"Paid $2000 dollars and Doug didn't stand up for me in the way he should have. He has NO backbone!! He let the states attorney walk all over him, and I ended up as a felon. He did not bring to the courts attention that my ex was reaching out to others and stalking me and harassing me, and those I was close with.... Do NOT for any reason choose Lawlyes, because he's lawless, and just wants your money, in my opinion.."

"I had a string of driving incidents. One wonderful car crash involving a hit and run, and 4 class B silly speeding incidents. Thanks to my wonderful lawyer by the name of Doug, I am only being put on supervision for the initial crash. The court has wanted me to pay for each incident resulting in several thousand dollars, but I only had to pay $625. Not bad."

"I hired this law firm for my son. He works nights so the communication with the attorney's office was done through me. They are affordable but very difficult to get ahold of and they do not return calls. If you have questions on your case you need to be sure and call well in advance of the court date (at least 3 weeks). I was told every time they would need to "ask Doug" and they would get back with me. They would never get back with me and they apparently could never get ahold of Doug. My son was told he had to show up for his court date the first time. So he did. Doug didn't show and the case was just continued. I called for the second date and was told they couldn't get ahold of Doug and my son could just not show and the courts would just have to accept that. That doesn't seem like the best advice to me. So again, they are affordable but be prepared to be on them like it's your job and not theirs to stay in communication with their clients."

"Doug worked out a plea deal that I never thought possible! If you need a lawyer he's the one to go to 100%! Thank you Doug! I will be forever great full! I see some people leaving 1 star for lack of communication? Believe me, if he can't get back with you, that does not mean he won't get you the best he can on court day! Trust his process!"
