Jillian L. Dinehart

Jillian defends corporate and individual insureds in product liability, construction, and other premises liability and personal injury claims.  She also works extensively in the Professional Liability Department defending municipalities and their employees in high-risk contract and tort matters, including wrongful death actions, labor and employment issues, and allegations of civil rights violations.  She has practiced in both the state and federal system and has argued before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Jillian grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York and graduated from SUNY Albany with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and concentrations in Spanish and Arabic Language studies. She went on to receive her juris doctor from Case Western Reserve University School of Law, where she began her litigation career as an award-winning student in the Criminal Defense Clinic.  Before joining Marshall Dennehey in 2017, Jillian had a varied civil practice working as a judicial staff attorney as well as an assistant director of law.  She continues to use those public-sector skills in advocating for her political subdivision clients.

Outside of the office you are likely to find Jillian anywhere music can be found or walking her dogs through the Cleveland MetroParks.
