Goldberg Segalla adds experienced trial attorney

SYRACUSE — Goldberg Segalla announced it has added Dennis T. Scanlon to the firm’s commercial litigation and arbitration group in Syracuse. An experienced trial attorney, Scanlon handles a range of commercial litigation and business disputes of all sizes for businesses, senior executives, investors, financial institutions, and nonprofit organizations, the law firm said. He draws on strong litigation and leadership experience developed while serving in various capacities as a captain with the United States Marine Corps. As a judge advocate, Scanlon worked in the Pentagon, analyzing legal issues arising in military officer misconduct cases. Later, as trial counsel and certified special victims’ prosecutor, he tried dozens of courts-martial — many of which were fully-contested trials — to verdict. As a victims’ legal counsel, he represented special-victim clients while protecting their rights at all investigative stages and court proceedings. After leaving active duty, Scanlon began serving as a reservist in the Appellate Defense Division, representing Navy and Marine Corps appellants before military courts of appeal. Scanlon earned his bachelor’s degree from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) and his law degree from the Syracuse University College of Law. Buffalo–based Goldberg Segalla is a national civil-litigation law firm with 22 offices in 10 states spanning major metro markets across the U.S. and employing more than 450 lawyers. The firm’s Syracuse–area office is located on Widewaters Parkway in DeWitt, according to its website. It’s one of seven Goldberg Segalla offices in New York state.
