Gina West ★★★★★ These are professional people who really do care. I called them for the first time on yesterday about my vehicle accident and Josh represented the firm with compassion. He listened, explained that someone would be contacting me today and minutes later Matt called me. I was given the option of an appointment the same day or early the next morning at my home. Matt provided me with his direct contact phone number and his email address. It's with 27 years of serving, training and experience in the United States Air Force that I give this law firm the highest recommendation. Grateful indeed, Gina W.Marvinette Monroe ★★★★★ I can’t say enough about Josh and the team at Mullen & Mullen with assisting with my motor vehicle accident in Dallas, TX. They’re consistently courteous, professional, and provide exceptional service. I will recommend their team for any motor vehicle accidents and slip & falls.Amber Burnett ★★★★★ Mullen & Mullen assisted my husband when he was injured in a motor vehicle collision on Main Street. They are absolutely wonderful Frisco personal injury lawyers. They assisted him in getting the medical attention he needed following the wreck. When it came time to negotiate with the insurance companies, they wouldn't take no for an answer. Our attorneys kept the heat on until they finally had to do the right thing. I feel like a lot of firms would have given up and recommended a lawsuit right away but Mullen & Mullen attorneys are super ethical and determined. They were eventually able to help my husband get almost the full available policy limits without the stress and time associated with a lawsuit. If you need a Frisco car accident attorney these are the injury lawyers you should call. Highly recommended!Chad Burnett ★★★★★ I hired Mullen & Mullen following a motor vehicle collision. I could not be more pleased with the Dallas personal injury lawyers I selected. They are the real deal! I was always kept in the loop on case developments. My attorneys sent the at-fault liability carrier multiple demands to make them agree to pay the policy limits. My lawyers also sent my own insurance company several demands to get them to offer me nearly the policy limits. A lot of attorneys would have given up and just recommended filing a lawsuit but Mullen & Mullen kept pounding the insurance companies until they did the right thing. This saved me a tremendous amount of money and time. I'm so very grateful that I found ethical, tenacious, and skilled attorneys to represent me. Mullen & Mullen gets my highest recommendation if you need a Dallas car accident attorney.C.

I took advice from a friend who insisted that I contact another law firm who's name I was very familiar with, from constantly hearing there commercial on the radio. When I called the other law firm they set me up an appointment to come in an speak to someone. I went and was very impressed with how nice there office was, however I was not impressed with how much there fees where. Let's just say that I could see why the decor was so nice after I learned what they would charge me for representation. I politely declined and limped right out of there office. I then went home and started doing my own research online going from one firm to another, reading review after review and came across Mullen & Mullen. I called the office explained my situation just as I had done with the other law firm and the first thing that the lady asked me from Mullen & Mullen was would I like to come in? or Would I like for someone to come out to my home to talk with me? They sent someone out, he answered all of my questoins. He was very thorough and professional so I was only a little impressed at this time, until he explained to me what there fee would be. And that's when I became even more impressed. I was told that a Mr. Josh Banks would be contacting me and would be handling my case. Mr Banks always kept me informed with what was going on and would check to see if I was satisfied with the services that I was receiving. He also got me the maximum amount that I could receive without charging me an arm and a leg, the process didn't take long and I didn't have to go into some fancy smancy office. Over all my experience with Mullen & Mullen has been great! Keep up the good work Mullen & Mullen!Debbie Wilson ★★★★★ Truly great firm! Joseph Morrison went the extra mile to secure great results in a timely manner.

