Our Practice
Since 1957, Dowd & Dowd has earned the trust of its clients, the judiciary, and the community through our consistent dedication to personal service, integrity, and zealous representation through legal services.
The vast majority of our representation is through contingency fee agreements. Contingency fee agreements allow our clients, many times injury victims, to prosecute their claims without paying attorney fees upfront; we are only paid out of a recovery made on behalf of the client. The client does not owe us a penny if we are unable to recover money on their behalf. This gives our clients a chance to stand on equal footing against some of the largest corporations and insurance companies in the world.
With a long tradition of service and trust, our firm is recognized for:
- Thorough, diligent and exceptional legal work,
- Loyalty and dedication to our clients, and
- High-quality legal representation.
We hope you will consider engaging our firm to represent you and that we can build a rewarding attorney-client relationship. Please feel free to call one of our experienced attorneys for a free consultation to answer your questions regarding your legal issues.
