In this powerful and revealing episode of Legally Speaking, attorney Chris Dolan explores the motivations behind the cases he takes at Dolan Law Firm. Chris explains his “three P’s” for case selection: Profit, Policy, and Pissed Off — and it’s the latter two that often drive his most impactful work.

The episode centers on Chris’s landmark case against Uber, following the tragic death of 7-year-old Sofia Liu in 2013. Outraged by Uber’s attempt to dodge responsibility, Chris filed the first wrongful death lawsuit against the company and pushed for legal reform. He shares how this case led him to help draft and pass California Senate Bill 2293, the first law in the nation mandating insurance coverage for rideshare companies.

Chris also discusses ongoing legal battles, including disturbing trends in assault cases involving rideshare drivers and the growing threat of forced arbitration, which strips victims of their right to a public trial. With passion and grit, he continues to fight for transparency, accountability, and justice in a rapidly evolving industry.
