Law Office James Dorgan, P.C.

Law Office James Dorgan, P.C. Full service law office located in downtown Fairhope, Alabama focusing on car accidents, personal in I do not represent insurance companies.

Personal Injury

I assist people who are injured or killed due to someone else's mistake. In evaluating any injury claim, I need to see three things in order to take the case to a jury - clear liability, an insured defendant, and substantial damages. If you have all three of those elements, I would be honored to assist you on a contingency fee basis. Car Accidents

I assist individuals when injure

d in a car, multivehicle, or trucking accident. I only take car accident claims in which the liability is clear, and when the defendant has liability insurance coverage. I typically do not like to sue, and only sue as a last resort if the defendant is unwilling to be reasonable on settlement. I will not take frivolous claims, or unsubstantiated claims. Nearly 90% of my injury cases settle prior to trial. In addition, a high percentage of cases which I handle in this area are by referral from other law firms, indicating strong confidence by other lawyers in my office to handle these type of cases. Contingency Fee

Wrongful Death Mr. Dorgan assists families who have lost a loved one in a car or trucking accident, airplane accident, train accident, or death on the job. From the initial intensive investigation, to hiring experts, to opening the victim's estate, to taking the case to trial, Mr. Dorgan wants to be your advocate to insure that justice is served. Contingency Fee

Business Formation

From forming a for profit corporation, to a LLC, to a partnership or even a sole proprietorship, I can assist you with all aspects of the formation of your business. From selecting a business name, to checking trademark conflicts, to forming your company, negotiating partnership agreements, non-competition agreements, and even employee manuals, my office provides nearly every service that a business could need in this area.

Criminal Defense

Regardless of whether it is something minor, such as possession of alcohol by a minor, or something more serious, such as possession of ma*****na, I can assist you. Set Fee

DUI

With the threshold of guilt to prove a DUI going down, this has lead to an ever increasing number of DUI arrests. Couple that along with higher fines and more severe penalties, the need for an attorney in this area is absolutely critical. Our office has assisted individuals charged with DUI in multiple area municipal courts, district court and circuit court. Set Fee

Estate Planning

With some of the most competitive fees around for wills, powers of attorney, and living wills, and either a one or two day turn around on most documents, and in some cases, documents prepared while you wait, I produce results. Please call ahead and we can send you the estate planning questionnaire so that the documents are ready when you arrive. Set Fee

Our office has been busy. As local counsel, we just secured a six figure settlement on the eve of a specially set jury trial before Honorable Reid here in Baldwin County against a State Farm insured who ran a stop sign severely injuring our client. We helped secure nearly $2 million in assets for a Washington State vulnerable adult who was being swindled by his housekeeper following a trial conducted completely on Zoom. In a traditional bench trial in Mobile County before Honorable Brooks, we secured a $75,000 trial judgment in a breach of contract dispute. All of this while setting an office record for the most estate planning packages completed in a single month. For over 25 years, we have assisted clients with their car accidents and injury cases, criminal defense for those in trouble, contract disputes, and preparation of wills and estate planning packages. Call or stop by our downtown Fairhope law office and get the experienced, local, and affordable attorney you deserve for any and all of your legal needs.

Alabama small businesses - the Revive Plus grant program is the second wave of funding for Alabama small businesses, non-profit, and faith-based organizations. Through this initiative by Governor Kay Ivey, $200 million of Alabama's CARES Act funding is being dedicated to providing grants of up to $20,000 to reimburse qualifying entities for business interruption expenses. The application process for this grant is being administered by the Alabama Department of Finance.

Please note, this grant is in addition to any state of Alabama Coronavirus Relief Fund grant previously received, including the Revive Alabama Small Business, Non-Profit, Faith-Based, and Health Care Provider grants.

The application period for the Revive Plus Grant Program will be open from noon November 23, 2020 through noon December 4, 2020.

As this is a first come, first served program which runs until the funding is exhausted, I strongly recommend that all Alabama small businesses negatively impacted by the pandemic apply as soon as possible.

Hurricane Sally ripped off portions of the roof here at our office in downtown Fairhope and the resulting leaks made a huge mess. Hats off to the Single Tax Colony team (who owns this beautiful building on Fairhope Avenue and allows us to rent a portion of the upstairs), and ServPro for working so diligently on getting the building back functional again. We have been and continue to meet with clients via Zoom, FaceTime, or drive up, and are close to wrapping up the final distribution on the HESI / Halliburton Settlement despite these challenges. I think we can all agree that 2020 has been one of the craziest years ever ! Hang in there everybody.