I recommend this law firm to anybody that would need an attorney!Talia Lozano ★★★★★ My husband and I worked with Joseph at Mullen & Mullen, he was extremely sincere and personable, he did everything he said he would and always followed up when promised. Mullen & Mullen took care of us from the very beginning making everything extremely easy to get the help we needed. It was our first time having to go through something like this and Joseph took care of us the whole way. We also had a recent bankruptcy due to loss of job, and Joseph was able to work with the trustee to get us even more than the court's exception would allow in our particular circumstances.My husband also wants to shout out to "Mike", the original representative we met with after our accident, he was extremely knowledgeable and made everything feel right when signing on with Mullen & Mullen, and gave us the confidence we had nothing to worry about.We were referred by my brother Carlos L. who went to school with Mr. Mullen's son and are glad we took his advice!Stacey Lawrence ★★★★★ I cannot say enough about Mullen & Mullen... I've been working with Shane Mullen and from the beginning he has taken the time to answer all of my questions and explain the process to me in terms which I could understand. He has personally called me through all of this giving me updates and advising me of my options.

It is seriously a team effort with the Mullen and Mullen law firm. I hope No one has to go through a situation like mine but if you do I strongly recommend going to Mullen and Mullen . You will rest a lot easier knowing they have you back .Allie Farooq ★★★★★ We were hit by a drunk driver in Mesquite Texas, and immediately went to google search to find an attorney at the scene. We were very apprehensive because we had never been in this type of situation, and never had hired an attorney for a car wreck. We solely chose Mullen and Mullen based on their 5 star review. We are so glad we made this decision! We were both hurt bad and had to see doctors and go through physical therapy. Joseph Morrison handled our case and was so extremely caring and understood our pain, he took his time with our case. Every time I called, he answered, and spent so much time on the phone answering each question. He made sure we got all the treatment necessary before closing our case. We were extremely pleased with the end and will always call if we ever need him. My husband told me it's so easy and they are so nice it makes me nervous. We learned it really was just easy! They really did have our best interest at heart. Our neighbor had a similar wreck and we told them to call and they didn't. They lost so much and the wife still has pain to this day. She always says to me we should have called.Brittany Puckett ★★★★★ I want to thank Joseph with Mullen & Mullen for being the best attorney anyone could have asked for. He worked very hard in getting the medical help I needed after my auto accident. He made me feel like I was his only client. He kept me informed on what was happening during my case and truly cared about my health care needs.

Hands down Mullen & Mullen has been the best. They really do take their business to a personal level. After a screening call from one of his assistance, it was the next day that Shane Mullen called me. I will never forget our first conversation and one thing in particular that he said to me. I said, “This is the first time I am talking with you but I trust you so much” and he replied: “I Fully Trust Myself Too.” That was what I wanted to hear. I wanted to make sure that my lawyer is confident and my case is in good hands and with that settlement he proved his confidence and competence.

How We Maximize Your Compensation
We Level the Playing Field
The insurance company has an army of lawyers. You need effective and skilled representation to protect your interests. At Mullen & Mullen Law Firm we have an established track record of success representing real victims with real injuries and real damages.
Why Does This Matter?
Think of your case as a cake. You only get one opportunity to bake it and you only get one opportunity to serve it the right way. If you have been hurt your only focus should be on recovering from your injuries. You are not in a position to make sure your case is developed properly. In fact, you are probably unaware of the evidence necessary to meet your burden of proof on various issues or of the impact multiple factors, such as venue, have on arriving at a proper case value. This should be done by a professional.
We Develop Your Case
Developing your personal injury claim is essential to a successful recovery. For example, say you have a 3 mm herniated disc in your back as the result of a car accident. Simply submitting medical records and relaying what the doctor told you during appointments won’t move the dial. If you sustained injuries through no fault of your own, you deserve to have answers about what impact those injuries will have on the rest of your life. A whole-person impairment rating can serve as powerful evidence.
In some cases a life care plan may be necessary to accurately capture future medical costs and to lend credence to both current and anticipated physical limitations and/or restrictions.
Words matter. It is not enough for your doctor to say you may need surgery in the future. Such a statement fails to meet the burden of proof necessary to recover damages. Your doctor must indicate that it is likely – i.e. more likely than not – that you will require surgery in the future.
That’s not all of it though. You also have to be certain that causation has been adequately addressed. The need for the surgery must be properly connected to the injuries arising from the incident.
