Bryan began his career more than a decade ago as a clerk at the Washington State Supreme Court, after graduating at the top of his class from Seattle University School of Law. Five years before joining Metier Law Firm he founded Doran Law, a single lawyer firm devoted to catastrophic injury victims. “I have talked to lawyers at firms who handle dozens of cases at a time – some run more than a hundred. I chose a different model. I kept the caseload small, and limited my practice to victims with life-changing injuries who deserved substantial financial assistance to deal with their loss. I wanted to run every case with a full court press, and I wanted to know my clients personally.” It was a model forged by his early career. The first several years of Bryan’s career, Bryan’s practice included corporate litigation. He founded his firm to bring the intensity of “high stakes” corporate litigation to injury cases.

After more than 25 years in law at the government, small, large and humongous  law firms and being General Counsel for William H. Gates III (at Cascade Investment, LLC), in 2005 I decided to set up my own law firm.  I have had a wonderful legal career and thought there was no better time to become a solo practitioner.  It's been a great decision, as I  found that I do love practicing law - I just did not need the headaches of being a partner in a major law firm or answering to a "boss."  When my clients call, they get me on the phone.  When they need a document, I prepare it.  From my years in Seattle law practice, I know lots of great lawyers, in big firms, little firms and solo practitioners like myself.  So, when my clients need special expertise that I don't have, it's easy to connect them with the right lawyer.
