Heading to court for your first time may seem daunting. But having the attorneys at Dolan Connly represent you can ease your mind and improve your outcome. That’s because our attorneys are committed to fully representing you.
Many personal injury attorneys believe the best way to represent their clients’ interests is to convince their clients to accept a low settlement offer, instead of moving forward toward a trial. Others, will even refer clients to another law firm rather than take cases to trial. We understand the value of preparing a case for trial. While accepting a low settlement offer might seem less stressful and quicker than a legal battle, there are good reasons to consider when deciding whether to pursue a trial.
A settlement rarely raises awareness of your situation, which can be important if you are trying to hold someone publicly accountable for their actions. In fact, settlements often allow defendants to avoid admitting liability. And it’s become so common for some personal injury attorneys to accept low settlement amounts that insurance companies know who will settle rather than proceed to trial.
That’s why, after reviewing your situation, we may feel proceeding to trial is vital. That’s not a recommendation we make lightly. We have a host of compelling stories that illustrate why it’s important and why you need experienced attorneys fighting for you.

This story is just one example of how valuable it is having knowledgeable, hardworking attorneys on your side who believe in fighting for what’s right.
