The Best, Period.

Doug is the best criminal defense attorney in the Bay Area. He is super smart, hard working, compassionate and unbelievably prepared. Doug succesfully defended me against terrible false accusations and then turned the tables on my accuser and was instrumental in securing, what I am told, one of the... largest sanctions in the history of Alameda County. If you have been accused of anything very serious and/or potentially life-altering, Doug is the attorney you want on your side.

VERY THROUGH AND EXPERIENCED, COMPASSIONATE TO CLIENTS

I have been a client of Doug twice. I cannot say enough about how through he is! Doug is your best investigator and attorney. He is able to get the truth to work in your behalf. He does not hold back when it comes to malicious prosecution! Doug is CLEARLY an ADVOCATE for the people and a Caring Soul ...as well. He is very easy to get in touch with and returns phone calls same day! In may many dealings with attorneys, just the facts he is readily available is worth your representation. On a personal note, if it were not for Doug and his office team, my family member would have been in prison many years on "false charges" Doug we could never thank you enough for our family!

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.
