Firm overview

DiCello Levitt was founded in 2017 as a new kind of law firm—one that is organized around the basic premise that everyone at the firm is a vital team member with a voice and talents that add value in any situation. Boasting best-in-class teams across a wide array of practice areas, DiCello Levitt cultivates a diverse roster of skilled litigators to advance the cause of justice for individuals, businesses, and government clients through class action, business-to-business, public client, whistleblower, personal injury, civil rights, and mass tort litigation.

The firm’s attorneys are highly respected for their ability to litigate and win cases, resulting in billions of dollars in recoveries for their clients and other class members. They are regularly appointed to leadership positions in headline-grabbing, high-stakes cases, including groundbreaking climate change litigation, some of the largest environmental contamination cases of our time, landmark privacy and data breach cases, some of the most significant private antitrust litigation over the past several decades, and numerous historic product liability multidistrict litigations.

Composing some of the most diverse leadership teams in multidistrict litigation history, DiCello Levitt’s attorneys continually achieve landmark victories across the firm’s practice areas, earning accolades and recognition for their innovative approaches to complex matters and tireless advocacy on behalf of their clients. Built on a strong foundation of integrity and experience and driven by results, DiCello Levitt has helped raise the bar for corporate conduct, governmental responsibility, and civil and human rights, paving the way for a more just and equitable world.

Venture Partners With Clients

DiCello Levitt has forged a reputation for success in complex litigation and arbitration, and the firm delivers results in innovative ways by venturing cases with its clients as partners, aligning its collective interests and enhancing its clients’ management of litigation risk. Because of these close venture partnerships, the firm’s clients are confident that DiCello Levitt will pursue their matters with unmatched tenacity and assess their mission-critical needs as the firm would for its own business. In case analysis and preparation, DiCello Levitt focuses on the end result—a successful settlement or trial verdict. The firm’s singular focus delivers cohesive and compelling thematic and evidentiary foundations. DiCello Levitt doesn’t use a set playbook; rather, its attorneys adapt their broad toolkit to each client’s unique goals and needs. Correspondingly, the firm’s flexible billing arrangements demonstrate its commitment to every client’s particular circumstances, creating opportunities to litigate the most challenging of cases to a successful resolution.

Innovation in Trial Science

Through its trial-first approach, DiCello Levitt crafts practical and effective legal and business solutions for its clients. At the heart of that approach is the DiCello Levitt Trial Center.

The Trial Center is founded on a proprietary, scientific system that reveals the nuances of a jury’s mindset and enables the pursuit of truth with clear insights into what persuades, connects, and wins. The center’s seasoned team leads high-stakes trials for clients, wielding the firm’s advanced strategies to gain an edge over adversaries who cling to traditional trial methods. The Trial Center team also trains lawyers to achieve a higher-level performance in their trial strategies, case preparation, and courtroom presentations.

DiCello Levitt has led more than 500 focus groups in the last ten years, including comprehensive studies about a myriad of issues. The Trial Center’s attorneys are among the nation’s most sought-after trial lawyers because of their knowledge of and experience in the art and science of modern courtroom advocacy. They are frequently called on to teach workshops and speak about the art of courtroom messaging and the neuroscience of communication to help other attorneys develop and shape how they convey critical concepts to judges and juries.

The insights and strategies that DiCello Levitt has developed through the Trial Center have materially enhanced the firm’s productivity and effectiveness. By researching and testing the biases, schemas, and prejudices of thousands of mock jurors, DiCello Levitt attorneys have sculpted their arguments to achieve successful outcomes in litigations concerning AndroGel, General Motors engine defects, and a host of other matters, including an opiate overprescription case, police misconduct litigation, and the largest individual civil rights verdict in U.S. history. This hard work resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements—and that doesn’t even account for the Trial Center’s contributions to victories by other firms across the United States.

Taken as a whole, the Trial Center’s success, support, and research efforts continue to set DiCello Levitt apart as a truly unique and cutting-edge firm.

