About Donegan Legal Solutions
Guidance You Can Trust
Because It Comes From Experience Still Being Earned.
A Florida legal consulting firm founded by an attorney who is still practicing, still developing strategy, and still doing the work — not one who used to.
Still at It
Built on What
Is Still Being Done
Most consulting services are built on what someone used to do. Donegan Legal Solutions is built on what Chris Donegan is still doing. Chris joined Barnes Trial Group in 2021, and his move to Of Counsel in April 2026 created the space to launch DLS and expand his work with Illutamy — while keeping him actively connected to Florida trial practice.
As Of Counsel, he remains involved in the strategy, development, and handling of personal injury cases across Florida, which means the perspective he brings to every consulting engagement reflects the legal environment as it exists right now, not as it existed years ago.
Both Sides
Nearly a Decade and a Half
on Both Sides
That foundation rests on experience that few in this space can match: 7 years managing cases from the defense side — advising the country's largest insurance carriers on exposure, evaluating plaintiff cases as an adversary, and understanding exactly what moves the needle for the people sitting across the table.
That was followed by more than 7 years representing plaintiffs, building legal departments, trying cases, and developing the kind of practice that only comes from results.
The gap between knowing the law and achieving the best result for clients is bridged by strategy, preparation, and presentation.
Whatever Your Practice Needs
Every Engagement,
the Same Foundation
- A mediation deck built to move an insurance company before the conference begins
- An arbitration package developed to prove a case in front of a panel
- A trial presentation built for the jury you will actually face
- Coaching and mentorship to sharpen the attorneys handling your most complex cases
- A partner to help build the operational infrastructure a growing plaintiff practice needs
Every engagement draws on the same foundation: an attorney who has been on both sides of every table your clients will ever sit on, and who is still there today.
