“We actually didn’t have any hope in the case. We thought we didn’t have a chance. We were told by other people that if it’s an act of God then we couldn’t win the case. He [Michael Joyce, Esq.] decided to take the case. We really didn’t have any hope but he turned it around and helped us out.”

Dane's Story

On January 21, 2016, around six o’clock in the evening, Dane visited a friend at a local college. Dane was sitting on one of the steps in a quad on campus surrounded by trees. In the center of the square there is a dirt patch with a tree that is approximately thirty feet tall. The base of the tree was in a small patch of saturated dirt. Many of the trees were supported supported by metal beams and support rope, but not this one. That tree fell on top of Dane, striking him on the back of his head and neck. That tree had no supports or rope holding it in place. Dane suffered injuries as a result of the tree falling. Upon performing a scene investigation his attorney, Michael Joyce, discovered the tree that struck Dane had been rotting at the base.

Dane hired David Allen & Associates to help him with his case. Within a few months his attorney, Michael Joyce, was successful in reaching a settlement with the school. “I thought I was going to be out of luck and I was going to have to pay the $3500 for the medical bills from the hospital. I was unsure how I was going to come up with the payment. After he decided to take the case he gave me more hope and confidence in the case at that point. I felt real comfortable with him taking the case. It all worked out. I will definitely come back to David Allen & Associates if something happens.”
