A consummate professional who delivered an outstanding outcome

Our company faced a complex, high-stakes commercial litigation matter involving a disputed real estate-backed financial instrument. The opposing counsel was aggressive, and the potential exposure was significant. We were referred to Doug Minor at Holland & Knight, and it was the best decision we could have made. Doug’s three decades of experience, particularly his deep knowledge of defending financial services firms in the Southeast, were immediately evident. He masterfully guided us through every phase, from pre-trial strategy to settlement negotiations. His calm, methodical approach and sharp insight into real estate litigation nuances were invaluable. It’s no surprise he’s been recognized as Lawyer of the Year in this field. Doug secured a resolution that far exceeded our expectations, protecting our interests completely. He is the epitome of a trusted legal advisor.
