Who We Are
Choosing a lawyer to represent you when you sustain an injury can be challenging. Most people — including many of our clients — have never required the expertise and services of a lawyer.

The attorneys at Joseph T. Mullen, Jr. & Associates are here to expertly guide you through the legal process and recover fair compensation for any wrongdoing you have suffered, more often than not on a contingent fee basis — if we not do recover money for you by verdict or settlement, you do not owe us any money.

Mullen, Jr. & Associates is their power to hold insurance companies accountable for the wrongdoing their insureds have brought about, the injuries you sustained and your pain and suffering.
