Kym’s trials have dealt with claims for wrongful death, personal injury, premises liability, products liability, insurance bad faith, and claims for punitive damages. He has handled numerous complex litigation cases and difficult catastrophic injury cases with high sympathy factors. Kym has been asked by clients and carriers to take over the defense of an existing case and try the case at the last minute – all with successful results. Kym’s approach to a trial, once the decision has been made to try the case, is simply to aggressively try the case before the jury – no further negotiations, and no settling on the courthouse steps. He’s willing to “parachute in” a case at a moment’s notice or monitor a case at the request of a client or insurance carrier. Kym began his legal career in Southern California working for a large litigation firm whose clients included major Hollywood studios, movie, and television production companies. Two years later, Kym moved to Las Vegas, joined a local insurance defense firm and soon was trying personal injury cases for State Farm and premises liability cases for Kemper Ins. Co. It was during these early trials that Kym honed his trial skills. In 2005, Kym’s Las Vegas firm merged with a large multinational law firm. Kym was instrumental in opening the firm’s new Las Vegas office. Three years later, Kym became an equity partner. Kym developed and successfully managed a multimillion-dollar book of business, the largest in the office and employed one-third of its attorneys and staff. After leaving the national firm Kym decided to join Dobberstein Law Group to provide more personal service from a small boutique law firm, while also providing more time to spend with his family. Kym has argued cases before the Nevada Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
