FOWLER , MEASLE & BELL
for MCMILLEN CREATIVE

When Kentucky’s “most prolific trial law firm” expanded its practice beyond medical malpractice defense, McMillen Creative gave it a major brand makeover,repositioning the Louisville firm as “a nationally recognized civil defense firm dedicated to protecting and defending high-exposure clients against civil lawsuits in Kentucky and Indiana. “Leveraging OBT’s reputation in the courtroom, they introduced a new tagline, “Bench Tested,” and developed a full line of print and electronic marketing materials. Fortuni partnered with McMillen Creative to incorporate the firm’s branding message into its new print and electronic marketing materials.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

When complex medical procedures are challenged, successful legal defense requires bench-tested experience, knowledge of medical terminology, and the ability to clearly convey that knowledge to a non-medical jury.

O’Bryan, Brown & Toner has been a respected leader in medical malpractice defense since 1991. Our attorneys have a stellar reputation for defending high-exposure liability issues through the use of zealous advocacy and candid counseling. We speak the language of medicine, healthcare and insurance. In a firm where every partner and associate litigates, we are nationally recognized for excellence, innovation, and success in resolving high-exposure cases.

Our clients are attracted by our proven reputation in the courtroom on behalf of nationally known physicians, healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics. Our practice encompasses defense of claims in all federal and state courts throughout Kentucky and Indiana. We emphasize early analysis of claims that represent exposure for our clients and accurate determination of the extent of that exposure. Our approach frequently involves identifying qualified healthcare specialists who can analyze medical-legal dilemmas and provide expert testimony on our client’s behalf. We use our comprehensive knowledge of county, state, and federal court personnel to select the expert whose knowledge, credibility, and personal style best contribute to the achievement of our client’s objectives.

Our significant personal and professional community ties give us a thorough understanding of the cultural factors that influence jurors’ points of view. At trial, we make compelling presentations, translating highly technical medical terminology into plain language a jury can understand. Our reputation as highly skilled, aggressive litigators also proves useful during settlement negotiations. Adversaries understand that our attorneys will be formidable court opponents if an equitable settlement is not reached.

We marshal our medical acumen, bench-tested litigation skill, and invaluable knowledge of regional courts to defend our clients and achieve successful outcomes.

Fowler Measle & Bell retained McMillen Creative to elevate its identity beyond that of an established, local insurance defense firm. McMillen Creative developed a research-based marketing and branding plan. The plan repositioned Fowler as the Kentucky bankruptcy and litigation law firm sought by local and national clients for its ability to find practical solutions to complex legal issues. Fortuni partnered with McMillen Creative to write attorney bios and practice group descriptions reflecting the new branded market position.
