Great Experience

I hired Devina to help me clear an old issue and ultimately get my record expunged. Devina was really upbeat, responsive, and made me feel relaxed through an otherwise daunting process. My initial court date cleared the open case. After filing to expunge the rest of my cases, I was told to "come back... in two years" before the court would grant expungement. Devina made herself available for any questions I had during the two years I waited to reappear before the court and provided me answers even when it meant doing some leg work on her end. Last month my expungement for the remainder of my cases was granted. Yay! Overall, Devina was a pleasure to work with. It is clear she is in this profession because she cares about people.

Judges you before your.........

Stay away. Devina tries to play God. And she has no empathy or compassion. Solely wants your money.

Highly recommend this attorney

Devina is a cut above, an attorney with a heart! She navigates the court room with grace, ease and beauty and was the absolute best choice to handle our situation. My son could not have been in better hands. I will always be grateful to this amazing woman for her kindness and expertise. She is a...n outstanding attorney!

Best money I ever spent

My 18 year old son had a bad night and made a stupid mistake that ended up in a misdemeanor criminal charge. After trying to figure out how to navigate the court system on my own, I decided it would be best to hire a lawyer. We hired Devina through a referral service and it was the best decision ever.... After a couple of initial phone calls, she handled everything. My son was in a program out of the area. Bottom line she was able to get the case dropped and removed from his record which was our ultimate goal. If you can do it, I highly recommend getting an attorney, who is knowledgeable about the system, to handle your case, even if it's a minor one. It saved us many sleepless nights. I most highly recommend Devina Douglas.

Such a caring and wonderful lawyer

Devină Douglas took a mundane case that was stuck in the court for months because of ethnic reasons and was finally able to get a judgement to dismiss the case. She is an excellent lawyer and a fine person. Most important, I trusted her withy case and felt no anxiety once she was on board. I would... ld recommend here to anyone.

  • 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.
