Connecticut, Greenwich, Drubner & Hartley , L.l.c.

Drubner, Hartley & O’Connor, with a recognized expertise in class actions and complex litigation, has served as lead counsel or co-counsel on some of the most important lawsuits of the past decade, including major class actions in New York, California and Florida. The firm's partners, Norman S. Drubner, James E. Hartley, Gary B. O'Connor, and Charles Hellman combine experience in advocating interests of consumers and investors with a willingness to take on the nation’s corporate giants, and a strong, winning record of landmark decisions and settlements. With a focus on class action and securities law, Drubner, Hartley & O’Connor has challenged some of the largest health care and financial institutions in the country. A key factor in the firm’s choice of cases: will the results have a direct impact on or make a difference in the lives of consumers and/or investors. In the case of Colonial Realty Company, where executives embezzled millions and defrauded thousands, the firm’s partners knew many of the investors personally. In their decade-long quest for financial reparations, Drubner, Hartley & O’Connor partnered with prominent law firms in Illinois, Virginia and New York and honed their legal skills. The result – a settlement valued at more than $120 million that helped mitigate the real financial losses of defrauded investors. With this proven expertise, the firm has participated in cases against Prudential Insurance Company, Putnam funds, AllianceBernstein funds, Strong funds, Janus funds, Aetna Healthcare and Cigna. The firm’s goal in every lawsuit is to reach decisions and/or settlements that make real and positive change in a company’s business practices. In the cases against financial organizations, the results should protect investors from unfair and deceptive practices. In the cases involving managed health care companies, the goal has been to transform company policies to allow doctors, not managed care bureaucrats, to make health care decisions for patients.
