Since 1993, Doug has had many million dollar and multi million dollar verdicts or settlements on behalf of clients.
From 1982 until 1984 Doug served as Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Richmond. Thereafter, he served as Special Agent for the FBI until he returned to legal practice as Chief Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney for Hanover County where he worked from 1986 to 1993.
