Slip and Fall

I contacted Conlin in regard to a slip and fall. After interviewing me and consulting with his team Tom took my case. Tom and his entire team went above and beyond - they were all very professional, helpful, courteous, thorough, attentive and the list goes on and on. Through mediation we were ab...le to settle the case before trail and are very pleased with the settlement. They are all top notch and I would highly recommend them!!!

Excellent Atorney

Due to a slip and fall at a restaurant I was in need of an attorney and Tom Conlin was referred to me. I contacted him and he represented me in the lawsuit that was brought against the restaurant. He did a fabulous job and got me what I feel was a fair and equitable settlement. In detail, he expla...ined to me along the way, how my case was progressing and he was always there to answer any questions I might have. If anyone asks me if I know a good personal injury attorney I will highly recommend Tom Conlin. Shelly

A Law Firm with Dignity, Respect, and Results!

Tom Conlin came highly recommended to me through a network of attorneys. I knew nothing about malpractice law, or if my case was even eligible for compensation, but the injury that happened to me during a routine surgery was so devastating, that I knew I needed to do something. From the first convers...ation that I had with Tom, he was very straightforward and realistic. He and his staff always treated me with the utmost respect and dignity, and truly cared about me as a person. Along the way, Tom shared his knowledge of how malpractice cases work; yet ultimately I was the one who made my own personal decisions based on that knowledge. Tom is very good at explaining the process, and giving you all the information that you need to make those hard decisions confidently. My case ended up settling before it went to court, and I am very pleased with my compensation. I would highly recommend Conlin Law firm. You will have no doubt that your particular case is in the best hands possible!

Great Client Advocate

As a recent client of the firm, the Conlin Law Firm met or exceeded my expectations in every regard. Tom and his entire staff are knowledgeable, easy to work with and are the epitome of professionalism and client care. From the beginning of my case, I was treated with the utmost amount of respect. ... In addition, the details of my case were handled with great attention and timeliness. And the most important element of my experience was that the Conlin Law Firm got the results we hoped for! I was injured in a head-on car crash several years ago in which the other driver was at fault. Since the accident I have needed ongoing medical care. From the onset of my injuries, I was not very familiar with the legal process and what my options were. After my initial consultation with Tom and his staff, they took action and developed a plan that enabled me to seek just compensation. The process was certainly a learning experience for me, as Tom and his staff took the time to educate me throughout the case so that I understood what my best course of action was. I appreciate the process that the Conlin Law Firm led me through but most of all, I appreciate the outcome. Even though I will live with my injuries long term, it is comforting to know that justice was served in providing me compensation for the disruption they have caused in both my peronal and professional life. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Medical malpractice lawyer | May 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the great fortune & privilege to work with Tom on a very serious Medical Malpractice case in North Dakota. Tom is a very rare attorney who possesses tremendous trial skills & an equal amount of sincerity & compassion. That combination is, to me, the recipe for a great trial lawyer, and more importantly a great human being. Tom masterfully tried the case for our severely injured client & in the end received one of the largest medical malpractice jury verdicts in North Dakota History. I highly recommend Tom & hope to work with him again."
