For over four decades, Douglas Somers has represented plaintiffs in personal injury litigation with the same skill and zeal he brought to his defense of insurance companies and major corporations.

Although he has represented many major clients, his greatest satisfaction was settling a product liability case for a young boy for $4.5 million against a major drug manufacturer. The young boy was totally disabled by an overdose of a drug that had not been tested on children. The drug was removed from the market as a result, saving thousands of children injury.

Douglas has lived on the Peninsula since 1990. In his 48 years as an attorney both here and in California he has defended auto manufacturers, an insurance company, and many small business and individuals. He has equal experience with vigorous litigation on behalf of plaintiffs who have been injured. He also welcomes individual and business clients in need of defense in contract, boundary, and business disputes. His balanced background gives him insight into the strength and weaknesses of a case from both points of view.

We are proud to welcome Doug to our team of litigators.
