Attorney Information - Don Sullivan

WHO WILL HANDLE MY CASE?

If you retain Sullivan Law Offices, PC, to represent you, and if we agree to represent you, your case will be handled personally from start to finish by Don Sullivan. We do not foist clients off on associates or helpers.

Mr. Sullivan has thirty years of experience in representing injured people. He obtained his B.A. in English from LeMoyne College in 1967, and was awarded the only full scholarship to attend Syracuse University College of Law, where he was honored with admission to the Justinian Honorary Society and the Order of the Coif, and where he was an Editor of the Syracuse Law Review and co-editor of the Annual Survey of New York Law.

He graduated from law school in 1970 and was then admitted to the New York Bar, where he practiced for five years before moving to Wyoming in January, 1976.

He has maintained his licensure in New York ever since then, and is also admitted to various federal courts as well as the United States Supreme Court.

He is a member and past President of the Wyoming Trial Lawyers Association and a member of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, the San Antonio Trial Lawyers Association and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.

SERVING YOU AND THE PUBLIC INTEREST

People often come to this office after other several lawyers have turned them down because "the law isn't on their side."

We recognize that, frequently, a lawyer's first task is to help the client bring the law into synch with modern reality.

We have taken on any number of fights where, in order to get a proper result for the client, it has been necessary to challenge the existing legal rules.

For Example:

McClellan vs. Tottenhoff - establishing the rule that bars serving alcohol to minors must answer legally for the harm their under-aged customers do on our highways.

_xxx - upholding the rights of grandparents to participate in the lives of their grandchildren.

DeShaney vs. Winnebago County Department of Social Services - raising before the United States Supreme Court for the first time the challenge of making child protection workers legally responsible for their failure to protect abused children when they are aware of the abuse. Protecting children is a special interest of Don Sullivan.
