Hired Attorney

The best decision I made was hiring Douglas Atkinson. I risked losing my career and freedom. I hired Doug because my first attorney wanted me to plea guilty. He looked out for my best interest from the start. He is an expert on criminal law and fought for me all the way through trial which he won! Later when I needed assistance again, I didn’t hesitate to give him a call. His highly strategic and tenacious approach to my second case resulted in a dismissal, and without a trial. Doug’s rep

Him and his firm explained the process of our case very well and walked us through it all by staying in touch with us all the time; this is the most crucial factor that kept my Family calm during our struggle. He truly is a great attorney and should be your first option. Thanks Mr. Atkinson!

We interviewed a couple of attorneys before we hired Doug to defend our son. We knew he would fight for our son and he delivered a nearly impossible outcome. Doug is unrelenting, persistent, experienced and wise. Our family will always be grateful for Doug and his staff and all that they did. Our son's life could have been changed in a detrimental way, forever impacting him negatively. Hiring Doug was the best decision we made and the only attorney that could meet our needs and deliver resul

Doug Atkinson provided exceptional service and results for the criminal case against me. He was always eager to personally assist me with my concerns, and his staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I received great feedback regarding his past results within the court system. The case against me was dismissed. I would not hesitate in recommending Doug Atkinson for legal representation.

I chose Mr, Atkinson over another Attorney willing to take less money, but was not forthright in telling me. Fee quoted would only be for telephone hearing rather than live hearing. Mr. Atkinson was forthright and why he advised me live hearing would be more advantageous. NOW, for the best! Not only did Mr. Atkinson WIN my ALR case, preventing the suspension of my drivers license for 6 months. He got an dismissal of case 10 days BEFORE the schedule hearing! If you want to win, go with a WINNER!

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
