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.

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!

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.

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. His hard work and legal knowledge helped me in getting the insurance limits for pain and suffering allowed. It was more than I expected. Thank you for everything you did for me. I highly recommend Joseph Morrison with Mullen & Mullen Law Firm.Kimberly Greer Nichols ★★★★★ I hired Shane Mullen as my personal injury lawyer for a slip and fall case.

Shane and Mullen & Mullen did a great job for me and I couldn't be more pleased.Razieh Shoorab ★★★★★ As a future chiropractor who also works for a successful chiropractic office, I deal with many personal injury cases as well as different lawyers. 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. As an experienced client I suggest that if you ever involve in an accident and need an attorney, do yourself a favor and call Shane Mullen. He will represent you with a passion for justice. Thank you Shane, you are amazing!Razieh Shoorab ★★★★★ There is no way I can express my gratitude towards Mullen & Mullen law firm.

Do You Have a Strong Claim?
At Mullen & Mullen, we strive to settle the majority of the claims we accept, just like most lawyers do. However, what sets Mullen & Mullen apart from other personal injury attorneys in Fort Worth is your enhanced potential for a more substantial settlement in your favor.
To maximize the likelihood of your claim’s success, several key elements must be established with a “preponderance of the evidence.” This means that it is more probable than not that the other party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Here’s what we assess:
Was There a Duty of Care Owed by the At-Fault Party?
To establish legal liability, it is essential to demonstrate that the defendant owed you a duty of care. This duty of care essentially implies that they should act reasonably in situations that could foreseeably harm others.
For instance, your doctor owes you a duty of care due to their extensive training and expertise. They are expected to provide a level of care beyond that of an average person. On the other hand, if you inquire with a grocery store clerk about a product’s ingredients and potential allergic reactions, you likely do not have grounds for a personal injury claim. The clerk’s duty is to sell food, not to offer medical advice regarding its contents.
Was the Duty of Care Breached?
The next step is proving that the negligent party breached their duty of care. This can be particularly challenging, especially in cases of medical malpractice.
In essence, you must demonstrate that the at-fault party acted unreasonably in a given situation. For example, in the context of driving, there is an obligation to operate a vehicle in a manner that does not endanger other drivers. If you cause an accident while texting and driving, you have likely breached your duty of care toward other motorists. However, if you swerve to avoid road debris and cause an accident, you probably haven’t breached your duty of care because you acted as a reasonable person would in the same circumstances. In such a scenario, it’s unlikely anyone can sue you for resulting damages.
Did the Breach Lead to Your Injuries?
You must also establish a causal link between the breach of duty of care and your injuries. Insurance companies often work diligently to argue that your injuries resulted from unrelated causes. For instance, they might claim that injuries from a prior accident are responsible for your current condition, rather than their customer’s negligent behavior.
This is where our personal injury attorneys excel. We possess the expertise to counter insurers’ arguments and demonstrate that your injuries indeed stem from the negligence of their customer.
Did the Damages Occur Within the Past 2 Years?
In Texas, there is a relatively short two-year statute of limitations. This means that you must initiate your legal claim within two years of the date of your accident. Failure to do so could result in the dismissal of your claim by the court.
Although two years might seem ample, in the legal realm, it is a limited timeframe. Therefore, it is advisable to file your claim as promptly as possible following the accident. Delaying the process makes it more challenging to gather evidence and gives the at-fault party more time to build their defense. Don’t provide them any additional advantages.
Did You Avoid Critical Errors?
Texas law does not require perfection. You need not isolate yourself from society, living in fear that any misstep will jeopardize your claim. However, it’s crucial to be cautious and avoid certain mistakes.
For example, sharing content on social media, no matter how innocuous it may seem, is not advisable. Insurers can potentially use anything you post against you. Additionally, since Texas is a “partial fault state,” where you can be found partially responsible for your injuries, insurers might seek to minimize their liability by attributing some blame to you.

Witness our legal expertise in action through this compelling story, showcasing how a client triumphed in securing a settlement of $962,500.00 for a neck injury sustained in a commercial truck accident.
On a routine day, a truck driver was traveling west on US 287 but failed to exercise caution, leading to an unsafe lane change. Tragically, this resulted in a collision with a motorist who suffered a neck injury. Complicating matters, the motorist had a significant history of spine surgery.
Insurance companies often exploit pre-existing conditions to diminish their payouts. We foresaw this challenge and anticipated the argument that the driver’s injuries were partially due to her prior spine surgery.
In Texas, the law abides by the “Eggshell Doctrine,” mandating compensation for all injuries attributable to the accident, irrespective of pre-existing conditions exacerbating them.
To bolster our client’s case, attorney Shane Mullen recommended meticulous documentation of any new or intensified symptoms arising post-accident. This involved thorough medical records detailing the client’s multiple laminectomies, procedures to repair damaged vertebrae.
During negotiations with the insurer, the predictable defense emerged, asserting that the accident’s impact couldn’t have necessitated surgery. Shane strategically emphasized the documented new symptoms, highlighting how even a moderate accident could aggravate existing injuries.
Ultimately, our tenacity prevailed, compelling the insurer to pay $962,500.00. Notably, our client saved $70,000 due to our reduced 29% case fee, as her claim was settled without resorting to a lawsuit. This victory underscores our dedication to securing the rightful compensation for our clients, even in challenging circumstances.
