Attorney Biography
Attorney Douglas B. Harper in Chicago, IL, handles business litigation, civil rights litigation, employment litigation, criminal post-conviction and federal habeas proceedings, and appeals in state and federal court in Chicago, Illinois.
I've been a trial lawyer for over 30 years. I graduated from Yale in 1981, and NYU Law School in 1984.
My legal career began with 4 years as a criminal prosecutor in 1984, and then I was a partner at a mid-sized Chicago law firm for 10 years.
I have litigation training from some of the best trial lawyers in the city. I opened my current law office in Chicago in 1998.
In addition to practicing law full time, I've also been teaching trial skills to practicing lawyers every year since 1994 as a faculty member with The National Institute for Trial Advocacy; and I've been teaching trial skills to law students as an adjunct professor of law at Northwestern Law School every year since 1995.
Because I practice law and also teach trial skills to practicing lawyers and law students, I'm constantly studying and using the skills that make a trial lawyer successful. I use that combination of study and experience to benefit my clients.
