Donald Schlyer has over two decades of successful trial experience. Listed to the right are just a few of his successful trial verdicts.

Occasionally a case will settle before it goes to trial.  Settlement, of course, is always at the approval of the client, and only the client.  Some Settlement amounts  are listed as "Confidential".  In those cases, the amount of the settlement must remain confidential either because of agreement by both parties, or in some cases, for protection of our client.
