“Doug is one of the most well balanced divorce and custody attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with,” beams managing attorney Colin Amos. In addition to divorce practice, Doug has litigated criminal and juvenile cases, practiced as a Mediator and is trained in collaborative law. “I am continually impressed with how easily Doug transitions from diffusing high conflict situations to aggressively advocating for clients in hotly contested custody cases. He is like a refined Jekyll and Hyde and is comfortable in either role which makes Doug highly effective for his clients.”

Doug sees himself as helping clients in one the most difficult transitions in life. “Every client has different needs, goals and factual histories. My role is to provide sound legal and practical advice that emphasizes the most effective and successful methods for positive resolve. Clients depend upon me for critical guidance. Sometimes you have to take a hard-lined aggressive stance and other times a cooperative approach is more effective. Vesting clients in either tactic is critical for their success.”

Doug enjoys gourmet cooking, mountain biking, telemark skiing, 20 year old bourbon, spending time with family and his two English Setter, vintage stereo equipment and cheap Italian sports cars.
