Paul Dugan

Competent and knowledgeable, but communication could improve

I hired Paul Dugan from DMAW Lawyers to handle a complex workplace dispute involving wrongful dismissal and safety violations. His recognized expertise in Labour and Employment Law, as well as Occupational Health and Safety, was immediately apparent. He provided a solid strategy and his litigation background gave me confidence during negotiations. The outcome was ultimately fair and professionally managed. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While Paul is clearly skilled, there were significant delays in receiving updates. Responses to emails often took several days, which added to my stress during an already difficult time. The billing was clear, but I sometimes felt like just another case file. For straightforward legal matters requiring his specific recognized skills, he is a capable attorney in Chicago. Just be prepared to manage your expectations regarding client communication and proactive updates.
