Mullen & Mullen Law Firm has been a fixture of North Texas personal injury practice since 1983 — a family-owned boutique with offices in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, and Fort Worth (plus St. Louis), now in its 43rd year. For accident victims comparing Dallas firms, two numbers frame the comparison: more than $800 million recovered for thousands of injured clients, and 105 appearances on TopVerdict.com’s Texas Top Settlements lists over just the past five years.

The firm’s structure is its pitch. Rather than running a high-volume operation where paralegals shoulder the work, Mullen & Mullen assigns each client an attorney who personally manages the case from intake through resolution. Its lawyers bring more than 104 combined years of injury experience. Founder Regis L. Mullen started out as an insurance adjuster — learning the industry’s playbook from the inside — and has practiced personal injury law for 59 years. Managing partner Shane V. Mullen, a three-time Texas Super Lawyer honoree and member of the Million and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forums, has practiced for 24 years. Senior associate Joseph R. Morrison, also a member of both Advocates Forums, was counsel of record on a jury verdict recognized among the top five Texas premises liability results, with 21 years in practice.

The economics favor clients, too. While the standard Texas contingency fee runs 33.3 to 35 percent for pre-litigation settlements, Mullen & Mullen charges a discounted 29 percent — a difference that puts real money back in an injured person’s pocket. The firm fronts the resources to hire experts and deploys in-house accident investigators early, aiming to maximize settlements without the delay and expense of a lawsuit, while remaining willing to litigate when insurers won’t pay fairly. It also helps clients without health insurance find doctors who defer payment until the case concludes. Many new clients arrive by referral from former ones. This is a strong fit for car wreck and injury victims across the DFW Metroplex who want direct attorney attention, a below-market fee, and a firm with a four-decade track record. Consultations are free, and no fee is owed unless the firm recovers.
