Douglas J. Smith

Solid but Room for Improvement

Mr. Smith handled a labor and employment dispute for my company, and while he demonstrated a strong command of the relevant laws, the experience left me with mixed feelings. His expertise in Litigation - Labor and Employment, as recognized by Best Lawyers, was evident in his strategic approach to the case. However, I found his communication to be somewhat inconsistent—sometimes quick to respond, other times difficult to reach. The case resolution was favorable, but the process felt longer than necessary, and I wish he had managed timelines more transparently. On the plus side, his deep understanding of employment law complexities was reassuring, and he clearly knows his way around the courtroom. If you’re looking for a seasoned attorney in this field, he’s competent, but be prepared for a more hands-off style. For my needs, a bit more attentiveness would have elevated the experience.
