Shorty, Dooley & Hall, LLC has a reputation for providing quality litigation services to all of its clients. Today, we act as strategic advisors to our clients in order to avoid litigation, where possible, implement alternative dispute measures when feasible, settle cases upon economic ground, if appropriate and mount a vigorous defense where required.

The quality of our work starts with the attention and focus we give our clients. We start by listening to our clients and determining their desired outcome in the matter, which is the first step in formulating our defense strategy. We determine the value of each piece of litigation and assess its significance in the overall scheme of the client's business. We then determine how best to effectively resolve the matter in the most cost effective manner.

Our business is client-driven, i.e., cases assigned by an insurer, adjusting firm or insured-directed, i.e., cases assigned by an insured with a self-insured retention or with the right to select counsel. Our practice encompasses all areas of Casualty Claims defense as well as issues involving coverage.
