Why Danna McKitrick?

“I was attracted to the way the firm is run and the absence of the 'command and control environment' present in large firms. Danna McKitrick provides me with a platform to accomplish what I feel, as a lawyer, is important: the critical mass to offer clients a broad range of services and a sophisticated, experienced team of attorneys to deliver them. This combination serves clients effectively.”
Rich Huck, veteran litigator & mediator, joined the firm in 2009
“After interviewing with a number of firms, I chose Danna McKitrick upon meeting the attorneys and experiencing the open door culture. Instead of a formal mentoring program, you can walk into any colleague's office, whether an associate or a principal and get the support you need including the ability to tap into years of experience beyond your practice areas. I also value the fact that I can refer a matter to any colleague within the firm with complete confidence that the matter will be done well.”
Jenn Doering, associate, promoted from law clerk in 2008
“Given a well-thought-out plan, the firm has never balked at supporting development of a practice area, sending an attorney to a CLE, or marketing a person’s experience. Danna McKitrick is a huge proponent of marketing. A six-eight year associate on a partner track at a larger firm or even other mid-sized firms, doesn't generally bring in much business of their own. Here, we are given the opportunity and the backing to market our practice.
Patrick Murphy, Big 4 CPA firm alum, past partner of a private law practice, joined the firm in 2006
