Look at what clients have to say about Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann, LLP...

Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann is one of the small handful of firms we trust to handle our medical malpractice cases. They have great depth of talent that is able to successfully defend the most complex and sensitive of cases. I have the utmost respect for the work they do and the results they achieve.

Larry Smith, MedStar Health Corporate Office

 

Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann is a very capable and well-rounded team led by Mr. DeVries, who uses his vast experience to recommend thoughtful defense strategies. Mr. DeVries has the respect of the plaintiff's bar and utilizes his many relationships to obtain successful outcomes on cases. If trial is recommended, then this firm has a very good track record in the often difficult city jurisdiction.

Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann has excellent attorneys and excellent services for very reasonable rates. They not only handle [Products Liability] work but can also handle my banking/finance litigation work for very reasonable rates with exceptional results.

Kathleen Foster, Nissan North America, Inc.

 

Our company takes product liability cases to jury two to three times a year. The last three trials involved leg amputations and were venued in Long Island, Charleston, W.Va., and West Palm Beach. Mr. Cullen was lead lawyer in all three, and all were defense verdicts. He has won eight in a row for our company. If you need a lawyer who can win a verdict, Mr. Cullen's record is awesome. His proven success also has led to several settlements for reasonable numbers where the plaintiff's lawyer recognized his track record.

John Maxa, Crown Equipment Corporation

 

Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann LLP has a wide range of expertise in the medical malpractice arena. They are extremely professional and responsive to the needs of the organization.

Our experience with attorney Tom Monahan at Goodell, DeVries, Leech & Dann has been excellent. He is not only a great strategist and superior trial attorney, but understands the sensitivity of the political relationships our company is involved in. I would recommend Tom to anyone looking for a top-notch malpractice defense lawyer because of his inherent knowledge of the medicine involved and trial ability.

"Jeff is very experienced in the defense of products liability litigation. He is responsive to clients and always timely. He communicates without "legalese". He keeps the clients interest foremost, unlike those at many law firms, who appear to be more interested in billing than in the client."
