Mullen & Mullen Law Firm: Four Decades of Personal Injury Excellence in North TexasA Family Legacy of Advocacy and Results

In the competitive landscape of personal injury law, Mullen& Mullen Law Firm stands out not just for its impressive track record, but for its unwavering commitment to treating clients like family. Operating under the tagline "Join The Family®," this Dallas-based firm has built a reputation over more than 40 years as one of North Texas's most trusted advocates for injured individuals.

The Foundation: Experience That Spans Generations

Mullen & Mullen represents a true multi-generational legal practice. The firm was founded in 1983 by Regis L. Mullen, who received his admission to practice law in 1967 and brings 56 years of legal experience to the table. Regis's background is particularly noteworthy—he previously served as a Litigation Supervisor at Allstate Insurance Company, giving him invaluable insider knowledge of the tactics insurance carriers use to deny or reduce personal injury settlements. This unique perspective became the foundation for a law firm dedicated to leveling the playing field for injured individuals.

Today, the firm is led by Managing Attorney Shane V. Mullen, who has been handling personal injury cases for 21 years. Shane has been recognized by Thompson Reuters as a Texas Super Lawyer for three consecutive years and is a lifetime member of both the Million & Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forums. He also holds membership in Rue Ratings' Best Attorneys of America, further cementing his reputation as a top-tier legal professional.

Attorney Joseph R. Morrison rounds out the leadership team with 18 years of personal injury experience. Joe earned particular distinction when he served as counsel of record in a case recognized by VerdictSearch.com as a top 5 premises liability verdict in Texas. The case, Jeffrey Young v. ConAgra Foods, Inc., pitted him against a Fortune 500 company with annual revenues exceeding 11 billion dollars. Joe is a member of The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Trial Lawyers and also belongs to the Million & Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forums.

Combined with their of-counsel attorneys, the Mullen & Mullen team brings nearly 100 years of collective personal injury law experience to their clients' cases.

Record-Breaking Results

Mullen & Mullen's track record speaks volumes about their capabilities. According to TopVerdict.com, the firm's attorneys consistently achieve some of the highest recoveries in the entire state of Texas. Over the past four years, they've made the Texas "Top 50 Personal Injury Settlements" list 44 times and the "Top 100" list 70 times. In 2021 alone, one of their claims made the Top 10 list, eight made the Top 11-20 list, and ten made the Top 21-50 list.

The firm has obtained over 750 million dollars in settlements across a wide range of cases since its founding. Recent notable settlements include a 6.15 million dollar work accident settlement, a 4 million dollar wrongful death settlement, and multiple vehicle accident settlements exceeding 2.5 million dollars. The firm notes that some of their largest results cannot be displayed due to settlement confidentiality agreements, suggesting their actual performance may be even more impressive than public records indicate.

The Mullen & Mullen Difference: More Money in Your Pocket

What truly sets Mullen & Mullen apart is their client-first fee structure. While most personal injury firms charge 33.3% to 35% on pre-suit settlements, Mullen & Mullen offers a discounted 29% contingency fee on settlements that resolve before litigation. Since most of their claims settle without filing a lawsuit, this lower rate puts significantly more money in clients' pockets.

The firm also guarantees that regardless of the amount of medical bills, clients will receive money in their pocket or the firm will completely waive their attorney fees. This commitment demonstrates their confidence in their ability to secure meaningful recoveries for every client.

Comprehensive In-House Resources

Unlike many firms that outsource investigative work and charge clients for these services, Mullen & Mullen employs two full-time accident investigators on staff who are available to clients at no additional cost. They also have an in-house videographer who can document the true impact of accidents on clients' lives, going beyond what written descriptions can convey.

When necessary, the firm utilizes cutting-edge technology including 3D imaging videos to fully demonstrate the extent of clients' injuries to insurance companies, helping maximize claim values.

Access to Quality Medical Care

Mullen & Mullen has established relationships with medical doctors, surgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, neurologists, counselors, and other healthcare providers throughout the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. These providers specialize in treating accident victims and understand how to properly document injuries to meet the legal burden of proof required in personal injury cases.

Critically, these medical providers are willing to delay billing collections until after cases are resolved, allowing clients to focus on recovery without financial stress. The firm can secure quality healthcare and state-of-the-art diagnostics even for clients without health insurance or those who cannot afford their deductibles, with no upfront out-of-pocket costs.

A Client-Centered Philosophy

At the heart of Mullen & Mullen's practice is a simple but powerful philosophy: treat clients the way they would want to be treated if the roles were reversed. Unlike high-volume firms where clients are passed off to paralegals or face barriers to attorney access, Mullen & Mullen ensures clients can speak directly with their attorneys when needed—they'll even provide cell phone numbers.

The firm promises prompt responses to phone calls and regular updates at each stage of the case. As they emphasize repeatedly, "You are the boss."

Recognition and Awards

Mullen & Mullen's excellence has earned recognition beyond just their settlement results. The firm has been featured in Newsweek as one of the best in the USA for their commitment to excellence. They've also been awarded the prestigious title of Top Injury Law Firm in Dallas by Top Choice Awards™ for six consecutive years, from 2019 through 2024, based on customer satisfaction.

Client testimonials consistently highlight the firm's responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care. One client noted that the firm secured a jury award more than five times what the insurance company had offered. Another described how the firm "changed my life" and "helped me change my outlook on life after the accident."

Community Commitment

Mullen & Mullen takes pride in being a truly local firm. Operating under the motto "This Is Our Backyard™," they emphasize that North Texas has been their home for over 40 years. Unlike large out-of-town or out-of-state firms that establish satellite locations in Dallas-Fort Worth, Mullen & Mullen is deeply rooted in and committed to the local community.

The firm actively organizes, participates in, and contributes to charitable causes throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, believing in paying their success forward by helping the community that has supported them.

Practice Areas

Mullen & Mullen handles a comprehensive range of personal injury cases, including vehicle accidents, work accidents, wrongful death claims, and premises liability cases. Their experience spans everything from straightforward car accidents to complex cases against Fortune 500 companies.

Accessibility and Consultations

The firm offers free initial consultations with no pressure to hire on the spot. They'll come to clients' homes or hospital rooms if needed, and phone or Zoom consultations are also available. Their goal is to provide excellent free advice and allow potential clients to make informed decisions when they feel 100% ready.

The firm is licensed to practice law in Texas and Missouri, serving clients throughout North Texas from their Dallas base.
