What makes us different?

Our commitment to truly understanding the challenges our clients face is what sets us apart. We recognize that behind every legal matter is a deeply personal story, and when clients come to us, they aren’t looking for accolades—they want reassurance, guidance, and a clear path forward.

At Douglass & Runger we go beyond solving legal problems; we take the time to listen, strategize, and provide compassionate support. Our goal isn’t just to resolve cases—it’s to help our clients move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Family Law

Navigating the end of a marriage can lead to a flood of worries and uncertainties such as, “Will I still play a significant role in my children’s lives?” or “How will a divorce impact my financial well-being?”

By understanding your deepest concerns and priorities from the start, at Douglass & Runger, we help you craft personalized strategies that focus on what you truly value.

Probate Support

Trying to manage an estate is overwhelming when you are still grieving the loss of a loved one. You may find yourself wondering, “Where do I even start?” or worry about doing something wrong.

At Douglass & Runger, we provide clear, step-by-step guidance to help you navigate the probate process, ensuring your loved one’s wishes are honored with the respect and attention they deserve.

Estate Planning

Our approach to estate planning goes beyond drafting documents or Wills and Trusts.

They serve as personal representatives on probate estates and trustees on trusts.

This unique blend of practical experience and insight allows us to design estate plans to ensure your wishes are honored and your loved ones are protected.