We Present Your Claim – 1st Impressions Matter
You only get one opportunity to put your best foot forward. Initial impressions absolutely matter. Unrepresented victims in personal injury cases face an uphill climb. Often times they simply submit medical records with a brief letter asking for money with no explanation for how they arrived at the figure.
Why You MUST Be Represented
When you are not represented by a personal injury lawyer, insurance adjusters don’t fear denying your demand because – guess what – they know there’s nothing you can do about it if they offer you something ridiculous. Unrepresented victims are essentially bidding against themselves.
We are able to resolve a large percentage of claims without the necessity of litigation but we never hesitate to go that route if it will result in a better recovery for our client. Insurance adjusters know what Mullen & Mullen Law Firm will do about it if they make an unfair offer.
Mullen & Mullen routinely utilize 3d imaging, surgery illustrations, medical videographers, and other cutting-edge demonstrative aides to present our client’s injury case in the most effective manner. We front these expenses, which can be substantial, to properly present your claim and maximize our client’s likelihood of a successful recovery.
We Use Pre-Suit Experts
We aggressively use pre-suit experts to give you the best opportunity to resolve your case without the increased lawyer fees and expenses associated with litigation.
Insurance companies are often billion-dollar enterprises. They employ an army of thousands which includes high-priced lawyers. These insurance companies often utilize “hired gun” experts who exist solely to minimize the credible personal injury claims of injured victims.
They will challenge the reasonableness and necessity of your medical care at every opportunity. It is incredibly important that you retain counsel with the financial resources to go toe-to-toe with them.
Our law firm’s longevity and results demonstrate our willingness to spend the money necessary to properly develop your case.
At Mullen & Mullen Law Firm we make all efforts to resolve your case without the necessity of a lawsuit, since often times litigation only results in increased lawyer fees and expenses that will eat up any increase in settlement funds. Litigation is also a lengthy process that typically lasts 12-18 months. That said, we never hesitate to file a lawsuit if necessary.
If your personal injury claim goes to litigation, it will require the use of experts to properly present your case. We are different in that we routinely utilize experts prior to the filing of a lawsuit to properly develop your case. Just a few examples are included below:
Accident Reconstruction Experts
We often use accident reconstruction experts when liability is challenged by an insurance company. For example, we recently represented a young child who sustained serious injuries when he was hit by a car while riding a bicycle in his neighborhood after school. The police report arising from the incident placed all fault on the child who had exited from an alley / private drive before he was struck. The officer, however, did not take any measurements at the scene, nor did he have the ability to properly value the speed of the motor vehicle, braking time of the motor vehicle, the distances involved, or impact of the tortfeasor’s line of sight. The expert determined that the motorist, who stated she was going only 10 mph, had more than enough time at that speed to safely stop her vehicle without injuring the child.
Walkway Surfaces Auditing Experts
Premises Liability claims often require the use of experts. These cases include those where someone slips/trips/falls at a business or store. We had a case recently where our client took a fall due to an extremely slippery surface. We retained a walkway surface auditor who calculated the coefficient of friction of the surface after performing a field test. He compared the results with industry standards.
Vocational Rehabilitation Consultants
Experts interview and assess patients with vocational challenges to determine when – or if – they are ready to be employed as well as what type of work they have the physical ability, skills, and experience to perform.
We had an 18-wheeler injury case recently where our client suffered severe injuries and required major spine surgery. Our client had a very physically demanding job before the wreck. His treating neurosurgeon completed a Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) form submitted by our firm. The neurosurgeon limited the client to medium work which precluded him from his prior job. We retained a Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant to review the RFC form and opine as to the impact of the collision on our client’s future employ-ability. The expert determined that our client would earn significantly less performing medium work since he lacked the necessary education, skills, and experience to land a comparable job at that exertion level. The expert calculated the client’s loss of earning capacity in the future at over $600,000.
Please note that we routinely use economists as well when necessary.
