Review Damian Mallard

Impeccable expertise

Posted by

I have known Mr. Mallard for over 18 years and had the pleasure of working with him on a case for a family member. He has an impeccable knowledge of the law, amazing commitment to his clients and is truly dedicated to helping those in difficult situations. Most importantly, he is experienced and successful at bringing a case to trial and getting the results needed. There’s no one else I would recommend as highly as Damian Mallard.

Great Job

Posted by

Mr.Mallard is a knowledge and intelligent lawyer, and came through on what he guaranteed. Overall good experience with Damian Mallard, I would definitely recommend him and his team of professionals.

My first call after an accident...

Posted by

I highly recommend Mr. Mallard and his staff if you have a case that needs to be handled. I literally put my health and piece of mind in his hands and he handled this responsibility with the upmost respect. He and his staff went above and beyond to get me anything I needed and walked me through the entire litigation and healing process with care and an iron fist on my behalf when necessary. He has a heart for his clients and is the protector you need when going up against the tough and unscrupulous insurance companies. Don't hesitate to call his office when you need someone on your team.

Gets The Job Done!

An accident attorney is someone you never really WANT to hire, but I now have Damian's office on speed dial because when an accident happens I've found it's vital to have someone who knows the law thoroughly to make sure the greedy, unscrupulous insurance companies don't bully you around. This is the 2nd time I've been in an accident. I sought out Damian the first time, but the second time he was the first person I called. Don't wait til you've had an accident....put this man's office in your contact list now because if you get into an accident he and his team will treat you with professionalism and also ensure that you are compensated for all injuries and/or pain you endure.

Dana Moss

I endorse Damian Mallard. He is top notch. Damian is a high-energy attorney, who knows the law and stops at nothing to get the job done right for his clients. You are in good hands with Damian Mallard.

Matthew Rheingans, Elder law Attorney on Apr 10, 2012
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

I worked for Damian for almost 2 years. While I decided that personal injury litigation was not a field of law I enjoyed practicing, I learned a lot from Damian during my time there. Foremost, he is candid and honest with his clients. Additionally, he is a phenomenal trial attorney, with great attention to detail, a bulldog in depositions and courtrooms and obtains great results for his clients. While I was there, we secured a $1.3 million verdict for one of our clients and after I left, on a case we mock tried together, he obtained a $5 million verdict for his client. A defense lawyer by training, now practicing almost exclusively on the plaintiff's side of the courtroom, his defense training, experience and knowledge of defense techniques and strategies gives him a leg up on competition. I continue to refer personal injury clients to him as I know he will obtain the best result possible.

Scott Distasio, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 25, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this personal injury lawyer. He is a strong advocate for his client, he cares about helping people, and his success in the courtroom prove he is an excellent trial lawyer.

Damian Mallard is an excellent personal injury attorney. I have known Damian for almost five years and am aware of the great results he has obtained for his clients in difficult cases with disputed liability. Damian gets results because he is an aggressive and tenacious trial attorney.
