A Reputation For Excellence– Dressman Benzinger LaVelle is well known for its litigation experience.

DBL attorneys are experienced in litigation involving:

Medical malpractice defense
Breach of contract
Insurance coverage disputes

Trade secrets and business competition issues
Complex construction and real estate disputes
Bankruptcy
Debt collection
Employment practices
Corporate transactions
Lender liability

Depth Of Resources – In each of these areas, DBL emphasizes early, frequent and responsive communication with the client about the facts of a case, the legal issues, various strategies and cost. DBL seeks to handle cases realistically and pragmatically, and uses alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration where feasible. DBL attorneys also exploit fully the firm's litigation resources, including attorney round-table case evaluation when appropriate, paralegals, trained support staff, and electronic case presentation equipment. In addition to acting as lead counsel on litigation matters for regular clients, DBL often serves as local counsel to law firms from outside the region, and to Ohio attorneys who need local counsel in Kentucky.
