Early in his career, Mr. Douglas was selected as one of the two attorneys who would go on to represent Virginia McMartin, in one of the most well-known cases.

With an exceptional educational background, that played a hand into his success in the profession of law. Mr. Douglas earned his B.A. in Rhetoric with high honors from the University of California Berkeley and went onto receive his J.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1982.
