Professional and understanding

From our first meeting Doug not only addressed the financial recovery aspect of the case but also allowed me to explain the emotions that I was dealing with as a result of unfair treatment by my employer of 30 years. In doing so he kept me on track and focused on the facts of the case. He guided the ...process from the start and as a result I was able to recover 100% of the financial loss that was due from my former employer. I highly recommend Doug as a lawyer who (expertly) understands the financial and legal side of a case while at the same time recognizing that the client likely brings emotion to the table that could cloud the desired outcome. Well done Doug and thank you.

Doug Wilson is a superb lawyer and fought hard for me

I was involved in an commercial accident lawsuit as the defendant. I was recommended to Doug from a close family friend (also an attorney) whose opinion I greatly value. Doug handled my case like a master chess player. He dealt brilliantly with the insurance company and the opposing counsel and gave ...me frequent updates. I enjoyed talking to him and always felt as though he was in control of the situation which gave me great comfort. I would not want to be an insurance company opposing Mr. Wilson. My endorsement of Doug is that I have recommended him to a family member and would, without hesitation, call him in the future should I need him. A+

Doug Wilson is a fantastic attorney

It is my pleasure to recommend Doug Wilson to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. My case was beyond difficult and involved many unpleasant twist and turns, including two spine surgeries. Doug's professionalism and being the excellent lawyer that he is, he was able to reach the highest o...ffer possible, allowing us to settle outside of a trial. As I reflect upon the last five years as my case has been unfolding with Doug at the helm, I am sincerely thankful that Doug was my legal advocate. Not only am I convinced that Doug is an excellent attorney but there is no question in my mind that he is also an awesome person with great integrity.

Great lawyer!

I hired Doug after I was involved in a car accident. Things were very stressful for me, but Doug, time and again, set my mind at ease over everything that was happening. In the middle of our case, my family moved overseas. Doug was good with communication and scheduling around time differences and tr...ips back to the USA. He worked hard to negotiate a good settlement without me having to go into litigation. I really appreciate that Doug is personable, kind and respectful at all times. I trust him and would highly recommend his services!

Doug Wilson is an EXCEPTIONAL attorney.

Doug represented me as the victim in a serious injury automobile accident with an uninsured motorist and did all the hard work to make sure I was taken care of and compensated at a very difficult time of surgeries, pain and emotional strain. We, as a family, felt absolute confidence that he had every...thing covered and that he would exhaust every avenue. We also knew my Mother was in the of best hands when Doug represented her in a contested estate case. He made sure she was treated fairly and even helped create a solution that was satisfactory for all sides. No small feat. I can't say enough nice things about Doug as a friend and person or emphasize enough, the amount of respect I have for his abilities as an attorney who represented us in such a complete way (personally and professionally). Thank you so much for everything, Doug.
