OUR REPUTATION
"Your firm has been fantastic to
work with for guiding me through
the patent approval process. I
would recommend your firm to "They are spot on. Engaged when
anyone who is looking for legal you need to talk, transparent with
advice for patent preparation process and procedure. I worked
and processing." - Todd G. with them for a Trademark. It's a
lot harder than you think but they
were there for me the entire way."

prompt, professional, responsive. I

client. He has a true talent of with me on my trademark
helping others..."- Amy J. questions. He was professional,
and I left our phone call
understanding what best
practices to take when filing for a

OUR SURVEY SAYS
JOB SATISFACTION
"In my experience working at DBL, I have definitely felt like my efforts are valued and appreciated. I love how I am
challenged and encouraged to keep learning and improving. I genuinely enjoy all the work I do. My manager is an
exceptional mentor who provides excellent guidance and support while inspiring growth, both professionally and
individually. I'm very grateful for the position I have here as a part of the DBL team." – Holly Brezee Catania
FIRM CULTURE
“DBL provides many opportunities for associates to learn and grow as an attorney. My managing partner is an amazing
mentor who provides challenging and interesting work and is supportive of my desire to develop and grow my own client
base. DBL has even provided financial and marketing support for my business development initiatives. ” – Wright Lewis
HOURS
“Working at DBL is a prime example of ‘work-life balance’ functioning in practice, not just on paper. While many law firms
pride themselves on a ‘work-life balance,’ in reality, the day-to-day is rarely anything resembling ‘balance,’ and far closer to
an endless factory. Here at DBL, the partners and executive committee recognize that modern technology and legal issues
facing our clients allow DBL attorneys and staff to work fluidly as necessary to get the job done and done right – but not
necessarily in a strict 9-5 schedule. While working at DBL, you’ll never find yourself short on new opportunities and projects
to work on. However, our management team recognizes that well-rested, engaged, and happy attorneys will be far more
successful and provide more exceptional legal counseling than one ‘burning the candle at both ends.’ I’m happy to work at a
firm that recognizes the keys to success for both its staff and clients comes from a true application of the work-life balance
that many preach, but few master.” – Michael Lehr
QUALITY OF WORK
"Everyone is focused on the highest quality of work that we can do. The Attorneys, the Paralegals, as well as the staff. We all
want to get it perfect." – Brian Higgins
TRAINING & MENTORING
“DBL devotes a great deal of time and resources towards training its attorneys. There is an extensive, regularly updated
internal knowledgebase with links to useful websites and copies of legal forms. Also, junior and senior attorneys work closely
together to provide the junior attorneys with opportunities to try the work and senior attorneys to review, correct and offer
feedback on the work.” – Alex Butterman
PRO BONO COMMITMENT
“DBL offers unique pro-bono opportunities that allow me to serve a greater purpose and give my time to those most in need
in our community. Pro-bono work or 'public service marks the difference between a business and a profession. While a
business can afford to focus solely on profits, a profession cannot. It must devote itself first to the community it is responsible
to serve. I can imagine no greater duty than fulfilling this obligation. And I can imagine no greater pleasure.' - Justice
Sandra Day O’Connor.” – Ashley MillerYou can also read
