Horrible Lawyer

Wasted about 7 months of my time saying he was handling my case, which he had me do all of the work for by writing things for him and him asking for them to be court ready in terms of wording. He then told me he was too busy to handle the case and to find someone else. I asked him if something like... that might happen early on and he assured me he was on it. He also sounded more friendly with the owner of the company that won’t pay me overtime.

Outstanding.

I am 22 years old and still learning my way through the employment process. I was taken advantage of for a year and decided to look up some people online. After talking to a few attorneys Doug took my case and had it settled in record time. I was amazed with the speediness and most importantly his re...sponsiveness throughout the whole thing. Thanks Doug!! 10/10.

Excellent

I am a hard working home health nurse and was owed lots of overtime wages. Doug was amazing. He flew in to go over everything with me and was wonderful thru all of the legal proceedings. I was always able to get ahold of him by phone or email and he would reply very quickly. He won our case and... all nurses involved were paid. I would never recommend anyone else!

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.
