Out of the lawyers I talked to they are the only ones that looked at my records and the reason they couldn't take the case is because the statue was so close and he was going to be out of town for a month and he said it needed immediate attention I would recommend Douglas and Douglas to anyone thank yall for trying

Beyond being a highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable lawyer, Seth Nix step in to my case after the original person handling my case left the company. Seth hit the ground running and exhibits rare vesting in his clients that put you at ease about knowing that your case will be handled fully, professionally, and right the first time. Both Seth and Abbie are easy to work with and always there when you need them. I could not have asked for a better people to represent me. Working with Seth was incredibly easy, and the least stressful part of a very difficult, painful event in my life. I would highly recommend Seth to friends and family or anyone needing legal advise. Seth and Abbie are a great team.
