Donohue Brown Mathewson & Smyth LLC was founded in 1995. The goal was to establish an entrepreneurial firm focused solely on litigation that was highly responsive to client goals and needs.

The firm’s initial practice was concentrated in the areas of professional liability, product liability and insurance coverage. As the firm has grown, it has maintained its core practice, but has expanded its capabilities into complex litigation, class action defense, mediation and arbitration and the defense of mass tort cases.

The firm’s lawyers have tried hundreds of cases and have developed a reputation as highly effective advocates for their clients, while at the same time maintaining the sense of civility that is often lost in litigation today. The firm has tripled in size since its founding, reflecting the confidence of its long-time clients and its ability to attract new clients who need effective trial counsel in a wide variety of fields.
