Couldn't Recommend Him More Highly

Doug's first assessment of my complicated case was dead on. I deferred to his judgment on most aspects of the case, and I'm glad I did. He lead me through a difficult process displaying veteran expertise and great patience for a novice like me. He was knowledgable, communicative, efficient and ho...nest in his dealings with me--that earned a very high level of trust.

Got the job done quickly.

Doug helped me with my case involving a car hitting my bike. I tried to settle this case on my own and I wasn't getting anywhere. Doug stepped in and had far better results and did so in just a few months. We didn't even have to go to arbitration.

Clear and succinct exlpanation of all processes

My family and I were assisted by Mr. Wilson on five occasions, ranging from writing a will to successful defense of an untruth. At all times Mr. Wilson displayed professionalism and explained all in a way that non-lawyers may understand. So transparent were his explanations that I had no trouble sl...eeping at night.

  • 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.
