HISTORY
David Elrod founded our firm based on a simple idea: provide clients superior representation with personal service, reasonable fees and without unnecessary overhead.
David Elrod also established the firm in order to make a commitment to the profession: to ensure the continuation of experienced trial lawyers. Since then, our experience, hard work and commitment to our ideals have resulted in Elrod being recognized as a premier national trial firm with outstanding results, including recovering over half a billion dollars for our clients in commercial and business disputes, and successfully protecting our clients from crippling liabilities and bet-the-company cases.
Our history is one of major success
The firm has played key roles in significant litigation from coast to coast, from the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars for energy clients in two of the largest bankruptcies in U.S. history in New York and Texas, to the trial of software defect and licensing cases in Oregon, and the defense of multi-million dollar liability claims.
