Von DuBose is a trial lawyer built for the moments that matter most. A seasoned advocate in bet-the-company and reputationally defining disputes, Von has earned a national reputation for delivering results in the highest-pressure environments—whether in front of a jury, an arbitrator, or the glare of the national media.
Most recently, Von served as lead trial counsel for Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss in their landmark defamation suit against Rudolph Giuliani. After presenting the evidence and exposing the full scope of Giuliani’s misconduct at trial, Von and his team secured a historic $148 million jury verdict, one of the largest defamation verdicts in U.S. history. The win cemented Von’s standing as a go-to trial lawyer for complex, high-stakes cases with enormous public and commercial consequences.
Von brings that same level of strategic clarity and trial-first discipline to every matter he handles. He has guided clients through billion-dollar business tort cases, high-profile class actions, contentious partnership disputes, and employment matters involving executives and public figures. His approach is direct: understand the client’s business, prepare relentlessly for trial, and position the case for the best possible outcome—whether that means a decisive verdict or a leverage-driven resolution.
His results speak for themselves. Von has tried and won cases restoring ownership stakes in major commercial ventures, defended prominent entertainers against multimillion-dollar claims, extracted key admissions in contentious arbitrations that turned entire cases, and delivered victories for clients ranging from national nonprofits to Fortune 100 companies.
When the stakes are at their highest—and when clients need a lawyer who can both simplify complexity and win—businesses, public figures, and organizations turn to Von DuBose.
