Amazing experience !

Had a bad experience with a major insurance carrier trying to handle my minor son’s injury case resulting from a rear end auto accident. The insurance company made a low ball offer and would not budge when presented with a reasonable counter offer to settle. We hired Ken and he secured a settlement 4... times greater than the amount we requested in our offer to settle prior to hiring Ken. Ken is a knowledgeable ,conscientious advocate who gave personal attention and service unlike the TV law firms.

A good choice for a personal injury attorney

I've had the opportunity to work with Ken on several cases, and it is always a pleasure to do so when I have the opportunity. Ken gets great results for his clients, and has worked some particularly difficult slip and fall cases with a good outcome. Not only is he professional and experienced, but ...he is also very personable and kind. A great combination of qualities for an attorney!

The Doane Law Offices have maintained constant communication with me and are always there to help me understand my case and answer questions. I ...am confident that I made the right choice with Doane Law, and would highly recommend Mr. Doane's services.

Personal injury lawyer | Jun 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I first met Ken as an adversary. He was defending personal-injury cases for one of the largest insurance companies in the US. It was obvious why they entrusted Ken with their business, he has excellent courtroom skills and Juries like him! Several years ago, Ken decided to put his experience to work for people who have been injured. His clients benefit tremendously because the insurance companies know he can try cases and win! When you have that kind of lawyer, your case tends to settle rather than go to a jury trial. If that's the kind of lawyer you want working for you, call Ken."
