Exceptional experience with Mullen & Mullen Law Firm. They guided my sister through a highly complex post-accident situation without insurance, handling every aspect with remarkable expertise and professionalism. Their ability to coordinate with the hospital and navigate insurance challenges was truly impressive. Joe and his team were responsive, transparent, and deeply committed to achieving a fair outcome. Their dedication and client-focused approach made an otherwise overwhelming process seamless. Highly recommend their services without hesitation.
I absolutely cannot recommend this firm enough. I had an accident where I was originally blamed but I had a dash cam that showed I wasn't at fault. The other insurance attempted to pay a very small amount even though both vehicles were totaled and I was taken to the hospital with issues that are lifelong. I received numerous calls every day from attorneys but they never made me feel heard. After a ton of research, I contacted Mullen and Mullen and they came to meet with me the next day. Started working on my case immediately and were excellent at communicating and getting me what I needed every step of the way. The final settlement was seven times what I was originally offered. Josh was very upfront about everything and explained in language I understood to the point where I never had a question. There is a reason this firm has 5 stars and the reason is that they are the best. Stop searching, contact Mullen and Mullen, be patient and you'll be extremely happy with the results.
Honestly the best law firm ever, the process was easy to understand, and they are upfront about everything, keeping you inform about what is happening with your case every step of the way. They handle everything for you to make sure you are done right! Josh was too awesome! Make sure that he is with your case as well, he'll do you right. Now, this is my first time dealing with legal issues with a car insurance trying to get rid of me as soon as they can, but when I tell you that they made it felt like a piece of cake! Excellent work!

2026 Update: These were the first and only accident lawyers that I contacted with I was involved in an recent accident because I knew I will be well taken cared of. Everyone that I worked with, including the receptionists was kind, patient, and professional. They let me know what will happen step by step and how long it may take, and immediately answered all my possible questions. Zero Complaints at all, if you are patient with them, they will take care of you like First Class.
Josh Banks is amazing! After being in a very bad car accident and having to go through a lot of therapy and it was hard, after almost 2 years we finally settled and Josh didn’t allow the insurance company or anybody to take advantage of me or low ball me. He helped me every step of the way and was very professional, helpful and definitely knew what he was doing. Thank you Josh and Mullen & Mullen for everything you’ve done for me!
I can't possibly recommend this law firm more. Had a vehicle accident with the other driver blaming me and contacted Mullen and Mullen. Met with me the very next morning at a place I chose and started working on my case the same day. From doctor visits to dealing with the other insurance company, it was extremely easy with them handling it. Josh stayed in contact the entire time giving me updates and what step they were on with the process. I had zero experience in this and I now feel like a pro with how much he explained and the detail he gave. Save yourself time and energy and just stick with this firm.
I appreciate Joshua and the rest of the Mullen and Mullen law firm for helping me during this time. It was definitely a process when accidents occur but this team was truly there. They communicate and educated me on the process. I really appreciate the team at Mullen and Mullen. I recommend them to anyone.
After my car accident, Joseph Morrison, provided the expert guidance I needed. They were honest, responsive, and worked tirelessly on my case. I am very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Mullen & Mullen to anyone in need of a great personal injury lawyer. Thanks again.
Overall my experience with Mullen & Mullen was great! Extremely grateful for the entire team. Since the beginning they all made me feel like I was in great hands and the support was phenomenal. They kept in touch with me throughout my recovery made sure I was healing properly from my injury, always answered all the questions I had promptly and kept me in the loop with my case. Highly recommend this Law Firm to anyone who is seeking legal representation.
THE REAL DEAL !
No bullshit.
They care about YOUR WELL BEING.
JACK-My attorney personally called me
KIM C- Great communication paralegal/legal aid
MATT-Case advisor, got me GOID HEALTHCARE
Mullen & Mullen made the entire process after my car accident so much easier. They allowed me to focus on healing while they took care of everything else, from dealing with the insurance company to handling all the details I didn’t have the energy for. They always answered all of my questions truthfully and upfront without giving me the run around or being hard to reach.

