Our company retained Mr. Kissane and his team at Cole, Scott & Kissane to defend a complex product liability claim that threatened significant exposure. With his 37 years of experience, particularly in product liability defense and personal injury litigation, he immediately understood the technical nuances and strategic landscape. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury Litigation - Defendants was evident in his meticulous case preparation and commanding presence during depositions. He successfully navigated the matter to a very favorable settlement well before trial, saving us immense time and resources. His expertise in both insurance law and commercial litigation provided a comprehensive defense strategy. While his billing was as expected for an attorney of his caliber, communication from his support staff regarding routine updates could occasionally experience brief delays. Overall, Daniel Kissane is an exceptional advocate whose deep knowledge of Florida law delivers outstanding results.