Steadfast Consumer Advocates

DiCello Levitt has a strong reputation as one of the foremost consumer advocacy firms in the country, having secured more than $20 billion in recoveries since our founding. The firm’s attorneys have successfully led—and are presently leading—many large class actions and other multidistrict litigations, including against industry titans such as Abbott Laboratories, Apple, BNY Mellon, Coca-Cola, Ford, Equifax, General Motors, Google, Honda, Intel, JP Morgan, L’Oréal, Marriott, and Meta, and they represent businesses and investors in litigation and arbitration in multiple courts across the United States and internationally. In addition to their extensive expertise in matters including product liability, financial services, environmental law, biotechnology, and cybersecurity, DiCello Levitt’s attorneys have decades of experience representing plaintiffs in cases involving defective products, unfair competition, insurance fraud, faulty pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and other instances of corporate misconduct.

Dispute Resolution

With a network of offices throughout the US commanding a nationwide (and international) practice, DiCello Levitt distinguishes itself as a plaintiff firm with a trial-centric agenda, and one that has taken on a variety of headline-grabbing matters focused on addressing injustices across a spectrum of industries with true “David versus Goliath” aplomb. “I wish more [plaintiff] firms were like DiCello,” quips one peer. “Just real substantial cases, no weak, frivolous junk, no obvious ‘snowball in hell’ overreach. You see a lot of these class actions brought by some plaintiffs – oh Lord! – and you roll your eyes and think to yourself, ‘I can’t stand any more of this, and neither can the profession.’ But the DiCello people, the ones I’ve seen, seem to have really put in the time to analyze these cases before bringing them, and have a decent level of courtroom chutzpah to back them and see them through. And [the firm] seem[s] to be growing!”
     One of the noted growth area is antitrust, which DiCello built on with the addition of Greg Asciolla, a New York-based partner formerly with Labaton [Keller] Sucharow. Asciolla filed the first case and served as co-Lead Counsel in a lawsuit alleging that several global financial institutions manipulated prices in the $8 trillion market for European government bonds (EGBs). The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants rigged EGB auctions and fixed bid-ask spreads that they quoted to customers. European regulators fined several of the same dealers over €370 million based on their investigation. Asciolla also serves as co-lead counsel on behalf of a proposed class of employees claiming their wages were negatively impacted by a conspiracy among several aerospace companies to restrict the hiring and recruiting of engineers and other skilled laborers working on aerospace projects. The complaint alleges that the defendants agreed not to solicit or hire each other’s aerospace workers in order to avoid competing on wages and benefits and to drive down their labor costs. Chicago’s Amy Keller, one of the youngest partners to regularly appear as one of Benchmark’s Top 250 Women in Litigation, is part of a team serving as co-lead counsel representing the estates and families of seven of the individuals killed, as well as six others who were injured, in the racially motivated mass shooting in a Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, New York, on May 14, 2022.  The landmark lawsuit, filed in July 2023 in the New York State Supreme Court, seeks to hold the dominant social media companies accountable for allegedly fomenting the hate-based narrative espoused by the shooter. Diandra “Fu” Debrosse, based in Birmingham, Alabama, was also part of team. Debrosse also works with Chicago’s Adam Levitt for the City of Baltimore regarding the catastrophic impact of the March 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, one of the largest maritime disasters in US history. Debrosse also works with Cleveland’s Mark DiCello on multidistrict litigation stemming from Chevron and Syngenta’s manufacture, sale, and promotion of paraquat, an herbicide that causes Parkinson’s disease. The DiCello Levitt team represents more than 700 people who are suffering from the debilitating disease or who have died as a result of paraquat exposure. “You’ve got to look closer at ‘Fu,’” a peer insists, explaining “The amount of novel cases she’s leading or co-leading these days is just ridiculous, and these are cases that, although they seem like they were just waiting to be brought, are not necessarily slam dunks!” DiCello is touted by a client for his “excellent legal and technical knowledge” and is describes as “extremely hard working and totally reliable; well read and knowledgeable outside of law; a pleasure to work with, and also very pleasant and totally respectful but still strong.
