Dewsnup King Olsen Worel Havas – Salt Lake City, UT

Premier Complex Litigation and Injury Attorneys

Dewsnup King Olsen Worel Havas (DKOW) is one of the most respected and successful trial law firms in Salt Lake City, Utah. Located in the prestigious 36 State tower at City Creek, the firm has earned a national reputation for handling the most difficult and high-stakes cases in the Intermountain West. Unlike high-volume personal injury mills, DKOW focuses on complex litigation involving catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and intricate commercial disputes. Their attorneys include some of the most decorated trial lawyers in the state, holding leadership positions in organizations like the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and the American College of Trial Lawyers.

Areas of Unrivaled Expertise

The firm’s practice is built on handling cases that require significant resources and intellectual rigor. Their primary areas of focus include:

• Catastrophic Personal Injury: Representing victims of life-altering events such as gas explosions, mining disasters (including the historic Crandall Canyon Mine litigation), and industrial accidents.
• Medical Malpractice: The firm is widely regarded as a leader in holding healthcare providers accountable for surgical errors, birth injuries, and misdiagnoses.
• Product Liability: Taking on major manufacturers when defective products cause severe harm or death.
• Complex Commercial Litigation: Representing businesses and individuals in high-value contract disputes, insurance bad faith claims, and fraud litigation.

A Legacy of Record-Breaking Verdicts

DKOW has secured some of the largest verdicts and settlements in Utah history. Their team operates on a contingency fee basis for injury cases, ensuring that justice is accessible to those who have been wronged, regardless of their financial status. They prepare every case with the expectation that it will go to trial, a strategy that often forces defendants to offer maximum settlements. The firm’s culture is one of relentless advocacy combined with deep compassion for clients facing the darkest moments of their lives.

Heart of the City

Situated at 36 S State St, the firm’s offices occupy the 24th floor, offering commanding views of the Salt Lake Valley. This central downtown location places them steps away from the federal and state courthouses, facilitating their active litigation practice.
