Community

DBL Law’s mission focuses on making our communities better places in which to live and work. While a percentage of our firm’s annual budget is dedicated to supporting local nonprofits, our impact is truly driven by civic-minded attorneys and staff who continuously devote personal time leading and participating in fundraising activities and service.

In 2018, we pledged $1 million — our largest commitment to date — to the St. Elizabeth Foundation in support of its planned St. Elizabeth Cancer Center. The 250,000-square-foot facility opened in late 2020.

Managing partner Bob Hoffer reflects on the importance of giving back to our communities as he was honored at the 2020 NKY Philanthropy Symposium presented by Horizon Community Funds.
