement experience, I have never seen a better trial attorney. Doug was extremely detail oriented and missed nothing. In the court room, he was able to artic...ulately make reasonable arguments and examine witnesses thoroughly. His trial preparation was excellent and he was responsive to all of my needs and ideas. He successfully argued numerous motions hearings and was extremely knowledgeable in every area of case law that applied to my case. Throughout the months it took to resolve my case, Doug was always available for consultation and court appearances. All of his advice was extremely valuable and on point. I would recommend Doug to anyone who is in need of an experienced, intelligent attorney.

Excellent Law Skills

Doug was great and his knowledge of the law was outstanding. He was able to get my case dropped without any problems. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends if they ever needed a good lawyer.

Doug

Doug is an honest straight forward kind of guy. Doug jumps right in with both feet and is diligent. He stood by my side until my case was dropped. I personally would recommend Doug to anyone wanting a champion by there side to defend there rights.
