Excellent law firm.
I hired Doyle Law Firm to represent me in an insurance bad faith processing claim. Going through the litigation process was very stressful, but Mike Doyle and Patrick made me feel like I wasn't alone in a case against a large insurance company, and that meant everything. Knowing that I could reach out to either of them at anytime, was truly invaluable. The entire law firm has been professional and extremely helpful every step of the way. I can't thank them enough for all that they've done, and I would recommend them to anyone that needs the representation of highly skilled and caring attorneys.

Whistleblower Case
Michael Doyle represented me in a whistleblower case against the state of North Carolina. During the week and half jury trial Mr. Doyle exhibited superior skills as a trial attorney. His lawering skills lead to an large verdict in my favor.

Excellent service
After hiring Mike he personally paid a visit to us in Scotland. Particular attention to detail was achieved throughout and kept informed of every development. I would highly recommend Mike as he really knows the laws and was able to help a settlement that we found very reasonable without added expense costs if we were to attend court.

"A brilliant lawyer who works extremely hard for his clients. I endorse this lawyer's work."
Admiralty and maritime Attorney | May 20
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Mike Doyle is, without question, the finest maritime and aviation plaintiffs lawyer working in Houston today. On May 11, 2009, he hit two maritime defendants with a jury verdict of more than 4.5 million dollars--one of the largest maritime personal injury verdicts in Houston. Mike is a natural in the courtroom. Jurors love him, Judges respect him, and defense lawyers fear him. If you have a Jones Act Claim, an Aviation Death Claim, or a Maritime Personal Injury Claim, Mike Doyle is definitely the man to see."
