Divorce is never a good thing but I needed assistance for what would be a difficult ordeal. Doug was the help I needed. Solid counsel and advice, which ended up saving me time and money in the long run. Most importantly, Doug and Firm salvaged my sanity through what would have otherwise been a roller-coaster. Don’t hesitate to give them a call if you’re in need of family law. You won’t regret it.

Doug was outstanding for several reasons: he initially jumped on the case which had extremely short time frames and came up with defenses and strategies to counteract actics of opposing counsel. Second, Doug was able to sift through and identify the important details of the hundreds of pages of information that I supplied to him and bring the important parts to the table during subsequent negotiations with opposing counsel. Third, Doug was simply indefatigable, frequently responding to my somewhat tardy emails after midnight and on weekends. Fourth, he had a knack for negotiation which, together with his legal insight, allowed him win important points of the case and concede less important ones, thereby staving off expensive and time-consuming court battles.

Doug is professional, knowledgeable, and level headed. He works tirelessly to take care of every detail for the best possible outcome. In consulting with him, he answered all of my questions, allowing for informed decisions. I highly recommend him.

M.S.

Douglas recently represented me in a custody evaluation and did an outstanding job. I highly recommend him and would ask him to represent me again in without hesitation. His knowledge of family law is incredible. Document research and preparation is of the highest quality, and communication is excellent. Douglas took the time to listen to everything I had to say and incorporated my feedback, and was always very quick to respond when I had questions. He was reassuring and factual without making any false promises or guarantees, which I really appreciated. I also appreciated the fact that he helped me learn to focus on the most important aspects of the case. If you ever find yourself seeking a family law attorney I highly recommend that you contact Douglas.

Doug Hatherley is my current attorney that was originally appointed to my case. In the beginning, my case seemed to be going in many different directions. However, Doug, who was familiar with the court where my hearing took place, made what I thought was a long shot, perhaps even an impossibility, become a reality. I can only describe it as “sword in the stone.” He pulled that sword from the stone and went to battle. I could not believe the results of my case. The results were definitely in my favor. Just the other day, I was finally able to see my son for the first time in over a year! The case is not over yet, but with Doug’s legal assistance, we are already so much closer to being exactly where I had hoped we would be.

On top of that, he went out of his way to ensure that costs were kept down which I appreciated. I offer only my highest recommendation for Doug.