I especially want to shout out Greg, who communicated with me every step of the way and always made sure I knew exactly where we were in the process. His updates and transparency made everything feel so much less stressful.

I’m very grateful for their help and highly recommend them!!!

Benefit From The Lowest Contingency Fee

Personal injury firms take 33.3% – 35% on pre-suit settlements. Our family puts more of YOUR settlement money in your pocket by offering a discounted 29% contingency fee on pre-suit settlements. Most of our claims settle without the filing of a lawsuit.

Why Choose Mullen & Mullen to Handle Your Case?

According to TopVerdict.com, our attorneys consistently achieve some of the highest recoveries in the state. As a matter of fact, in the last five years, we’ve made their Texas “Top” lists 105 times. We also placed on their #1 settlements list for Dallas county (in different categories) 9 times. (2025 lists not yet published). When you factor in our reduced 29% contingency fee, we are confident we will help you recover more. At Mullen & Mullen, we pride ourselves on routinely recovering full policy limits for our clients without the necessity of costly and time-consuming litigation.

We have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic technology through well-established relationships with medical doctors, surgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, neurologists, counselors, and other healthcare providers in the entire DFW Metroplex. You receive the quality medical attention you need from local providers near where you live or work. These providers specialize in treating people hurt in accidents of all kinds and they know how to properly document injuries to meet the legal burden of proof in your personal injury case. These providers are also willing to delay billing collections until after your case is resolved so you can focus on recovering without additional stress. Physicians that don’t routinely treat accident victims as part of their practice usually turn away patients over fear of being involved in the legal process or fear of health insurance companies refusing to pay accident-related healthcare bills. Please call us at 214-747-5240 for a free consultation and some advice.

Even if you don’t have health insurance or can’t afford your deductible, Mullen & Mullen will secure you the quality healthcare and state-of-the art diagnostics you deserve with no upfront out of pocket costs.

Shane, Joseph and Regis have 104 years of combined experience practicing personal injury law. That doesn’t even include the combined experience of the attorneys that serve as of-counsel to Mullen & Mullen at no additional cost to our clients. Our firm continues to evolve, but we never forget our Core Values. We do the right thing, handle cases the way we would want our own case handled, and we truly listen to clients. We have over 40 years of local knowledge, and that matters!

Some lawyers forget that they represent the client, but we never have. Our legal team will make YOU the priority. You are the boss, and we will respond quickly to your requests for case updates and assistance. We guarantee that when you need to speak to your counsel, you will speak directly to your counsel, not to a paralegal or secretary, because that’s the way it should be.

Most firms hire an investigator to help develop evidence on your case and charge you back for that service. Our firm, however, has 2 full-time accident investigators on staff and we offer their services to you for free. This is another way we will maximize your compensation.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Video footage is worth a lot more. Our in-house videographer allows us to capture the true impact the accident has on your life beyond mere words on a piece of paper.

LOWEST PRE-SUIT CONTINGENCY FEE

The average industry fee is 33.3%-35%. Our exceptional track record allows us to offer a pre-suit contingency fee that is well below industry standards at just 29%, leaving more of your settlement in your pocket.

IS YOUR CLAIM VIABLE?

At Mullen & Mullen, we aim to settle the majority of claims we take on, just like most other lawyers do. However, what sets us apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is the enhanced potential for a more substantial settlement in your favor.

To enhance the likelihood of your claim’s success, several critical elements need to be substantiated through a “preponderance of the evidence.” In simpler terms, this means there should be a greater than 50% probability that the negligence of the other party directly contributed to your injuries.

Here’s what we assess:

Did The At-Fault Party Owe You A Duty Of Care?

To establish legal liability, it’s imperative to demonstrate that the defendant had a duty of care towards you. A “duty of care” simply implies that one must act with reasonable caution in situations where harm to someone else could be foreseen.

For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care. They underwent years of training and charge for their services, indicating a certain level of expertise beyond the layperson. However, seeking advice about allergens in a grocery store product from a clerk is unlikely to form the basis of a personal injury claim. In this case, the clerk’s duties are related to distributing and selling food, not providing medical advice regarding ingredients.

