The Hassell Law Group is proud to announce that founder and Managing Attorney Dawn L. Hassell has been selected for inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs.
This marks Dawn’s third consecutive year of recognition by Best Lawyers, following her selections in 2025 and 2026.
For our firm, this recognition is especially meaningful because Best Lawyers selections are based on evaluations from other attorneys. The continued recognition reflects the professional reputation Dawn has built during more than two decades of representing people who have suffered serious injuries because of the negligence of others.
Three Consecutive Years of Best Lawyers Recognition
Best Lawyers is one of the legal profession’s longest-established peer-review publications. Attorneys do not simply purchase inclusion. Recognition is based on confidential peer evaluations from lawyers familiar with the work of other attorneys practicing in the same geographic area and field of law.
For the 2027 edition, more than 32,000 attorneys participated in approximately 3.8 million peer evaluations.
Being selected once is an important professional distinction. For Dawn, being recognized in 2025, 2026, and now 2027 demonstrates an ongoing level of respect among fellow members of the legal profession.
“Being recognized by fellow attorneys is particularly meaningful because they understand the commitment, preparation, and perseverance required to successfully represent people facing life-changing injuries,” said Ms. Hassell. “I am grateful for this recognition and incredibly proud of the work our entire team does on behalf of our clients.”
More Than 27 Years Representing Seriously Injured People
Dawn has devoted more than 27 years to personal injury law, representing individuals and families throughout San Francisco, the Bay Area, and Northern California.
As founder and Managing Attorney of The Hassell Law Group, she handles serious and complex cases involving:
- Car accidents
- Commercial truck accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle and motorcycle accidents
- Premises liability
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Catastrophic injuries
- Wrongful death
Throughout her career, Dawn and The Hassell Law Group have secured numerous substantial settlements and judgments for injured clients.
These results include a $12.5 million settlement for a woman seriously injured in a head-on collision caused by a commercial truck driver, a $4.9 million settlement arising from a commercial vehicle collision, a $4.67 million judgment for a motorcyclist injured by a wrong-way driver, and a $4.5 million settlement for a pedestrian who suffered a traumatic brain injury after being struck in a crosswalk.
Every case is different, and past results cannot guarantee a particular outcome. But these recoveries reflect the level of preparation, advocacy, and commitment the firm brings to serious personal injury cases.
A Record of Professional Recognition
Dawn’s third consecutive Best Lawyers selection joins a growing list of professional honors earned throughout her career.
She has been selected to Northern California Super Lawyers for more than a decade, is a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, has been named to The National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and was recognized among Lawyer Monthly’s 2026 Top 100 Personal Injury Attorneys in the United States.
While these distinctions are gratifying, Dawn and the entire Hassell Law Group team remain focused on what matters most: helping injured people navigate some of the most difficult periods of their lives.
Serious injuries can affect a person’s health, ability to work, financial security, and family. Our role is to help clients understand their rights, hold negligent parties accountable, and pursue the compensation they need to move forward.
