Having practiced law for 16 years, Doug began his career as a result of his passion to help those in need.

Specifically, he served as an assistant county prosecutor in Dayton, Ohio convicting dangerous criminals who threatened the community. He also has worked very hard throughout his career seeking justice for those harmed as a result of the careless and thoughtless acts of others.

Over the years he has helped his clients achieve in excess of ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) in settlements and verdicts.
