When facing criminal charges, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Your freedom, reputation, and future are on the line, and you require an advocate who understands every aspect of the legal battle ahead.

Experience is the single most important ingredient to ensuring a successful defense. As both a former senior trial attorney and felony prosecutor in the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office and a seasoned defense attorney, Doug brings a unique and powerful advantage to your defense.

Insider Knowledge from the Prosecutor’s Perspective

Having spent many years as a prosecutor, Doug has an insider’s understanding of how the other side thinks and operates. He knows the strategies they use to build a case, the tactics they employ in court, the types of evidence they prioritize, and the mistakes they are likely to make.

This experience allows him to anticipate the prosecution’s moves and develop a defense strategy that counters them effectively. When you hire Sherrod Defense, you’re hiring someone who has been in the trenches on both sides of the aisle and knows exactly what it takes to dismantle the opposition’s case.

Doug doesn’t just focus on one aspect of your defense; he looks at the case from every possible angle, ensuring that no stone is left unturned. Whether it’s negotiating a favorable plea deal or fighting for a full acquittal, Doug uses his comprehensive knowledge to secure the best possible outcome for you.