Lawyers Shane Mullen and Joseph Morrison have both handled a significant number of social security disability claims and have a unique understanding of vocational damages.
Medical Videographers
Our law firm utilizes medical videographers to film client surgeries when warranted. This allows adjusters (and later jurors if necessary) the ability to fully appreciate what the client has gone through. Often times insurance adjusters become numb to operative reports. After all, reports are just paper. We all know, however, that a picture says a thousand words. This footage can be incredibly powerful in helping insurance adjusters remember that claims involve real people who sustained real injuries.
3D Imaging
On many cases we retain an FDA cleared medical software company on behalf of our clients. This company translates radiologic images (such as the results of X-Ray, CT, or MRI) of client anatomy into state-of-the-art 3D imaging. This allows adjusters to fully appreciate the nature and extent of your injuries. We have even used the same company to create 3D illustrations of surgeries.
Certified Life Care Planners
If you suffer serious injuries after an accident you may require lifetime medical care. Our personal injury lawyers routinely retains Certified Life Care Planners to review medical records, assess our clients, perform research, and determine what sort of short-term and long-term medical care you will require throughout the remainder of your lifetime. These experts calculate the projected cost of medical care in the future as well as the cost(s) associated with prescriptions, alterations to the home, etc. Think of them as a case manager for future medical damages.
At Mullen & Mullen our extensive use of pre-suit experts allows us to obtain large settlements for clients while their lawyer fees remain at a lower contingency fee rate. For example, Shane Mullen recently obtained all remaining available policy limits for a client which was over $2,000,0000. Getting the insurance company to pay policy limits pre-suit allowed the client to save over $200,000 since his fee was 29% as opposed to 40% in litigation.
If you have been injured due to another’s negligence, you owe it to yourself to contact us for a free consultation before deciding on another personal injury lawyer to represent you.
State-of-the Art Case Management Software
We are committed to constant evolution and making use of cutting edge case management software to better represent our injured clients.
Staying ahead of the curve and a commitment to evolution are an essential element to any successful law practice. At Mullen & Mullen we utilize powerful cloud-based software with bank grade encryption to protect our clients’ data. The software has been highly customized by the lawyers themselves to make sure best practices are utilized. The result is a powerful and robust solution that gives us a competitive edge.
Custom Workflows
Often times a case event will trigger multiple other events and tasks. Our personal injury lawyers have created numerous custom workflows to ensure nothing falls between the cracks and that cases are given the individual attention they deserve. For example, a workflow is triggered when claims are reported to verify we receive prompt responses from insurance carriers. Another workflow is utilized when medical bills and records are requested to verify they are received in a timely manner. These are just a few examples of the numerous custom workflows that allow our clients’ personal injury cases to proceed as smoothly as possible.
Document Templates and Document Management
An effective personal injury lawyer has to review, process, and create a substantial number of documents every single day. Our cutting-edge software allows us to quickly produce accurate case documents with the click of a single button by automatically pulling-in the latest information. This ensures your personal injury claim is presented in a professional and timely manner.

We have a secure App on our phones that allow us to access contacts, case notes, and case documents while away from the office. The ability to immediately access information ensures our clients are provided prompt responses when they have questions and also sends a powerful message to the insurance companies.
Integrated Solutions
We bolster the effectiveness of our case management software further by integrating other technology solutions. For example, case emails are automatically linked to clients’ individual files. Any attachments are linked as case documents. We utilize an electronic fax service which allows incoming faxes, outgoing faxes, and fax confirmations to also be quickly linked to clients’ case files.
Our personal injury lawyers use of powerful, highly-customized case management software allows us to spend more time communicating with our clients. This ensures we can quickly take action on injury cases, aids in claim development, and leads to better results for our clients.
About Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury is when another person’s carelessness or negligence has caused you a physical (easier to prove) or psychological (much harder to prove) injury. Not every claim falls into a neat or pre-defined category. If you don’t see your particular type of case (how you got injured) listed below, it doesn’t mean our lawyers can’t help you.

