This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Satisfied

I had a need to do my will. Douglas also recommended I create a Living Trust, which I did. His fees are very reasonable, and his action were shift. I am very satisfied with the services I received and glad all my assets are now protected in the Living Trust.

A great lawyer and a great friend

I have known Doug for over 4 years and I would highly recommend him. I encountered a number of problems with my construction business due to the recession. Doug not only helped me out of trouble I found myself in but helped me get back on track. He is a great attorney and a great businessman.

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.
