Doug Fletcher began his career as an Assistant District Attorney for the Dallas County, Texas and successfully prosecuted over 300 jury trials. Beginning his career in civil litigation in 1981, he has brought the same prosecutorial focus to the successful defense of corporations throughout the State of Texas. Over the past 20 years Doug has successfully litigated over 145 trials to verdict in matters ranging from complex personal injury, transportation, product liability, premises liability, Dram Shop liability and many other matters involving serious exposure to the firm's corporate clients. His practice has evolved from classic trial representation to more expanded conflict resolution. Doug is commonly involved in pre-litigation investigations and negotiations on behalf of our clients. His involvement has successfully avoided litigation in numerous matters and has achieved early conflict resolution.
