Introduction
Dunaway Law Firm P.C. describes its purpose precisely: maximizing recovery and repairing shattered lives. That framing signals something specific about the clients the firm serves. From its Austin office at 7701 N Lamar Blvd Ste. 206, Austin, TX 78752, the firm represents individuals who have been seriously injured or killed due to others’ actions. The local phone is (512) 469-7941, toll-free at 1 (877) 469-7941. The practice is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with nights and weekend appointments available.
This is a trial firm. The attorneys do not simply handle claims. They prepare cases as if they will go before a jury, and that orientation affects every aspect of their client service model, from how they document injuries to how they engage with insurance company representatives.
Practice Areas
Personal Injury
Dunaway Law Firm focuses its personal injury practice on cases where clients have suffered serious injuries due to another party’s negligence. The firm represents individuals across Texas, principally from its Austin base, and accepts cases involving car accidents, truck collisions, and other injury incidents. The firm’s stated mission is to achieve maximum recovery, not to resolve cases quickly at reduced value.
The firm’s approach to case management reflects its trial orientation. Cases are built with the expectation that insurers may not offer fair settlements, and that litigation may be necessary to achieve a result that actually reflects the scope of the client’s losses. Clients are advised to let the firm handle legal matters while they focus on their health and recovery, which reduces the risk of clients making statements or decisions that could later harm their cases.
The practice’s positioning against insurance companies is explicit. Attorneys work for injured families, not for carriers whose financial interests conflict with adequate compensation. This distinction matters because insurance adjusters are trained to resolve claims at the lowest possible number, and a firm that understands that dynamic handles the process differently than one that expects good-faith offers.
Wrongful Death
Families who have lost someone due to another party’s negligence can bring wrongful death claims in Texas. Dunaway Law Firm handles these cases, which involve both economic losses such as future income and non-economic losses such as the loss of companionship, guidance, and the relationship itself. Wrongful death claims in Texas carry specific procedural requirements, including limitations on who may file and what categories of damages may be pursued, and the firm’s experience with these matters ensures claims are built correctly.
Drunk Driving Incidents
Cases involving drunk drivers form a recognized part of the firm’s practice. These incidents frequently involve clear liability, but insurance coverage limits, the potential for punitive damages, and the involvement of multiple insurance policies can make them more complex than standard negligence cases. The firm handles claims against drunk drivers and, where applicable, parties that may share responsibility for the driver’s conduct.

Client Focus
Dunaway Law Firm operates on a referral-friendly basis and accepts cases from clients and referring counsel alike. The firm’s stated values include trust-based client relationships and the principle that every case is important, regardless of size or complexity.
The model is explicitly not a volume practice. Injured clients are treated as people dealing with genuine crises, not as files moving through a pipeline. The firm’s client philosophy recognizes that a person who has been seriously injured or lost a family member to negligence is dealing with loss on multiple levels simultaneously. Legal representation that prioritizes the client’s interests throughout the process, rather than the convenience of early resolution, reflects that recognition.
Free initial consultations are available. The combination of extended hours and weekend appointment availability means access to an attorney is not limited to standard business hours, which matters in situations where injuries limit a person’s mobility or where someone needs answers after a workplace incident or late-night accident.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Dunaway Law Firm handle cases throughout Texas?
Yes. Although principally based in Austin, the firm represents clients across Texas in personal injury, wrongful death, and drunk driving cases.
What does it mean that this is a trial firm?
A trial firm prepares every case as if it will go before a jury, rather than treating litigation as a last resort. This preparation strengthens the firm’s negotiating position with insurance carriers, who know that the firm will litigate if a fair settlement is not offered. The practical effect is that cases handled by trial firms tend to receive more serious offers earlier in the process.
Are evening and weekend appointments available?
Yes. While regular hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the firm makes appointments available in the evenings and on weekends for clients who need them.
Does the firm work with referring attorneys?
Yes. Dunaway Law Firm explicitly welcomes inquiries from referring counsel in addition to direct client contacts.
