Zealous Advocate

I am a defense attorney that worked against Doug on a lemon law case. He was a strong advocate for his client, demonstrated a thorough understanding of the case as well as relevant law, and was also very effective in front of a tough judge. I would recommend him to any plaintiff in a lemon law case....

It's always nice to get recommendations from an attorney representing the other side. That's a true gentlemen!

Great Experience

Doug and his team are professional, expedient, and friendly. But best of all, they deliver great results. I had been having serious problems with my car, and as a lawyer myself, I knew a little bit about lemon law, but only enough to get me in trouble. After speaking to Doug, he ran me through... the process, asked me all the questions he needed, and I engaged him to represent me in my case. Doug is very easy to reach, and responsive (and patient) when it comes to inquiries. Also, he's been doing this type of work for a while now, so he knows exactly what to do and how to navigate the process, tailored to the specific car companies. It was only a matter of about 3 months before I had a check in my hand from my car-company. I'm extremely happy with the result, and couldn't be happier with my experience overall. I hope that I won't have to deal with a lemon again, but if I do, I will not hesitate. I will go straight to Doug Sohn.
