I flip properties, buy properties and this firm is my main go to - I refer tons of clients to them as well. I have worked with this group since they first go going over 20 years ago - this is a real estate closing firm that should be on everyone's short list!! Getting hit with higher taxed after closing is going to happen to buyers everywhere. The property taxes are estimated by the lender not the closing attorneys! It's so easy to complain when you don't even understand the process!

I would not recommend this law firm to anyone closing on a real estate deal. I've been waiting 20+…read more(and counting) days for them to complete a title search. Never in my life have I ever waited more than 2/3 days for a title search to clear. Something is off about this firm. The communication is terrible too. I have to call up there everyday just to get an update and they say the same thing every time. "We will let you know when it clears". I will never ever use this firm to close again. This has been the worst experience ever. There is no urgency. And everyone acts like they don't know what's going on. Last we spoke they said they use Formaro Title Company to run searches. This is poor service.

Unresponsive Office Cost Me Money, Refused to Make It Right…read more I hired Brian M. Douglas and Associates LLC for my December 2025 real estate closing. The experience has been the worst I've had with any professional service. The Problem: My mortgage company, myself, and others sent advance notice about an incoming wire requiring verification, with a strict deadline I needed to meet for employer relocation reimbursement. Multiple follow-ups were sent to the office. For 1.5 days (Dec 11-12), multiple financial professionals couldn't reach the office to verify the wire: Goldman Sachs (my bank) - repeatedly told staff weren't available LPL Financial (my wealth manager) - same response Mortgage company - multiple attempts Me - ignored then told office "closed early" I was later informed that staff were working during these attempts. The office had already verified a prior wire successfully, so this was a routine task the team had done before. The Cost: I missed my December 12th deadline and incurred significant relocation-related costs as a direct result. The irony? After my deadline passed, I wired a much larger amount for closing and the office verified it immediately. My Good Faith Efforts to Resolve: I tried multiple times to work with them professionally: Initially attempted to communicate directly with the office to resolve the matter without formal demands When that failed, sent a certified demand letter requesting reimbursement for the costs I incurred due to their negligence When the first letter was returned due to addressing error, I paid for overnight delivery with signature confirmation Gave them clear options: reimbursement or insurance information The office signed for the letter on January 8, 2026 The Response: ZERO. No call, no email, no acknowledgment whatsoever. Complete silence despite multiple opportunities to resolve this professionally. Action Taken: Due to their complete lack of response and professional accountability, I have filed a formal complaint with the State Bar of Georgia. Bottom Line: Unprofessional, unresponsive, and unwilling to take accountability for mistakes. Cost me real money and won't even respond when given multiple chances to make it right. Complete lack of professional integrity. Avoid.

Complete waste of time! I made an appointment to discuss estate planning and was assigned to…read moreKathleen. The law office uses the Calendy scheduling software, so I received no less than 15 reminder notifications on every digital platform possible leading up to the call, which was about a month out. The day of the appointment, I received a voice message at 11:49am regarding the 12 noon appointment during which Kathleen left instructions for me to call back if I still needed services. 11 minutes early? That was off-putting but nonetheless, I call back immediately, which is now 11:51. I am told by the receptionist that she stepped away from the office. Yup, gone in 2 minutes. This is a very poor experience since I purposely made myself available for this call which should have occurred at 12noon, per the 15 different notifications I received since I signed up for the call. I've never had a professional call me in advance of the call and then make themselves unavailable for the actual call time. I waited almost a month for this call and could have found another law firm during this time. Don't offer services that you don't actually wish to perform. So now I'm using our actual meeting time to write reviews. Screenshots attached.
