How We Can Help You
Why Work With a Referral Firm Like Dandell?
Unlike “trial shop” firms that may push cases quickly through court, referral firms like Dandell focus on patient care, long-term case strategy, and connecting families with the very best trial lawyers in the country for their specific circumstances.
We know every mesothelioma case is different — exposure history, jurisdiction, and medical factors all matter. By collaborating with trusted trial partners, we make sure your case is handled by the right lawyer, in the right court, at the right time. And we don’t disappear once the referral is made — we remain by your side from start to finish.
Do You Get Less if Two Firms Work Your Case?
No. When firms collaborate, any fee split is between the firms, with your informed written consent; the total fee must be reasonable. This allows you to benefit from two teams for the same client fee, often improving outcomes. (ABA Rule 1.5(e); Texas Rule 1.04.)
Do referral arrangements help clients?
Yes. Dandell.com is the official website of Danziger & De Llano, LLP — one of the nation’s leading mesothelioma law firms. When firms collaborate, clients get the benefit of two teams working together without receiving any less in compensation. Referral fees are taken out on the law firms’ side — never from the client’s award. In fact, by pairing the right trial firm with our oversight, payouts are often larger because your case is placed in the best jurisdiction and double-checked by two firms. It’s essentially two law firms for the price of one.
Are referral fees ethical?
Yes. Referral fees are permitted under ABA Model Rule 1.5(e) and Texas Rule 1.04(f) when the client consents in writing, fees are reasonable, and responsibility is shared. With Danziger & De Llano, the client never pays more for two firms — the fee split is between attorneys only. And many times, the added expertise results in bigger overall recoveries.
How does Dandell keep referring attorneys involved?
As one of the nation’s leading mesothelioma law firms, Danziger & De Llano ensures referring attorneys remain fully engaged. We provide regular updates, strategic input, and shared decision-making, so clients get the benefit of both our national reach and the trial firm’s courtroom experience. This second layer of oversight helps strengthen case preparation and results.
Why choose a referral firm like Dandell over a “trial shop”?
Trial shops often push cases quickly for turnover. Our approach is different: we focus on patient care, place cases with the right trial firm for maximum impact, and remain involved from start to finish. This means your case is handled by a specialized trial lawyer while our firm continues to support, monitor, and guide the process. With Dandell, you don’t just get a law firm — you get two highly experienced firms working for the same fee, with one goal: maximizing your recovery.
