"Doug represented our firm in a situation involving a potentially catastrophic government investigation and multiple instances of related litigation in both state and federal courts. The results achieved in every case were beyond our expectations."
- General Counsel
“When I talk about Doug Whitney, it would be easy to just describe the results of the matter in which he represented me. The IRS sought to collect over $1,000,000 in civil penalties from me, and I ended up not being out of pocket even one cent. While it is easy to talk about these results, there are so many other reasons to praise Doug’s work for me as an attorney. He is intelligent in his knowledge of the law, skilled in negotiating, and has a great 'bedside manner' in how he explained and reviewed issues with both my wife and me.”
- Attorney Client
"Doug is one of those few lawyers who both outworks and outsmarts his adversaries. His unique combination of intellect and grit is the key to the extraordinary results he obtains for clients."
