With a history spanning more than half a century, Dysart Taylor Lay Cotter & McMonigle, P.C, combines traditional value with innovative solutions to provide its clients the very best in progressive legal services. Dysart Taylor is a full service law firm which owes the strength of its positioning today to the values upon which the firm was founded during the Great Depression. Dysart Taylor was founded in 1934 by Lee Reeder and Carl Kretsinger as a small, general practice law office. During the firm’s first year, Mr. Reeder successfully handled a case for a truck driver. The case involved less than $100.00. Before Mr. Reeder accepted the case, at least three other lawyers turned it down. That small victory became the basis for the firm's regional and nationwide reputation as skilled lawyers in both transportation and products liability. More importantly, it symbolized Dysart Taylor’s enduring commitment to responsive, personalized legal service.

Since 1934, the firm has grown from two lawyers with one staff person, to twenty-two lawyers supported by twenty-three staff personnel. As the firm has grown, so has its range of legal services. Today, specialized experience in aviation product liability, business acquisitions and mergers, estate planning, government regulation, insurance, securities, taxation and transportation complements its general practice in business planning, litigation, and real estate.

Dysart Taylor’s primary mission is to be responsive to client needs on an immediate basis, and at affordable fees. The firm’s mission is based on the realization that quality in all phases of service is critical to the continuation of its clients’ success.

By expanding its legal services to meet the ever-changing needs of its clients, Dysart Taylor will continue to offer the finest possible legal expertise to help its clients resolve their problems, and achieve their personal and business goals.

The lawyers and support staff of Dysart Taylor remain committed to providing the best legal services available to both large and small clients on a reasonable and continuing basis.
