About Douglas Healy

Douglas Healy is a Springfield, Missouri based attorney and managing member of Healy Law Offices, LLC, a boutique Midwest energy law firm handling energy law, complex litigation, FERC proceedings, and regulatory affairs for utilities, municipalities, and corporations. He also serves as General Counsel to the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission (MJMEUC), representing it in state and federal FERC litigation.

Healy left a career at the Missouri Public Service Commission, where he served as Chairman's Advisor from 2005 to 2007, to build a practice focused on public power, municipal utilities, and complex energy litigation, work he says larger general practice firms were not built to handle. He was admitted to the Missouri Bar in 2000, a Juris Doctor graduate of the University of Arkansas the same year and the youngest graduating attorney in his class.

Knowledge, Experience, Integrity

Those three values are the firm's stated core, and the through line of every matter Healy Law Offices takes on. No general practice firm publishes a first person philosophy quote from Healy, but the pattern in his work speaks for itself: named clients, a regulator's eye view of energy policy, and a team built around former public utility regulators rather than outside counsel brought in after the fact.