Was The Duty Of Care Breached?

Subsequently, it is necessary to establish that the party in question breached their duty of care. This can be especially challenging, particularly in cases of medical malpractice.

In essence, it is vital to demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a specific situation. For example, while driving, you have a duty of care to operate your vehicle in a manner that does not jeopardize the safety of other drivers. Texting while driving and causing an accident would likely constitute a breach of this duty. On the other hand, if you swerve to avoid debris on the road and subsequently cause an accident, you probably haven’t breached your duty of care, as your actions align with what a reasonable person would do in the same situation. In such instances, it is unlikely that anyone can sue you for resulting damages.

Did You Sustain Injuries As A Consequence Of The Breach?

It is crucial to prove that the breach of the duty of care directly led to your injuries. Insurance companies often make efforts to attribute your injuries to unrelated causes. For example, they might argue that your current injuries are the result of a previous accident rather than their customer’s negligent behavior.

This is where our personal injury lawyers step in. We possess the expertise to counter insurance companies’ claims and establish that your injuries indeed occurred due to the negligence of the other party.

Did The Damages Occur Within The Last 2 Years?

Texas has a relatively short “statute of limitations” of two years. This means that you must initiate your legal claim within two years from the date of your accident. Failure to do so will result in the court dismissing your claim if you attempt to file it later.

While two years may seem like a substantial timeframe, in the legal realm, it is rather limited. It is advisable to file your claim as soon as possible after your accident. Delaying the process makes gathering evidence more challenging and provides the at-fault party with additional time to build their defense. Therefore, it’s in your best interest to take prompt action.

Have You Avoided Critical Errors?

Texas law acknowledges that individuals can make mistakes and still pursue legal claims. However, it’s essential to be cautious about specific missteps. For example, posting anything on social media, regardless of how innocuous it may seem, is not advisable. Insurers have been known to use social media content against claimants.

It’s worth noting that Texas follows a “partial fault” system, which means that you can be assigned partial responsibility for your injuries. This can lead to a reduction in the compensation owed to you by the at-fault party. Hence, seeking guidance from a personal injury lawyer at the earliest opportunity is wise, as they can provide advice on avoiding pitfalls that could potentially cost you thousands of dollars or even jeopardize your claim entirely.

SUCCESS STORY: HOW WE SECURED A $962,500 SETTLEMENT FOR A NECK INJURY IN A COMMERCIAL TRUCK ACCIDENT

Witness our legal expertise in action as we recount the story of how one of our clients triumphed with a $962,500.00 settlement for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident:

The scenario unfolded when a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise due care, resulting in an unsafe lane change. This recklessness led to a collision with another motorist who suffered a neck injury. It is worth noting that the injured party had previously undergone a significant spinal surgery, which posed a potential challenge, as insurance companies often employ pre-existing conditions to reduce their payout obligations.

The inherent predicament with pre-existing conditions is that insurance companies may attempt to attribute a portion of the injuries to the individual’s prior medical history. In this case, we foresaw such an argument and prepared accordingly.

Texas law, guided by the “Eggshell Doctrine,” holds that the plaintiff should be compensated for all injuries stemming from the accident, even if pre-existing conditions exacerbate those injuries. This principle underscores that one must take the plaintiff as they are, regardless of their prior medical history.

To bolster our client’s case, Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or aggravated symptoms resulting from the accident. This involved obtaining medical records detailing the client’s post-accident symptoms. Subsequently, the client underwent multiple laminectomies to address the damaged vertebrae.

When negotiations with the insurance company commenced, they predictably contended that the accident’s force could not have necessitated surgery. Shane skillfully highlighted the documented new symptoms and underscored that even a moderate accident could aggravate pre-existing injuries.

In the end, the insurance company was compelled to pay a substantial settlement of $962,500.00. Moreover, our client benefited from a 29% reduced case fee, saving her $70,000, as her claim was resolved without the need for legal action.
