Loewinsohn Flegle Deary L.L.P.

Dallas Business Journal Features Loewinsohn Flegle Deary

While many law firms across Texas are re-evaluating expenses in light of tort reform and other market dynamics, Dallas-based boutique firm Loewinsohn & Flegle LLP is bucking the trend by bringing in a partner, adding employees and ramping up on office space.

The firm will add David Deary as partner and change its name to Loewinsohn Flegle Deary LLP in April, said founding partner Alan Loewinsohn. It also will hire four attorneys and four staffers before the end of the year. The firm leased an additional 5,000 square feet of office space to accommodate the growth, Loewinsohn said.

The firm specializes in complex commercial litigation and arbitration, torts, wrongful deaths and sports-related litigation. It has 23 employees, including seven attorneys.

Deary, former partner with firm Deary Montgomery DeFeo & Canada LLP, said the move made sense. “After much success, the partners at my firm decided to pursue different careers and I decided to join Loewinsohn & Flegle because of the regard that the legal community has for them as well as the opportunity to merge my practice with a firm that has a blue-chip client list,” Deary said.

Deary was the lead lawyer for recipients of questionable tax shelter advice from Dallas law firm Jenkins & Gilchrist PC. That case resulted in an $81.6 million settlement for the class Deary represented. In the last four years, the attorney says he has settled claims in multiple cases, in excess of $350 million. His experience in that area appealed to Loewinsohn & Flegle.

“David’s experience in representing large groups of plaintiffs in business cases improves our existing ability to attract, staff and deal with such cases,” Loewinsohn said. “With our combined experiences in that niche, we’re able to offer clients that are opposing class actions or large groups of plaintiffs a much stronger defense.”
