This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Prospective client

Attorney Thayer asked me to tell him what I was looking for in our case. I began to explain how our civil rights had been violated and referenced actions and actionable documents when Doug interrupted me. Doug then proceeded to tell me that I seemed too interested in having the case done my way inste...ad of his way and said he wasn’t interested. I was simply answering his original question of what I was looking to have done.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Everything you could ask for in an attorney!

Mr. Thayer was 100% straight forward and honest from the very start. Once I was able to confirm that he would represent me, my first appointment was sooner than I had expected. After going over my upcoming criminal matter for a mistermeanor drug charge, I appreciated that he told me the very real, po...ssibility of me being convicted and incarcerated. His personal knowledge and experience in law put your worries at ease. Very confident in the law but still very humble and down to earth in regards to our interactions and how he made ME feel as his client...AND as a human being! Mr. Thayer seemed to have a proffesional AND personal rapport with prosecutor, judge, clerks and even the bailiff! It took a lot of weight off my shoulders having a real pro on my side. He really knows his stuff. If you are able to retain Mr. Thayer as your attorney, DO NOT miss your opportunity to feel like your getting the same level of representation as any A-list celebrity, or multi-millionaire seen on the news. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome to my case. Much better than I had anticipated. A true master of his craft! Quite refreshing. 10.5⭐/ 10⭐ **highly recommend**
