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.

I was so impressed with Chris Dolan and glad I chose him as my attorney. He's smart, tenacious and highly creative. Chris gets the defendant to settle at an amount that truly compensates you for your injuries.

Great reputation backed up by actual great service. Referred by former employee. They never once forgot anything or missed any deadlines.

Hired Law Firm

I had a very disappointing experience with Dolan Law. I spent almost two months communicating with the firm, uploading documents, providing nearly twenty pages of information, and completing all questionnaires. Despite this, my case manager,Karla Soto , repeatedly sent me the same questions because she never reviewed my emails or the documents I submitted. She didn’t respond for weeks, then contacted me again asking questions that were already answered in my files. It was clear she had not communicated anything to the attorney or properly managed the case. After all this delay, I suddenly received an email saying the firm “does not have time” to take my case just two days after she requested more information. This level of disorganization and lack of responsibility is unacceptable for a time-sensitive legal matter. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm.
