Douglas J. Tate was suspended from the Bar for one year, with the suspension stayed for two years based upon his compliance with numerous condition's. He was found to have neglected and not communicated with numerous clients, mishandled entrusted funds, and did not supervise an assistant who held herself out as an attorney.

Doug Tate provided excellent services for our organization and passionately fought to represent us in our case. Much gratitude for his knowledge and skill with legal matters representing non-profits and animal rescues!

Mr. Tate is one of the top attorneys representing landlords/tenants in housing disputes in Buncombe County. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and an advocate for his clients. I have zero reservations in referring individuals that have housing issues to Mr. Tate.
