Dagger,
Johnston, Miller, Ogilvie & Hampson is a law firm built on
nearly 100 years of collective legal experience. The firm is the
result of a merger of Deffenbaugh & Miller, founded in 1902
by J.W. Deffenbaugh, and Dagger, Johnston, Ogilvie, Charles
& Hampson, founded by William C. Dagger, in 1946.
The
majority of our attorneys have strong roots in the Lancaster
area. After receiving their Juris Doctorates from prestigious
law schools, they decided to return to the area to help the
Lancaster community grow economically as well as culturally.
Many
of our attorneys are active within the community, serving on
various boards of non-profit organizations. They share a common
belief that citizen involvement plays a key role in continued
growth of their community.
Since
the firm's founding, Dagger, Johnston, Miller, Ogilvie &
Hampson has adapted to the changing needs of its clients while
making a gradual shift from a local firm to a regionally
recognized law practice.
With
clients ranging from local residents to national corporations,
we are experienced in most areas of the law, including:
Acquisitions, Adoption, Banking, Bankruptcy, Business, Civil
Litigation, Commercial, Contract Disputes, Criminal Defense,
Divestitures, Eminent Domain, Employment, Estate Planning,
Family Law, Insurance Claims, Juvenile Defense, Labor
Negotiations, Medical Malpractice, Oil and Gas, Personal Injury,
Probate, Product Liability, Real Estate, Retirement Plans, Tax,
Traffic Defense, Wills and Trusts, Workers Compensation and
Wrongful Death.
Additionally,
one of the firm's attorneys is a Certified Public Accountant
(INACTIVE) with a background in retirement plans, tax and
corporate planning, and tax litigation.
