Mr. Wright provided knowledge, compassion and successful resolutions for my grandmother as she lived the last phase of her life. His efforts allowed her to plan ahead while maintaining her dignity and focus on her health instead of worrying about her complex estate. He continues to provide expert legal advice as we transition and expand the family business. What was once a 'mess' is now a streamline, functioning and successful legacy that, thanks to thoughtful succession planning, will survive the transition to future generations.

I hired Doug when a real estate sale went bad for me. He got me everything I wanted plus some. Doug was heads and shoulders above the other lawyer and the best lawyer I've ever hired. I highly recommend Doug.

Mr. Wright is not only an intelligent and thoughtful lawyer, but he will go the extra mile both personally and professionally to make sure your case gets handled to the best of his ability. He has helped my fiance and I on numerous contracts and various legal questions, and has always given us the time, attention, and intelligence that a top notch lawyer should. You will be hard pressed to find a partner in a law firm that will go the extra mile like Douglas Wright does. I have worked with many different lawyers in the past 5 years and he is always my first call.
