You have friends in high places. Right down the street.
It’s what makes us, us: an unusually deep and eclectic pool of talent – each attorney a specialist in his or her field – whether personal injury, real estate, corporate, or family law – all under one roof. And though none of that is unusual for a top law firm, there is one very important difference: our roof is down the block – and not deep in the city.
DBD opened in the year of our nation's bicentennial, and though our service area has grown by leaps and bounds since, we (as well as our hearts and homes and families and little league teams, etc.) remain devoted to our friends and neighbors, right here.
45 years later, our success – from new clients, new acquisitions (and some amazing new talent) still comes by way of great word of mouth, not advertising.

Welcome to the DBD tip jar. Please help yourself.
It’s just something else unique to DBD: we arm our clients with the kind of inside information that other firms either don’t like to talk about, or do – as long as they can bill for it. The way we see it, that’s not how you build lasting relationships. If you have a legal question or need a tip, feel free to hit us up – right here.
