In addition, I have substantial experience handling Class Actions including wage & hour cases as well as product defect claims.  However, for years prior to founding DKB I worked as an insurance defense counsel representing Fortune 500 companies through prominent insurance carriers.  By litigating from the opposite side, I gained invaluable experience and intimate knowledge of how insurance companies value lawsuits.  As such, I have the tools and skills to best position my client's case for maximum recovery in the least amount of time.  We are passionate, aggressive, litigators first and foremost, but we are also advocates who truly care about our clients' well-being. Our clients are family, they always talk directly with the handling attorney and we will never pass you off to a paralegal.  Call anytime for a FREE consultation regarding your potential claim.  If I cannot personally help you, I will find an experienced attorney who can.
