Marshall Dore Louis

Dore has consistently been recognized by his peers as a leading trial lawyer for more than a decade. He has tried more than 50 trials before juries in both state and federal courts, obtaining acquittals in criminal cases and civil verdicts in favor of his clients. Many of these cases have involved lengthy and complex federal trials. Dore has also briefed and argued numerous civil and criminal appeals before various state and federal appellate courts.

In addition to his trial work, Dore has successfully represented individuals and corporations targeted in investigations conducted by the United States for criminal or civil wrongdoing. These matters involve the internal investigation of complex facts and law, and often, but not always, presentation of the results of the investigation to the government to avoid criminal or civil prosecution. Dore’s extensive federal trial experience is of great benefit to his clients in these circumstances.

Dore is known for his ability to collaborate with other attorneys and professionals to provide effective client representation and for his creative problem solving.
