Highlighted Client Comments

Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs
I conferred with other attorneys on the law firm's standards and received positive feedback on their expertise, knowledge and professionalism. My family met with Dollar, Burns & Becker after we lost our daughter in an accident. They were always professional and one of the three would respond timely when we had questions. I believe one of the things that stand out in our interactions with them was that along with monetary compensation was that they also fought for and succeeded in changing some of companies employee practices that rewarded drivers that weren’t following guidelines.
