About Dolan Law Firm PC

A US News rated Best Law Firm for personal injury, car, bicycle, motorcycle & Uber accidents, employment discrimination & elder abuse cases. Over $250 million recovered for clients.

Since our founding in 1995, the Dolan Law Firm, PC has obtained over $250 million in settlements and verdicts for our clients in the San Francisco Bay Area and across California.

Firm founder Christopher Dolan has been repeatedly recognized as one of top trial lawyers in California. Mr. Dolan's numerous awards include the prestigious California Lawyer of the Year Award from California Lawyer magazine. A leader among trial attorneys, having served as the President of the Consumer Attorneys of California, Mr. Dolan today serves as the President of the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association.

Many of our cases involve personal injury and wrongful death claims due to the fault of others. We have a long and successful track record of litigating cases involving bicyclists, motorcycle riders, car drivers, Uber/Lyft passengers, and pedestrians injured or killed by cars, trucks, and other vehicles. We represent MUNI riders and other passengers injured while using public transportation. We also represent individuals who suffered lacerations, fractures, concussions, or spinal injuries from unsafe premises and property conditions or dog attacks.

We have an active and wide ranging employment law practice on behalf of employees in discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful retaliation and termination, and whistleblower (False Claims Act) cases.

We represent families whose loved ones were harmed or neglected at a senior or nursing facility (elder abuse) or school (student child abuse). Our clients include individuals seriously injured by law enforcement officers in police brutality and excessive force cases. Finally, we have an active practice for LGBT persons denied their equal rights.

We treat our clients with kindness, compassion, and respect. We provide each client attentive, personal service.

We assign each client an attorney who is responsible for litigating your case and regularly communicating with you. Our attorneys, however, work as a team under Mr. Dolan's supervision, drawing upon their considerable knowledge of the law and trial skills, as well as the firm's substantial financial resources and access to experts, to provide each client with superior legal representation.

With offices in San Francisco, Oakland, and later this year San Rafael, the Dolan Law Firm, PC possesses the experience, skills, and resources to successfully litigate your case.

My experience with Dolan Law was excellent. Not only were they sympathetic to what happened to me, I knew they really cared about making sure that I was going to be compensated correctly. Megan Irish was really exceptional with communicating and making sure that I understood everything that was going on during my year long case. They were able to negotiate a settlement that was more than I could have imagined. I am truly grateful and can not express enough gratitude for their hard work.

My experience with the Dolan Law Firm was exceptional. Mari Bandoma is an amazing attorney and I would recommend her to everybody. She is very personable and cares a lot about her clients. She is very educated and explained to me all the steps of the process so I can be more comfortable with my situation. I am very impressed by the advice that was given to me and the amount of attention I got. Thank you Mari Bandoma!

Working with Chris Dolan at Dolan Law Firm has been an exceptional experience. Chris is extremely detail oriented, communicates clearly, and maintains an impressive level of professionalism. What stood out most is his genuine support for veterans and his commitment to helping with my medical malpractice matter. I’d rate him 10 stars if I could

Chris Dolan and his team of attorneys are excellent. I first reached out to Dolan Law when I found myself in an unfortunate situation with my previous employer. Mr. Dolan and his associate worked hard on my behalf and were successful at achieving a great resolution on my case in a short period of time.

From the moment our family contacted the DOLAN LAW FIRM, and were placed in the able hands of Jeremy Jessup and his team, we have had the MOST positive experience we could imagine. The professional, positive, competent and responsive work of this firm has been amazing, and of such great value during a time of great personal crisis. We are indebted to Jeremy and his colleagues beyond words and without reservation.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
