Bio

Confident, articulate, and exceptionally cool under pressure, Ed Casmere has been described by colleagues and opponents alike as one of the most engaging and persuasive attorneys with whom they have ever worked. He is widely respected as a formidable litigator and trial lawyer but is also acknowledged as a generous and ethical collaborator who impresses clients, judges, jurors, and opposing counsel with his thoroughness, dedication, and preparation. Although he has an impressive history of securing positive trial outcomes for his clients, Ed’s first line of attack has always been to look for effective ways to circumvent litigation, either through compelling and persuasive legal arguments or the negotiation of mutually beneficial settlement agreements. Ed has successfully litigated cases for both defendants and plaintiffs. Ed has served as lead counsel in cases across the country. In his role as a high-level risk manager, strategic advisor, negotiator, and trial lawyer, Ed has successfully represented national and international businesses in the sports/entertainment, banking, food, automotive, children’s products, insurance, agricultural products, chemical, industrial products, aviation, technology, and glass industries. Ed has litigated a diverse array of cases including environmental claims, chemical exposures, securities fraud, employment discrimination, sexual harassment, railcar injuries, lease disputes, warranty claims, and catastrophic property damage/personal injury.
