F. Douglas Ross

Shareholder

Douglas.Ross@ofplaw.com (703) 218-2127 (703) 218-2160
Practice Areas:
  • Litigation

Doug Ross understands that sometimes litigation is necessary to get the result sought by his clients. With 30 years of courtroom experience, he has the willingness and ability to efficiently try those cases that cannot be settled in a manner satisfactory to his clients.

A seasoned trial attorney, Doug has extensive experience with both jury and non-jury trials. His broad litigation practice includes banking, real estate, title insurance, shareholder and partnership disputes, and defamation. While he primarily appears before the Virginia state courts and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, on occasion he represents clients in courts outside of Virginia, participating in the jurisdiction pro hac vice, or with permission of the court for that particular trial.

Doug, who also serves as the firm’s Managing Shareholder, has received an AV Rating, the highest rating given by Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ for his legal ability and general ethical standards. He also has been listed among Virginia Business magazine’s “Legal Elite” seven times for Civil Litigation. In 2020, he was selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® for Commercial Litigation.
