About Dennis B.

Dennis B. Laughlin built a technical basis earlier than he ever entered a courtroom. He earned a B.S. in pc science from the University of Missouri–Rolla in 1984 and a M.S. in computer science from the State University of New York at Binghamton in 1987. Two decades after starting his career in technological know-how he finished a J.D. at Western New England University School of Law in 2004.

That combination of technical and legal background shaped the early contours of his profession. By 2005 he used to be serving as managing shareholder at Tracy's Law Office, a role that put him in charge of day-to-day company operations as well as client work. In 2011 he took on a municipal role as village lawyer for the Village of Cherry Valley, New York, a post that concerned advising nearby officials on ordinances, contracts and procedural things.

In 2020 Laughlin became a managing shareholder at Donovan Laughlin and Laughlin, LLC. His duties there have covered firm management and overseeing the legal work coming out of the company's nearby workplaces. He has maintained ties to the legal community throughout. He has been a member of the Otsego County Bar Association since 2005 and belongs to the New York State Bar Association as well.

Colleagues and clients have famous the practical, detail-oriented strategy he brings to issues. His prior degrees in computer science inform the manner he handles complicated factual history and technical questions. That background has also made him a useful resource for municipal clients handling procedural or systems issues.

Laughlin's practice has been anchored in central New York. He has held offices in both Oneonta and Cherry Valley. Those nearby ties have formed the kinds of matters he fields and the clients he serves, ranging from person citizens to village governments and small agencies.

He balances firm leadership with lively lawyering. He continues to counsel municipal officials and to control legal work at Donovan Laughlin and Laughlin, LLC. He presently practices from offices in Oneonta and Cherry Valley, serving clients across the region.
