In the 90's I felt Doug worked very hard for his clients, even if it meant going to court or even arguing on appeal at the SC Supreme Court. I hired him in 2019 for 4 cases. He managed to sidestepped me on all 4. When we got to the end of the 4th case he grew irritated. I mentioned Luke Rankin and the heartbeat bill, and reading that Doug wanted the Master in Equity position. I have no idea how, but somehow he got the feeling that I thought I had the power to get Luke to endorse him in exchange for his legal services. I don't know Luke that well even if I wanted him to endorse Doug. He said I wasn't paying. I had just given him $4,300 leaving under $2000 owed him on the case. I would have paid that prior to the end of the case which was soon. I still have the email that he twisted to say I wanted him to exchange his fees for Lukes endorsement. The email he was referring to which I still have said nothing of a kind. He withdrew from my case at the end, so no other atty would take it.
