A seasoned and formidable advocate for professional liability

Our organization retained Mr. Brostron when we faced a complex professional negligence claim related to our consulting services. From the outset, his depth of experience was evident. Having practiced for over five decades, specifically in defending professionals, he brought a calm, strategic perspective that was invaluable during a stressful time. He referenced insights from his extensive work in medical malpractice defense, which translated perfectly to our situation, helping us identify and neutralize the plaintiff's key arguments. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in related fields was not just a title; it reflected in the meticulous preparation and authoritative presence he brought to depositions. We felt exceptionally well-represented. The one area where we occasionally wished for more was in the timeliness of routine email updates; sometimes there were brief delays, though all critical communications were immediate. Overall, Kenneth Brostron of Lashly & Baer is a top-tier attorney whose judgment and courtroom acumen are exactly what you want when defending your professional reputation. We achieved a highly favorable settlement, due in large part to his counsel.
