Profile
Fearless Advocacy for Victims of Injustice
Mickelsen Dalton LLC is a dynamic trial law firm based in Charleston, South Carolina, dedicated to handling high-stakes litigation for individuals and families. The firm was founded in 2019 by attorneys Brian Mickelsen and Danny Dalton, who first met while serving a two-year mission in the slums of Argentina. This shared experience of witnessing the struggles of the powerless shaped their legal philosophy: to be a relentless voice for those who have been wronged. Unlike high-volume settlement mills, Mickelsen Dalton focuses on complex, catastrophic cases involving severe injury, wrongful death, and systemic negligence.
High-Stakes Litigation
The firm specializes in cases that require significant resources and a willingness to go to trial:
- Negligent Security: Representing victims of violence (shootings, assaults) on unsafe commercial properties, holding apartment complexes and businesses accountable for failing to protect visitors.
- Human Trafficking: Taking bold legal action against hotels and hospitality chains that knowingly facilitate or turn a blind eye to sex trafficking.
- Catastrophic Injury: Advocating for survivors of life-altering events, such as spinal cord injuries, brain trauma, and severe burns.
- Wrongful Death Lawyers: Supporting families who have lost loved ones due to the gross negligence of corporations or individuals.
- Gun Violence: fighting for victims of shootings caused by inadequate security measures or reckless conduct.
Accident Representation
Mickelsen Dalton also applies their aggressive litigation style to motor vehicle claims:
- Truck Accident Lawyers: investigating collisions involving semi-trucks to uncover safety violations and driver fatigue.
- Car Accident Lawyers: Handling severe auto accidents with a focus on maximizing recovery for medical needs.
- Motorcycle Accident Lawyers: Protecting the rights of riders injured by negligent drivers.
A Mission-Driven Firm
Clients choose Mickelsen Dalton for their passion and fearlessness:
- Global Perspective: Both founders are fluent in Spanish and bring a compassionate, worldly view to their practice.
- Trial Ready: They prepare every case as if it will go to verdict, a strategy that often forces better settlements from opponents.