There is never any pressure to hire us, and no attorney fee will be owed unless we win a financial recovery for you. If you don’t win, we don’t get paid.
How do you determine if someone else was careless or negligent?
It’s not always easy to prove. In the case of car wrecks, it’s easier to show. But with medical malpractice, it’s very difficult to show. Legally, you have to ask, “In the same circumstances, would a reasonable person act in the same way?” If the answer is “No” their action was probably negligent.
How do you know if you have a viable claim?
You don’t have to know. We offer a free consultation. We’ll get the facts of your potential case and let you know whether it’s viable. It doesn’t cost you anything to find out, so you can talk with us to see if we can take your case on.
What can you get compensation for?
You can recover financial compensation for lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical costs. In some rare cases, you can also get punitive (punishing) damages for grossly negligent conduct.
What happens if a loved one died because of someone else’s actions?
That may be a lawsuit. A common one would be if a drunk driver killed your family member. You call this type of claim a “wrongful death” lawsuit. In these cases, the offending party may also face criminal charges.
<h3″>What about workplace injuries?
Sometimes they are. It depends on their cause. If your employer or a fellow employee causes your injuries, that’s a worker’s comp claim. But if a manufacturer makes a defective product that hurts you on the job, that is a personal injury claim. If you’re not sure, you can always call us for a free consultation.
How Do Personal Injury Claims Work?
What kind of person would research injury law just for the fun of it? Not too many people – that’s for sure. So the reason you’re reading this is because you’re considering filing a personal injury claim.
Here are some things to know before you do, about how the process works:
It’s not as stressful as you think.
Typically, when you think of “lawyers,” you think about courtrooms, impatient judges, and hostile defending attorneys that pepper you with misleading questions designed to make you look bad. Like what you see on TV.
You might think you can’t afford a personal injury lawyer. But you can – everyone can. That’s because they are paid a percentage of the final settlement amount. It’s usually 33.3%, but Mullen & Mullen charges less (29%).
Will I get more money with an attorney?
Yes. An experienced attorney will always get you significantly more than you could expect to obtain trying to battle the insurance company alone. The insurer’s goal is to pay you zero. They are profit driven, and many adjusters are paid bonuses for saving money. You don’t stand a chance of a fair outcome against their dedicated legal departments who will use every tactic in the book to avoid or reduce your settlement.
Most lawyers are not dishonest and don’t try to make multi-million dollar cases out of small ones.
There’s no doubt this does happen. And it’s tempting to think that’s all that happens because this is what the media covers.
But remember, they only cover the most sensational stories. That’s because people pay attention to amazing stories – not typical ones. And the media makes money when that happens.
Most attorneys are honest and ethical. They’re going to try to get you what’s fair under law and zealously advocate for you.
Juries can’t compensate you for attorney’s fees.
When you get compensated for your injuries, settlements are awarded for the cost of your injuries, plus any punitive damages. You cannot get paid above and beyond that for attorney’s fees.
Doing so would mean the declaration of a mistrial, if your case went to trial.
Lawsuits are not easy money.
Some firms present cases as being easy money in their advertising. Run, don’t walk, away from these firms. Avoid them like the plague.
They can resolve your case quickly and easily. But what they’re not telling you is that they slam through your case so fast that you don’t get full compensation for your injuries. They don’t take the time to personally interact with clients to learn the unique facts and circumstances of the case.
Cases don’t take forever to complete.
In the hands of a skilled, ethical attorney, you can resolve your case in months, or around a year. It’s better to have a lawyer take their time and do it right. You want fair compensation for your injuries, don’t you? Some cases do drag on and on because of how our legal system works.
But remember, it’s not designed to work fast. Our country was founded on fair judicial processes because the British kings and nobility of centuries ago often took what they wanted, when they wanted it, and from whomever they wanted. Be thankful we have a fair and deliberate process in place here in America.
