The foremost goal at Dolman Law Group is to provide accessible client communications to our existing client base. All clients are provided the cellphone number and email address for their handling attorney. This facilitates communications and ongoing dialogue between the client and legal counsel. We often hear horror stories from clients who were formerly represented by other law firms in which they never met nor received a call from their attorneys and the claim was handled by a paralegal or legal asisstant .
At Dolman Law Group, we handle all cases from the beginning to the end with limited exceptions. We maintain an active litigation calendar throughout the State of Florida. We have the resources and ability to litigate personal injury claims against the largest of insurance carriers.
I am an avid sports fan and obsessively follow, the Tampa Bay Bucs, Mets, Rangers as well as the University of Miami. I am also the proud father of a two year old son named Conrad.

At Dolman Law Group our practice is strictly devoted to representing individuals injured as a result of negligence exhibited by an individual or a corporation. Further, we handle bad faith claims where an insurance carrier has breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealings that exists pursuant to any insurance policy issued in the State of Florida. We actively litigate claims throughout the State of Florida.
As a Clearwater traumatic brain injury attorney, I am often retained to represent individuals who have sustained a traumatic brain injury. We take pride in being up to date and ahead of the curve on brain injury claims and the science behind such. For more information on traumatic brain injury claims, please visit my website at www.dolmanlaw.com
I have handled first party PIP (personal injury protection) claims to first and third party extra contractual claims (bad faith) which we actively and regualrly handle at Dolman Law group.
