Full Biography:

Doug is a 2000 cum laude graduate of the Georgetown University Law Center, where he served as an editor of the Georgetown Law Journal.                    

Doug earned dual degrees in Economics and Political Science from Washington University, where he was a Sally E. Strain Scholarship Recipient, a member of the Pi Sigma Alpha Honorary Society, the Omicron Delta Kappa Honorary Society, and the recipient of the prestigious Todd Lewis Friedman Prize for Best Graduate in Political Science.

Prior to founding Colt / Wallerstein LLP, Doug worked as a senior associate with litigation powerhouse Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP.   He gained deep experience in employment and intellectual property litigation, representing a broad range of clients including Intuit, IBM, Charles Schwab, Macrovision, Shell Oil, Oracle, Palm, KV Pharmaceuticals, and other Fortune 500 companies.  Doug earned an exceptional reputation for defending against high-stakes temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, including a record-setting reversal of a temporary restraining order issued against a major software corporation; the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the Order on an emergency basis only four hours after it was issued.  Doug's current practice continues to center on high-stakes employment and intellectual property litigation, with a special emphasis on the defense of trade-secret misappropriation suits. 

Doug lives in San Carlos with his wife and daughter.   He is an avid fan of construction, landscaping, and skiing.
