Helped me avoid litigation
Doug did a fantastic job helping me with a CC&R's dispute. By preparing to and demonstrating our ability to defend ourselves legally we were able to avoid expensive litigation and deescalate a volatile situation. I would whole heartedly recommend Doug to friends and family.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2018.
Public Reprimand issued in UT, 2018
updated on 11/16/2018This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Douglas’s comment:
“In 2015, Doug represented a young couple that bought a new home from a builder. The day after closing, the builder cancelled the contract and tried to evict the couple. In a pleading, Doug mistakenly stated that the couple was a "titled owner" of the property instead of an "equitable" owner. Mr. Shumway twice corrected the misstatement to the court.
