This guy is lazy, dumb and a waste of money

Doug is absolutely worthless. Somehow after multiple conversations, he managed to forget all the basic information I told him when he appeared in Court. I was shocked he was unable to get me off but was really frustrated since he acted clueless about multiple conversations we had. These other reviews... are obviously from friends bc I am a real paying customer with real facts. Go somewhere else for legal help.

Great Attorney

Doug took care of a few traffic tickets for both myself and my wife. He always kept me informed, took care of everything within the promised timelines and an overall pleasure to deal with

Los Angeles County municipal court - Doug Birns - Excellent service a real pro!

I got a "fix it" ticket that turned out to be a nightmare! The Los Angeles County municipal court had NO WAY to talk to anyone. When they did not get my registration update in time, they gave me an $800 bail and started procedures to suspend my license (plus could not get new court date for 6 month...s!!). Doug Birns stepped in and told me not to worry, his team went to work and fixed EVERYTHING. He kept me posted and updated on next steps. Luckily I never had to make any trips to LA to resolve. Cannot recommend him more highly!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
