Less than one percent of victims of generational poverty escape that way of life, but Doug joined that One Percent Club when he received a Juris Doctor from Woodrow Wilson College of Law in 1976. He opened his own law firm immediately upon graduation from law school and two years later expanded his firm to form Wallace & deMayo, P.C. During the next twenty years his firm grew to become the largest of its specialty in the United States. In 1996 he created the first legal network in the nation when he formed the National Attorney Network (NAN). NAN was as a way for smaller law firms across America to market their services to Fortune 500 companies. Three years later, NAN had become the standard by which law firms managed their practice, representing hundreds of banking law firms, with locations in every state. In 1999 Doug merged the law firm and NAN with Synovus Corporation, a large regional bank, in a first ever merger of a major law firm with a NYSE bank. Doug retired from the practice of law in 1999 to become a consultant to entrepreneurs and to pursue his lifelong dream of writing. Doug has been as a contributing writer of op-ed and perspective pieces for Bankers Daily Reports, Bankers Monthly Magazine, Credit Card Management, and various trade magazines throughout his career. Doug's book "Everything Will Be All Right," is a memoir,published by Greenleaf Book Group, an inspiring story of the unimaginable challenges he had to overcome while working his way out of poverty.
