Sincere thanks to Douglas Herring for successfully representing our 20-year old son in a serious legal case. Doug is knowledgeable and experienced in NJ law plus easily explains complexities in layman’s terms. As parents, we had full confidence and trust in Doug’s legal guidance. The outcome was thankfully much better than we had anticipated.

????? I have had my fair share of experiences with attorneys in the past, and it's safe to say that it's never been a pleasant journey. However, my experience with Douglas was a game-changer. From the moment I reached out, Douglas proved to be incredibly responsive, going above and beyond to assist me, even on weekends. His dedication made me feel like he was truly on my side throughout the entire process. What sets Douglas apart is his unwavering commitment to fight for your cause until the very end. If you're in need of legal representation, I can't recommend Douglas enough. He's the attorney you want in your corner for all your lawful needs. Thanks to him, my experience with an attorney was not just bearable, but actually enjoyable. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

I was involved in a traffic stop and was cited for a violation I did not commit. I contacted Mr. Herring's office and found them to be very responsive. Mr. Herring was very communicative and explained everything. He spoke to the prosecutor and the end result was no points and the violation was dismissed. While I am frustrated to have to have gone through the process in the first place, I could not be more pleased with the end result. I recommend him without reservation.
