Van Dorn & Curtiss – Award Winning New Hampshire and Vermont Personal Injury Lawyers

Until recently, most of Van Dorn & Curtiss’ clients have been specially referred by other lawyers because of our firm’s experience and special expertise in representing victims of serious personal injury. Now you can contact us directly and entrust your case to the lawyers that other lawyers depend on. If you want the highest level of skilled, knowledgeable personal injury legal representation in the New Hampshire or Vermont area, call on the lawyers of Van Dorn and Curtiss.

Once you are a client of Van Dorn & Curtiss, you can rest assured that your claim will be in the capable hands of the most experienced and successful personal injury lawyers in the New Hampshire and Vermont regions. We have a track record of achieving maximum jury verdicts and settlements in Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, and other Northeastern states. This includes record-setting jury verdicts in New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Maine.

We are an award winning firm. In 2005, Ed Van Dorn and Robin Curtiss were awarded the prestigious New Hampshire Trial Lawyers Special Recognition Award for the Dedicated Pursuit of Justice. This award was given to Ed and Rob by their peers for their work on behalf of a seriously injured victim of an industrial accident. Their handling of the case led to a record settlement and changes in the New Hampshire law that benefited workers injured by defective equipment in the workplace. This is the second time Ed Van Dorn has received an award for outstanding practice from the New Hampshire Trial Lawyers. Ed and Rob have also been featured in national legal publications including United States Lawyers Weekly and Trial Magazine, the monthly journal of the American Trial Lawyers Association. Ed has served on the Board of Governors for both the New Hampshire and Vermont Trial Lawyers Associations. Both Ed and Rob frequently lecture and teach continuing legal education courses on topics ranging from jury selection to effective presentation of evidence.

Much of our work takes place with the insurance companies of those responsible for causing serious personal injuries. The insurance companies know us and our reputation and are well aware of our willingness to go to court to obtain the maximum compensation for our clients. This positions us well to negotiate generous settlements for our clients that other personal injury lawyers without the track record and experience in court are unable to achieve.

Van Dorn & Curtiss is a highly focused personal injury law firm, dedicated to offering the highest quality legal services to personal injury victims and their families. Our advanced trial advocacy, along with the relationships of trust and confidence we forge with our clients, allows us to achieve consistently excellent results for personal injury victims and their families. We consider it an honor to serve our clients in New Hampshire, Vermont, and all of Northern New England.
