Our Mission & History
About Us
About Donlon Brand
At Donlon Brand LLC, we are dedicated advocates who fight for justice on behalf of those harmed by negligence, dangerous products, and corporate irresponsibility. Founded by attorneys Melissa Donlon and Nick Brand, our firm has built a reputation for taking on challenging cases that many other firms avoid—particularly those involving cutting-edge legal issues in consumer protection and personal safety.
Comprehensive Advocacy Across Multiple Practice Areas
Our expertise extends across several crucial practice areas where we’ve established a strong record of successful outcomes for our clients.
Pioneering Justice in GPS Tracking Device Litigation

While we handle a variety of cases, Donlon Brand has established itself as a national leader in cases involving GPS tracking devices and stalkerware. We were among the first law firms to successfully hold manufacturers accountable for continuing to sell covert tracking products after learning these devices were being used to facilitate stalking, domestic violence, and even homicide. Our groundbreaking settlements have created new standards of corporate responsibility in this emerging area of law, helping protect vulnerable individuals from technology-enabled abuse.

Our Approach: Depth, Dedication, and Determination
What truly sets Donlon Brand apart is our commitment to exhaustive research and case preparation. When we take your case, we believe in it completely—committing to aggressive investigation that leaves no stone unturned. Unlike firms that process cases like assembly lines, we provide personalized attention where you work directly with our founding attorneys throughout your entire case.
Both Melissa Donlon and Nick Brand built their careers at larger personal injury firms in Kansas City and Chicago before establishing Donlon Brand. This experience allowed them to develop proven strategies that have recovered millions for clients while maintaining the direct client relationships that larger firms often sacrifice.
At Donlon Brand, you’ll never be “just another case number.” We deliberately limit our caseload to ensure each client receives the time, attention, and strategic thinking their situation deserves. Our collaborative approach means two legal minds work on your case instead of one, developing comprehensive strategies for even the most complex claims.
We Do The Heavy Lifting
When you’ve been injured or lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, taking legal action can feel overwhelming. Our attorneys understand these challenges and work to make your role in the case as straightforward as possible. We handle the investigative work, develop targeted legal strategies, and negotiate assertively with opposing parties.
While many cases settle outside court, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial—and we’re never afraid to take your fight to the courtroom when justice demands it.
