Doug has been a resident of San Diego for over forty years. Between 1982 and 2001, Doug was a civil trial attorney with an emphasis on real estate, personal injury, and construction defect litigation. He primarily represented plaintiffs, but developed an expertise in defending home inspectors and, as a result, did a significant amount of insurance defense work for construction and design professionals. Doug tried over 100 cases during his career and continues to be AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell. In 1997, Doug was honored by the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego with an Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award. In 2001, he was recognized by the California Real Estate Inspection Association as one of the twenty-five most influential individuals in the twenty-five year history of CREIA.

As for his personal mediation philosophy, Doug offers the following insight:

“Albert Einstein observed that in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. In our world that is filled with many challenges and difficult economic times, a peaceful resolution is hard to imagine, let alone achieve. No matter how dark or discouraging things seem to be or actually are, I believe we must raise our sights and see possibilities for successful and peaceful resolution of conflict, for they are surely there. As you know, it doesn’t come easily, but I pledge to you that I will work hard for you and your clients with a full and focused effort to achieve creative, sensible solutions. If you want to maximize your opportunities for successful resolution of your challenging disputes, please give me a call. Good results come from hard work and I am ready to go to work for you!”
