Success Stories

The Results Speak For Themselves

I was in a desperate situation as result of being wrongfully accused of causing an accident. Attorney Doyon secured a warrant to access surveillance video at the scene of the accident that exonerated my liability. Through Attorney Doyon's efforts I secured a sizable settlement for damages, pain and suffering and reimbursement of medical expenses. Attorney Doyon's professionalism, and compassion was to my case and my needs were outstanding and that same professionalism and compassion is shared within the entire firm and especially with Ashley Davis who helped me on all matters throughout the proceedings of my case.

In the summer of 2021, we were hit by a drunk driver on the highway. It was the first big accident either of us had ever been in and we were worried because the driver who hit us did not have insurance, and we felt that the initial police report was missing important details. Luckily, we found Attorney Doyon who, with his expertise and compassion, guided us through this difficult time in our lives. We are so thankful to Attorney Doyon and Ashley Davis. They are exceptionally thorough and knowledgeable, very communicative, and just genuinely caring people. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
