Exhibit 99

THE DOLAN COMPANY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – November 12, 2013 – The Dolan Company (NYSE: DM), a leading provider of professional services and business information to legal, financial and real estate sectors in the United States, today announced financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

“The third quarter was a period of change as we work on building for the future,” said James P. Dolan, chairman, chief executive officer and president. “We were able to sell our largest NDeX mortgage default processing operations during the quarter, which eliminated the negative cash flows from these businesses, while providing some cash to pay down debt as well as a more predictable cash flow stream in the future.”

“Our Business Information Division continued to be affected by lower public notice advertising,” Dolan said. “Similar to previous quarters, public notices in the third quarter felt the impact of lower mortgage default volumes, which reduced revenues and profitability. We believe our public notice revenue should stabilize as we enter 2014,” Dolan said.

“Meanwhile, we experienced some challenges in our Litigation Support Services segment in the third quarter. Revenues for this segment decreased by 28% during the quarter, including a 33% decline at DiscoverReady, our e-discovery business. I should point out that DiscoverReady’s third quarter is compared against a record third quarter last year. Through the first three quarters of 2013, DiscoverReady is up 14%, which is consistent with our previous guidance,” Dolan said.

“DiscoverReady’s third quarter revenues were affected not only by the quarterly lumpiness that is inherent to the e-discovery business, but also decreased primarily as the result of a period of reduced work from DiscoverReady’s largest customer. Despite these near-term challenges, we remain encouraged by the opportunity and growth potential within the e-discovery market,” Dolan said.

“During the third quarter we continued to make progress toward improving our balance sheet. We generated $5.8 million in free cash flow, which was used in part to pay down our net debt to $128.7 million at the end of the quarter. Our net debt has been reduced as a result of our free cash flow from operations, working capital management, and payments from our NDeX sale transactions,” Dolan said.

“Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we signed a sixth amendment to our credit agreement with our banking syndicate. We view this amendment as a short-term solution to our balance sheet as we explore options to provide a broader long-term solution to our capital structure,” Dolan said.

“Due to continued trends of declining public notice advertising revenue, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $35.4 million,” Dolan said.

2013 Guidance

The guidance covers revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the Professional Services Division, including NDeX Minnesota, and the Business Information Division, and it includes corporate costs. The company’s 2013 financial guidance is:

This guidance presumes the following: 1) Litigation Support segment revenues and adjusted EBITDA will be flat to slightly up; 2) Business Information Division revenues will be down year-over-year by low double digits; 3) depreciation expense will be $5.7-$5.9 million; 4) amortization expense will be $8.9-$9.1 million; and 5) there will be 30.2 to 30.4 million fully diluted shares outstanding. This guidance excludes the effect of any divestiture or other transactional activity during the remainder of 2013.

Third Quarter 2013

Financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012 are as follows:

Professional Services Division Results

The Professional Services Division provides specialized services to the legal profession through Counsel Press and DiscoverReady. Together, Counsel Press and DiscoverReady compose the company’s litigation support segment. Counsel Press is the largest provider of appellate services in the United States, and DiscoverReady provides outsourced discovery management, including document review, data hosting and processing services, to major corporations and law firms.

Division revenues for the third quarter were $19.9 million, a decrease of 27.5% from $27.4 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was the result of lower revenue at DiscoverReady.

All but $0.5 million of Professional Service revenue came from the Litigation Support segment. The remaining $0.5 million of revenue came from NDeX Minnesota and was flat with last year. NDeX Minnesota generated $0.1 million of EBITDA for the quarter.

Direct operating expenses within the Professional Services Division decreased 15.6% to $8.8 million during the third quarter of 2013, from $10.4 million for the same period in 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.9 million during the third quarter of 2013, a 15.7% decline from the same period in 2012. The lower operating expenses reflect the decrease of operating expenses at DiscoverReady.

Business Information Division Results

The Business Information Division publishes print and electronic legal publications, business journals, court and commercial media and other highly focused information products and services, operates web sites and produces events for targeted professional audiences in 19 geographic markets across the United States.

Business Information Division revenues for the third quarter of 2013 were $15.6 million, a 9.9% decrease from $17.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. The majority of the decrease was driven by lower public notice revenues.

Direct operating expenses for the Business Information Division were $5.6 million during the second quarter of 2013, a 9.2% decline compared to $6.1 million last year. In addition, SG&A expenses of $7.2 million were 2.3% lower than last year.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2013, the company held $2.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $15.6 million for the same period last year. During the third quarter of 2013, the company generated $6.5 million of cash from operating activities and had $5.8 million of free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures from continuing operations. Quarterly capital expenditures from continuing operations were $0.7 million. Days sales outstanding were 72.1 days for the third quarter of 2013, down from 75.4 days in the third quarter of last year.

Total debt outstanding at the end of the third quarter was $131.5 million, of which $106.8 million was under a term loan facility. Net debt was $128.7 million, down $33.8 million from the end of 2012 and a decrease of $45.9 million from a year ago. At September 30, 2013, the combined weighted-average interest rate on the company’s credit facilities was 5.8%. The leverage ratio at the end of the quarter was 4.2 times total debt to trailing twelve-month pro forma adjusted EBITDA, which is within the maximum of 5.0 times allowed under the senior debt covenants for that period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting in the United States. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions, and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, The Dolan Company reports the following non-GAAP measures:

The Dolan Company provides these measures because it believes that they are helpful to investors in comparing year-over-year performance in light of certain non-recurring charges, and to better understand its operating performance and profitability, competitive position and future prospects. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net income attributable to The Dolan Company. In addition, it should be noted that the company’s calculations of adjusted EBITDA, cash earnings, cash earnings per diluted share, and free cash flow may not be comparable to the calculations of such measures by other companies.
