Simply the BEST.

Getting my first DUI was terrifying. I didn't know what to expect. Doug Sherrod came highly recommended and did not disappoint. He immediately put me at ease and I knew instantly I was in good hands. He was extremely knowledgeable and effective and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome.... I was always able to reach him and he was very patient with all of my questions. With Mr. Sherrod behind you you can feel confident you're getting the best representation!

Relationship: Co-worker

"Doug and I worked together as prosecutors for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. He was one of the top lawyers in the office and was sought out to prosecute the most difficult and serious cases. As a privately retained attorney now, his clients get the benefit of that experience. He is a fantastic lawyer and a great person."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked closely with Mr. Sherrod when we were prosecutors handling some of the most serious cases in the District Attorney's office. In the largest prosecutorial agency in the nation, and after watching thousands of attorneys in the courtroom, I can unequivocally write that his courtroom and trial skills were unquestionably among the best that I have ever seen. On a high profile murder trial that we handled, Mr. Sherrod owned the courtroom with crisp and precise examinations of witnesses with a flair for the dramatic that left the jury fully entertained and satisfied. We rarely see actual "Perry Mason" moments in court, but with Mr. Sherrod at the helm, I have witnessed more than I can count. I wholeheartedly endorse him."

Relationship: Friend

"I've known Doug for 15 years. He's always been practical and persuasive. His calling was clearly trial work. I've seen him in front of a jury and it was impressive. I feel fortunate to now have him as my first call for any criminal defense-related matters. I would trust him 100% with any of my clients and would hire him for myself."

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.
