L & I case

I first contacted Mr. Doran a few years ago to help me get necessary medical treatment for a job injury. Rather than sign me on initially, he gave me FREE advice for over a year (including contact numbers & invaluable advice). As with any government entity, it was difficult to do on my own. When he t...ook on my case, things began to roll very quickly. I got the necessary medical treatment (including surgery) and am now finishing my first year of retraining in college thanks to Mr. Doran's persistence. He and his entire office have been very gracious to me. They actually care about what is going on in my life! I've never felt anything other than part of their family. Each quarter, I can't wait to tell Mr. Doran's office how well I am doing in school. You can tell they ALL care & are excited to see me excel! Each time L & I has thrown a "kink" into my path to success, Mr. Doran has been right there to straighten it out, quickly and efficiently. He fights for his clients, determined and unabashed. He's straightforward and doesn't give his clients the runaround. One of Mr. Doran's greatest characteristics is that he wouldn't take on a case just to make money. If he feels you aren't forthcoming or are trying to bilk some entity, his honesty and fairness would prevent him from taking a case. He only takes 15% of my check, which is far less than other quotes I had received from other local attorneys. That 15% doesn't prevent me from keeping a roof over my head and dinner on the table. I've written his number down for anyone I've thought could benefit over the last few years. If not for Mr. Doran, I wouldn't have had my surgery & all the other necessary medical treatments, nor would I be proudly finishing my first year of retraining. I would highly recommend The Law Offices of Thomas L Doran to anyone seeking a lawyer who actually cares!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Tod knows workers' compensation extremely well. He is a man that younger/less experienced attorneys seek out for his guidance and expertise and I have done so on many occasions. I worked for the attorney general's office and had several cases opposing Tod. He was always professional, knowledgeable and well-prepared. Tod does an amazing job representing injured workers."
