Although Doug is a litigator and trial attorney by training, he views himself first and foremost as a problem-solver. Where parties are in conflict, there may be solutions that are quicker and less costly, both in terms of legal fees and the clients’ use of resources, than litigation. Usually, such alternatives should be explored both before a lawsuit is filed and periodically over the course of litigation to ensure that opportunities for resolution are recognized if they exist, and if appropriate, those opportunities are taken. In some cases, however, aggressive representation is required to protect a client’s rights and interests, and compromise is not an option. In addition to litigation, Doug advises clients on a variety of transactional matters and has served in a general counsel role for several of his clients. Doug has previous experience as a pro tem judge and hearing officer, separate and apart from his law practice, and he offers arbitration services, rendering both reasoned and simple awards at affordable fees.
