A Single Standard of Work.
4 Practice Areas.

Mediation, arbitration, and trial presentations — plus conversion packages for cases that move forward — follow a path that starts with the record and ends with a production-ready file.

1. Review

   Case Materials Review

   Case materials are delivered in complete form at project initiation, along with a 50% deposit. An experienced trial attorney reviews the record and deposition testimony — analyzing what the evidence establishes, what it leaves open, and how to present it in the sequence that builds the strongest case.

   • Complete record and deposition review
   • Strategic evidence analysis
   • Delivery timeline confirmed in the SOW
2. Develop

   Case Theme & Narrative

   A clear case theme is developed before a single slide is designed. Theme framing, witness emphasis, narrative sequencing, and evidentiary structure are developed for the specific audience you are facing — adjuster, panel, arbitrator, or jury.

   • Case theme development
   • Liability and damages architecture
   • Presentation-specific recommendations
3. Deliver

   Build, Review & Delivery

   The presentation is built, reviewed by the attorney, revised, and delivered as a production-ready PowerPoint file your team can take into the room ready to use. The balance is due upon delivery.

   • 1 round of revisions after attorney review
   • Final production-ready file
   • Balance due on delivery
4. Continue

   The Next Stage

   If the case moves forward, the work moves with it. DLS-prepared presentations can be converted for arbitration or trial, and Mr. Donegan is available for real-time in-court consulting.

   • Presentation Conversion Packages
   • Real-time trial consulting support
   • Mentorship available alongside any package

Video engagements document injury impact, treatment progression, and functional limitations through structured interviews and an edited presentation designed for demand packages, mediation, and arbitration.

1. Prepare

   Witness Planning & Scheduling

   We identify who needs to be heard — the client, lay witnesses, and treating physicians or experts — and what each interview needs to establish. Your team secures witness participation, and interviews are scheduled in person or remotely.

   • Interview plan for each witness
   • Client secures witness participation and any compensation
   • Travel billed outside Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties
2. Capture

   Structured Interviews

   Each interview is conducted with a trial attorney’s understanding of what the case needs to show. Questions are structured to draw out injury impact, daily limitations, and the human story behind the medical records.

   • Up to 30 minutes of raw footage per interview
   • Interviews focused on the issues in the case
   • $1,000.00 fee for cancellation within 72 business hours
3. Edit

   Narrative Sequencing & Editing

   Footage is edited into a single, organized narrative. The editing is focused on litigation presentation quality — sequencing, clarity, and thematic organization — not cinematic production.

   • Up to 5 minutes edited per interview segment
   • Final video length set by package
   • Thematic organization and continuity editing
4. Deliver

   Review, Revision & Delivery

   The edited video is reviewed by your team, revised, and delivered ready for use. You determine the appropriate use and admissibility of all video materials in any proceeding.

   • 2 rounds of revisions included
   • Additional revisions billed at $500.00 per hour
   • Final edited video delivered

Mentorship & Strategic Coaching engagements provide senior-level strategic input for attorneys and legal teams at both pre-suit and litigation stages — through retainers, per-case coaching, event attendance, or hourly consulting.

1. Structure

   Choose the Right Format

   Some teams need ongoing access across a docket. Others need focused input at the moments that define a single case. We match the engagement to how you practice.

   • Monthly retainers: Light, Standard, or Premium Access
   • Associate Attorney Coaching Program, per case
   • Half-day or full-day event attendance
2. Review

   Materials Review

   Before each session, we review the depositions, transcripts, hearing materials, or case summaries that matter — so the time together is spent on strategy, not catching up.

   • Depositions, transcripts, and case summaries
   • Page limits set by session or engagement
   • Billed at $800.00 per hour unless included in retainer hours
3. Advise

   Strategy Sessions

   We work through the facts, the issues, and the strategic considerations together — drawing on experience from both sides of personal injury practice to help you see your cases from every angle.

   • Case evaluation and risk analysis
   • Deposition, mediation, and arbitration strategy
   • Trial preparation coaching
4. Progress

   Milestone Follow-Through

   Per-case coaching follows the file through the inflection points that define its trajectory — early case strategy, mid-litigation review, and trial readiness. The decisions remain yours; the goal is to make them with greater clarity and confidence.

   • Early Case Strategy: within 90 days of filing
   • Mid-Litigation Case Review: 9–12 months from filing
   • Trial Readiness Evaluation: 12–15 months from filing

Legal operations engagements are structured around what your practice actually needs — from pre-suit systems to litigation workflows and operational infrastructure.

1. Assess

   Strategy & Systems Review

   We review your current systems, structure, and goals — how cases move from intake through resolution, how your team communicates and delegates, and where the friction points are.

   • Review of current workflows and structure
   • Identification of scope and priorities
   • Pre-suit, litigation, and operational needs
2. Propose

   Fixed-Fee Proposal

   Most system design and buildout work is performed on a fixed-fee basis, with defined deliverables and a clear timeline confirmed in the Statement of Work.

   • Customized scope of work
   • Typically $25,000.00–$75,000.00 depending on scope
   • Hourly consulting available at $800.00 per hour
3. Execute

   Project Execution

   Workflows, forms, and SOPs are developed in structured stages, with ongoing collaboration and milestone delivery so your team can adopt changes as they are completed.

   • Workflow mapping and optimization
   • Forms, templates, and SOPs
   • Milestone delivery
4. Support

   Training & Implementation

   Monthly coaching is available for practices that want ongoing support through rollout and adoption — refining the system until it works for the practice, not the other way around.

   • Staff training and rollout guidance
   • System refinement and optimization
   • Monthly coaching: Light, Standard, or Premium Access

• Clarity

  Pricing Confirmed in Writing

  All additional work — extra records, depositions, slides, interviews, hours, or rush delivery — is quoted and confirmed in writing before it proceeds.

• Experience

  Led by a Trial Attorney

  Every engagement is led by an experienced trial attorney who has sat at counsel table on both sides of personal injury practice — not a vendor.

• Cutting-Edge

  Reflects Florida Practice Today

  Because Mr. Donegan is still practicing, every recommendation reflects what is working in Florida practice right now.

• Respect

  The Decisions Remain Yours

  Ultimate case strategy and legal decisions remain the exclusive responsibility of the attorney of record. We help you make them with greater clarity.
