Dollar, Burns, Becker & Hershewe

What Dollar, Burns, Becker & Hershewe does

Dollar, Burns, Becker & Hershewe, L.C. is a Kansas City, Missouri-based personal injury law firm organized as a Missouri LLC and led by a partnership that includes founding partners Tim Dollar, Tim Becker, Jeff Burns, and Tom Hershewe, plus subsequent-generation partners Jill Kanatzar, J.J. Burns, Josh Becker, Lauren Dollar, Jordan Dollar, and Rachel Stahle. The firm represents individuals and families in catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, trucking and motor vehicle accidents, sexual assault and abuse, nursing home abuse and neglect, spinal cord and traumatic brain injury, product liability, and insurance bad faith matters, with a national trucking practice that has tried cases in 33 states alongside a regional Missouri–Kansas core. Service delivery is human-attorney-driven; the firm explicitly has no proprietary technology platform, and the business runs on attorney expertise, case-result reputation, referral networks, and direct-to-consumer intake rather than software or automation.

The firm earns revenue exclusively through contingency fee arrangements, typically approximately one-third of any settlement or jury verdict, with the percentage varying by case stage and complexity and with no fees charged absent recovery. Go-to-market combines 24/7 phone and online direct intake, free initial consultations, paid advertising for personal injury prospects, and referral channels from medical providers, insurance professionals, and other attorneys, all supported by published case results, attorney profiles, and practice-area pages on the firm's website (dollar-law.com). Reported client outcomes include over $1 billion in cumulative settlements and verdicts, with individual matter results ranging up to a $186 million motor-vehicle verdict for a child with a spinal cord injury and an $82.3 million truck-crash jury verdict; the firm has also been continuously recognized from 2020 through 2025 in Best Law Firms, Super Lawyers, America's Top 100, and National Trial Lawyers rankings. There are no funding rounds, M&A activity, external investors, or parent-company relationships indicated in the source material; the firm is privately held by its partners.

Revenue model

1. Contingency Fee Representation: The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no attorney fees unless the firm secures a settlement or jury verdict on their behalf. The firm earns a percentage of the recovery, typically one-third of the settlement or verdict, with the percentage varying based on the stage at which the case resolves and the complexity of the matter. This aligns the firm's financial interest directly with the client's outcome.
