History

The founders of Donovan Searles, LLC each have over twenty years of experience litigating consumer and investor issues against public and private corporations.  Both Mr. Donovan and Mr. Searles have argued before the Supreme Court of the United States, and have appeared before countless state and federal courts throughout the United States.  The crossed quill pens reflected in the banner of the website symbolize this fact, as only those lawyers who have argued before the Supreme Court are presented with quill pens as a memento of their appearance before the Court.

Because many consumer and investor claims are too small to pursue economically on an individual basis, Donovan Searles typically has concentrated on class actions.  The class action procedure enables claimants to vindicate legitimate claims economically and efficiently as representatives of similarly situated consumers and investors.  In most instances, Donovan Searles represents consumers and investors on a contingent fee basis, meaning that the Donovan Searles lawyers are not paid unless and until a successful result has been achieved for their client.  As a result, the firm is highly selective in the cases it pursues.
