In the first two years of its existence, DBMS tried a total of 16 cases, of which 15 were medical malpractice. DBMS obtained a defense verdict for its client in each case. 16 – 0. It was a fine beginning.
Successfully defending doctors, nurses, peri-professionals and hospitals has played a dominant role in the history of DBMS. DBMS’ representation spans virtually every specialty of medicine and surgery. Few firms, if any, can match the subject matter familiarity and expertise of DBMS attorneys.
The quality of DBMS reputation is reflected in the multitude of honors in the field of medical malpractice defense that the firm and its attorneys have earned such as being chosen as Illinois Leading Lawyers and Illinois Super Lawyers, and recognition as one of a very select group of leading medical malpractice law firms annually by U.S. News & World Report
