Biography
Doug practices in our Litigation group with a primary focus on personal injury matters where he represents individuals who have suffered catastrophic life changing injuries, families who have lost loved ones due to negligent acts of others or widows who have lost their husbands through workplace injuries. He also practices in the area of sexual assaults where he represents individuals who have been sexually assaulted while at work, by a professional caregiver, while confined in an institution by a government authority or by court order.
After working as a teacher, guidance counselor and high school principal, Doug decided to switch gears and pursue his law degree – and has been practicing primarily in the area of personal injury for over 25 years.
When he’s not in the office or in court, you’ll find Doug exploring or woodworking.
