Forty Years of Integrated Counsel.
With more than 40 years of practice, Douglas works across business, estate, real estate, and tax — both the planning side and the controversy side — for individuals, executives, and business owners whose legal questions don’t fit neatly into one category. The integrated approach is the point: a single advisor who can carry a problem from tax structure to estate plan to ownership transition without losing thread between them.
Education.
Where Douglas Practices.
Estate Planning.
Comprehensive plans for individuals, executives, and business owners — integrating estate, tax, and business succession in a single framework.
Real Estate.
Acquisitions, dispositions, and financing for real estate owners — with the tax-controversy expertise applied to planning that creates audit risk.
Tax Law.
Federal and state tax planning and controversy work — from audit and administrative appeals through the U.S. Tax Court and U.S. Courts of Appeal.
Trusts & Estates.
Trust administration alongside the kind of contested matters where Douglas’s tax controversy depth carries weight.
Mergers & Acquisitions.
Negotiation and structuring of business sales, acquisitions, and reorganizations — integrated with the tax planning that determines what the deal actually nets.
Business & Finance.
Counsel to business owners and executives across the decisions that shape a company’s trajectory — entity structure, financing, contracts, and ownership transitions.
