Serious injuries require serious representation.

If you have been injured due to someone else's carelessness or someone you care about has been negligently hurt or wrongfully killed, you need to know two things about your chosen legal counsel as you go about picking up the pieces of a broken life.

First, you need the comfort of knowing that you have secured representation by a firm that can and will effectively take your case to court and try it before a jury if a fair pre-trial settlement cannot be reached on your behalf. You should have the assurance that you have hired a firm that will fight for your interests in all arenas of the civil justice system. Stated simply, you need to be represented by a trial lawyer, not a settlement lawyer.

Second, it is essential to know that “personal” injury cases require the personal attention and legal skills of an actual lawyer. It is reasonable for you to expect that when you hire a law firm, you will have an attorney, not a bunch of “legal assistants,” that will handle your case from start to finish. Likewise, you should expect to have direct access to your lawyer (not just his/her secretary) and you should expect to have significant input on the outcome of your case.

This is the philosophy of The Dow Firm, P.C. and to uphold it, we strictly limit the type and number of cases we handle to ensure our clients’ needs are personally and completely met be it through trial or settlement.

A message from the law firm's founder, J. Dow III

I believe injury victims need a strong legal voice to protect their interests. However, I know the need for service does not stop there. Besides a voice, clients must have representation from a firm which also has a "legal ear" that actually listens to their needs and acts upon their requests. For that reason, clients who hire my law firm are provided direct access to me at all times. I feel that if a person is willing to trust my firm with the gravity of their real-life affairs, I should trust them with my home and cellular telephone numbers. After all, my firm exists to meet clients' needs and sometimes clients have needs which arise beyond normal business hours. I want my clients to have my audience when they need it because personal injury cases are truly "personal".
