Attorney
Dublin, Ohio, 43017
Troy Doucet opened the firm in 2010, immediately after graduating law school. Law is a second career for him, after extensive work in the mortgage industry. He works hard for his clients and has always maintained a philosophy that you should not have to be rich to hire a good lawyer.
Troy maintains top ratings from most of the companies that keep track of that sort of thing. He is rated AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale Hubble, and was named a Top 100 High Stakes Litigator for Ohio in 2019. He is a “SuperLawyer” in the area of debtor/creditor law, a designation only the top 5% of lawyers achieve. He obtained that designation the first year he was eligible, after being rated a SuperLawyer Rising Star for six years. He was awarded SuperLawyer’s national Pro Bono award in 2014 when his firm hired a dedicated pro bono lawyer to help the poor.
Troy has litigated hundreds of cases and dozens of appeals in his career, with several notable decisions that shape consumer law for the benefit of people at the Sixth Circuit federal appellate court. He is licensed to practice law in Florida, in several federal courts that include the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
Troy is dedicated to helping people facing significant financial challenges. His mission of helping people was shaped by his own personal experiences with financial loss. In 2005, Troy’s previous mortgage business collapsed, forcing him into bankruptcy at 26 years old. He lost his home to foreclosure. He had to completely reset and returned to school to finish his undergraduate degree before continuing to law school, where he excelled.
Before his difficult experiences, Troy ran a mortgage business that helped people. In 2004, a national magazine featured him as its cover story when he proposed the mortgage industry eliminate junk fees from all mortgages. His mortgage company did that early on, and then federal law changed to eliminate fees nationally. However, his good work wasn’t enough to keep the business afloat. In 2006, he was forced to start over.
He returned to finish his undergraduate degree in economics at The Ohio State University. He then went onto law school, where he graduated at the top of his class from Capital University Law School, magna cum laude. He focused on classes that would help him fight banks on behalf of people. He excelled in classes like Consumer Law, Real Estate Finance, Complex Litigation, Conflicts of Laws, and Contracts. That coursework shaped him into the litigator he is today.
Troy started volunteering at the Legal Aid Society of Columbus in law school. He graduated with more pro-bono hours than anyone in his class. After he graduated, he began attending the pro-bono legal clinics put on by the Legal Aid Society of Columbus, and still volunteers. Troy is so committed to helping others that he hired and paid for a dedicated lawyer just to handle pro bono matters. Troy funded that position for about two years (2014-2016).
