Doug McKeague has been working with me to handle my divorce and custody case. He has demonstrated the utmost integrity, respect and professionalism while working with me. I highly respect him for his diligence, exceptional dedication and work ethic. Doug knows the law, the system and always has mine and my children's best interest in mind. While in court, it is evident that he is highly respected by his colleagues, as well as by the court house officials. Throughout my divorce, he has won every issue on my behalf. Doug has always spoken to me with the truth and has never painted unrealistic expectations of any outcome. He takes pride in his work and is meticulous. Best decision, I have ever made. I highly recommend Doug!
Doug handled my divorce with style and grace. He pressed when necessary and laid back when appropriate. I found the laws to be onesided and Doug took the time to explain the laws. He was the quarterback and allowed me to change our tact when I felt it best suited the situation. His fees are reasonable and I still use him as our settlement evolves.
I highly recommend having Doug on your side and fighting for you!

Outstanding Service
“Doug was exceptional at getting me a justified and fair resolution to a complex stipulated agreement related to my divorce. If you are looking for a family attorney who will be honest, intelligent and strategically aggressive; then Doug is deserving of your utmost consideration. Before you incur inordinate amount of expenses with larger firms that bill frivolously, you would be wise to consult with Doug. Doug’s savvy, years of experience and proven performance was a difference maker for my case.”

Excellent Attorney
Doug was upfront, concise, knowledgeable, and painted an accurate picture of what to expect. I remember seeing the look on the other attorneys face when I walked in with Doug and it was priceless. Furthermore I appreciated his direct nature what he said was what you got. I was truly thankful to work with him and highly recommend him.

Brilliant, Ethical and Caring
Doug McKeague represented me during my recent divorce and financial settlement. He worked with the utmost integrity while protecting me and my assets during a very stressful process. Mr. McKeague knows the law, the system and how to best protect his clients interest, all the while giving sound, professional, moral advice that kept me grounded during a very difficult ordeal. I can't speak highly enough about this gentlemen and would recommend him to anyone having to suffer thru legal battles in the family law environment.
Thank you for all your help!!!

Best guy when you need him
Divorce truly is a terrible experience. On top of the emotional turmoil, I think it is most people's intro and perhaps only experience with the court system. It was made much more bearable because Doug was my lawyer. He doesn't try to spur litigation but if you need to get ready for war, he's the guy that you want. Very knowledgable and able to keep me focused on what needed to be done to prepare. Highly recommend.

Doug is an honest, fair, and knowledgeable divorce lawyer. He kept me focused on the big picture and did not let me get side tracked with petty arguments that would have run up my bill. He continually went above and beyond for me. I have and will continue to recommend his services to the people I care about.

A man that will fight for you through the hardest time in your life !!
After retiring from 32 years of work I found myself going through a divorce. I searched for a lawyer and found Douglas McKeague. I am so very please that he is a man that cares about his clients and through the hard times when I wanted to give up and throw in the towel he has stayed by my side and promised not to give up on me and my case. I am very pleased with his knowledge and follow through and his 30 plus years of experience. If you are in need of an experienced lawyer to represent you I recommend that you call Mr. Douglas McKeague.

A lot of value for the money
I found Doug through a recommendation from a co-worker. I quickly liked him from the start when he gave me advice on settling a matter with my ex-wife in what would have been an efficient and less costly process. Unfortuately she was stubborn and combative. But not to worry as Doug stepped right up to the plate and handled the situation in a very professional and experienced manner. And when it came down to the settlement he drafted a an extremely strong stipulation order that gave no loopholes or leeway with my ex-wife to consider. His pricing is very reasonable and he uses today's technology to communicate which makes it easy.

Excellence, compassion and highly effective
One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was “go see Doug McKeague” during a very tumultuous separation. Emotionally, physically and spiritually – I was broken from a very unhealthy marriage. Doug agreed to represent me in the divorce, but he was far more than an attorney. He was my advocate; my counsel, my most trusted advisor.
Given my health decline, I just wanted ‘out’ of the marriage and gave little thought as to the legal or fiscal consequences. Doug ensured that my interests were protected, my integrity preserved. His warm, calm and professional demeanor instilled trust and confidence. In the courtroom, his superior knowledge of the law became evident as we won every motion, every decision . . . every time.
Had it not been for Doug’s representation, I would not have had the opportunity to regain my health. I would not have had the opportunity to return to school, obtain a Master’s Degree and Registered Nurse licensure. I would not be in a Doctoral Program, or teaching at a major university. Doug ensured that my interests were protected at a time when I could not protect my own; he navigated the legal system with precision and expertise, for which I remain most grateful.
Should you find yourself in need of legal family law representation, let me pay forward a pivotal piece of advice . . . “go see Doug McKeague”. It might just be the best decision you ever make – as was the case for yours truly.

Mr. McKeague delivered a 100% win for me and he worked with me every step of the way............
I would recommend Mr. McKeague`s services to anyone going through a difficult divorce or family law matter. My case was complex, as I was living overseas and needed the court to enforce the original orders to allow my children to come to live with me. My ex-husband was blocking me physically and financially from both support and my time with my kids. My attorney took a chaotic situation and clarified it perfectly for the court. He represented me with confidence and great knowledge of legal precedent which was directly applicable to my situation. What I was most impressed with was Mr. McKeague`s presence in court. When the other attorney tried to distract the court from the actual issues at hand, Mr. Mckeague consistently refocused the court and blew through the `smoke and mirrors` attempted by the other side. Mr. Mckeague delivered a 100% win for me and he worked with me every step of the way, so I never felt scared or alone in the process. Mr. Mckeague truly went above and beyond what was required to win the case; I would say he also helped me to be able to anticipate and handle each step along the way. I am truly grateful to have had his expertise on my side.
