Doug and I were Air Force defense counsel together for two years. During that time together I found him to be a zealous advocate with a tireless work ethic and solid judgement. I've witnessed his advocacy first hand in the courtroom and he was extremely well regarded as a litigator. He's one of the few attorneys I would consider if I ever needed representation for myself or a loved one.
