Donovan O'Connor & Dodig, LLP
Overview
I became an attorney after beginning a career in the insurance field as a claims adjuster. So my background in insurance litigation is extensive.
I'm a stickler for detail. It forces me to scrutinize files more than most people would expect. But as a lawyer, that gives me a familiarity with my cases that is a real advantage. I'm also very competitive - I like to win. Organization and thorough preparation are key.
It is essential to respond to people. Communicating with clients, keeping them up-to-date on their cases, is extremely important to me. At the end of the day, I try not to leave any messages on my desk.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
