==Career==
Douglas, being the managing attorney at the Law Office of Johnnie Cochran Jr, was known in many law circles as one of Cochran's top attorneys. Douglas was viewed as Cochran's lead co-counsel, being involved with Cochran cases representing rappers Tupac Shakur〔( Power of Attorney: L.A.'s Top Black Lawyers ) by Alvin Anol, Robledo Quindo & Lisa Collins , ''L.A. Focus'', retrieved March 26th, 2009.〕 and Sean "Puffy" Combs; as well as ''Diff'rent Strokes'' star Todd Bridges. Within a year after leaving the Cochran firm, Douglas was one of the lawyers in the biggest verdict of 1999 in the case of Patricia Anderson vs. General Motors.〔( GM Ordered to Pay $4.9 Billion in Crash Verdict ) by Henry Weinstein, Eric Malnic, and Ann W. O'Neill, ''LA Times'', July 10, 1999, retrieved February 12th, 2009.〕 In the verdict, General Motors was ordered to pay a record price of $4.9 billion for damages when two women and four children were trapped inside a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu and the gas tank exploded on Christmas Eve of 1993. At the time, experts said it was the largest verdict for a personal injury case in history. In 1994, and again in 1999, he was honored as the "Loren Miller Lawyer of the Year" by the John M. Langston Bar Association. In 2007, he was honored as the Consumer Attorneys' Association of Los Angeles "Trial Lawyer of the Year". He now has an office in Beverly Hills, California.
In March 2008, Douglas filed a lawsuit in excess of $10 million against the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Police Department for the shooting death of Maurice Cox, an unarmed motorist, who was driving in South LA. Most of the shooting was capture on video by Alex A. Alonso,〔( Widow of man shot by police files $10-million claim ) by Richard Winton, ''Los Angeles Times'', March 18, 2008〕 a film maker who posted the footage on www.streetgangs.com the same night.〔( LAPD Shoot and kill unarmed motorist in South Los Angeles ) by Alex A.

On February 12, 2009, it was reported that Douglas and Baylor would be suing the Los Angeles Clippers and the NBA, alleging race and age discrimination issues in the Clippers franchise.〔(Baylor: Clippers didn't reward success ) by Associated Press, ''ESPN'', February 12th, 2009, retrieved February 12th, 2009.〕
