In Woodstock, Georgia, I represent clients in a wide array of estate planning, guardianship, and probate law matters.. A native of Rossville, Georgia, I moved to Atlanta to attend Georgia State University, where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science with a minor in History.

In 2003, when I founded Brian M. Douglas & Associates, LLC, my vision was to create an entire culture that embraced this same powerful concept.. And we have.. I received his Bachelor of Science degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I studied Mechanical Engineering while working full time as a manufacturing supervisor for Fortune 100 Corporation. Upon graduation, I moved to Atlanta to attend John Marshall Law School, where I graduated cum laude and was class valedictorian.   I was initially drawn from engineering to law because of his gifts for reasoning and logic—two qualities that are essential for a successful attorney. And I have not looked back since.. Through my firm, I have had the opportunity to take on very diverse cases, working with bankruptcy, real estate law, civil/business litigation, foreclosure, criminal law, and what we are highly acclaimed for—estate planning and asset protection. Establishing my own practice has allowed me the freedom to cover many areas of law.

I graduated from Berkeley Law in 2001 and then moved to Alaska to clerk for the Alaska Supreme Court. I owned a law firm for 13 years, where I practiced primarily immigration law. In 2018, I began working at Shaftel Delman, LLC, where I continued my immigration practice and also practiced estate planning, business law, and probate/trust administration. I joined Durrell Law Group in April 2020, where I continue to practice in these areas of law.. On a personal note, I am married and have two school-aged children. As a family we enjoy getting into the outdoors skiing, camping, hiking, and mountain biking. I had never been to Alaska before 2001 and had not planned on staying beyond my one year clerkship. But I fell in love with Alaska and now consider it home.

I helped people navigate some of the hardest moments of their lives: divorce, custody, property and debt division, and more. Little did I know that some of the hardest moments of my life would include losing my parents within four months of each other.. Although we knew what my parents’ wishes were after they passed away, neither of them planned their end-of-life-care or signed something as simple as a HIPAA release or living Will (also known as an advance healthcare directive). As a result, we never knew what their final healthcare wishes were for the time preceding their deaths.. My mom, suffering from terminal brain cancer, was forced to pass away on someone else’s terms. She lay on her deathbed for 12 days without food, hydration, or pain medication. Since there was nothing in writing regarding her last wishes, my sister was able to prevent me from participating in my mother’s end-of-life decision-making process, talking to her physicians, or securing her pain medication.. To this day, a rift exists in my family because of that.  Because of the need to prevent family fueds I changed my practice to Estate Planning, Wills, and Trusts.
