Career

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Doug attended Poly Prep Country Day School and traveled west where he enrolled at Utah State University and received a B.S. in Political Science with minors in English and Philosophy. He returned home and graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 1988. Before joining Kenny Nachwalter, Doug practiced law in Salt Lake City for several years.

His experience in 35 of practice includes successfully trying cases in both federal and state courts on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants. His trial experience reflects an equal commitment to trials as short as a week and more complex trials that have lasted several weeks and months. “The trial lasted over a month. Mr. Patton, as lead counsel for Safeway, performed admirably. He writes clearly and concisely and is articulate and convincing in his arguments before the court and jury.” Honorable David Sam, U.S. District Court Judge.
