Everyday People. Extraordinary Results.
Over the years, our firm has earned a reputation for achieving the results our clients need to heal and move forward with their lives. We not only have decades of combined experience, but we also have a proven track record of success, including numerous million- and multimillion-dollar settlements and verdicts.
Though we strive to resolve our clients’ cases as quickly and efficiently as possible, we recognize that this is not always possible. Often, insurance companies and other liable parties refuse to offer settlements that fairly compensate our clients for their injury-related damages. When this is the case, our team is fully prepared to represent you at trial.
Understanding Your Rights
When you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligent or wrongful conduct, you have the right to take legal action. By filing a personal injury claim against the liable party, you can seek financial compensation for losses, or “damages,” you have suffered as a result of your injuries. This includes things like medical expenses, future care costs, lost income, physical pain, and mental suffering.
It can be difficult to go up against insurance companies and other liable parties on your own. These companies often have large, powerful teams of attorneys whose sole purpose is to defend against personal injury claims. It’s important that you protect your right to a fair recovery by working with an experienced attorney, like those at Doran & Cawthorne, P.L.L.C. As your legal team, we will be there for you every step of the way, working to protect your rights and advocate for your maximum recovery.

When you choose Doran & Cawthorne, P.L.L.C., you choose a team that will fight tirelessly for you. We understand the immense impact severe injuries have on the lives of victims and their families. We also understand just how important it is that you receive fair compensation for your damages as quickly as possible.

We offer completely free and confidential consultations, as well as contingency fees. This means that you do not owe any legal fees unless/until we recover compensation for you.
