Ogborn Mihm

What Ogborn Mihm does

Ogborn Mihm, LLP is a Denver-headquartered, plaintiff-side litigation boutique that represents individuals, families, family-owned businesses, and Fortune 100 companies in high-stakes disputes likely to proceed to trial. The firm fields approximately 11 partners, 5 associates, and 5 of counsel across four offices (Denver, Los Angeles, Sioux Falls, and Jackson), with attorneys licensed in ten states and co-counsel relationships enabling coast-to-coast caseload. Practice areas span 14 service lines, including personal injury and wrongful death, medical malpractice, brain injury, legal malpractice, business torts and fraud, commercial and contract litigation, partnership and LLC disputes, construction, employment, insurance bad faith, bankruptcy, appellate, trust and estate litigation, and whistleblower/qui tam matters.

The firm monetizes through four fee structures: hourly billing against retainers (~half of clients), contingency fees as a percentage of recovery, hybrid (reduced hourly plus contingency), and flat/fixed fees. The mix allows the firm to absorb clients who cannot fund hourly defense while preserving upside on large verdicts and settlements (disclosed landmark results include the $100M Repsher v. Airbus settlement, a $12.5M Nucor Steel jury verdict, and multi-million-dollar legal malpractice verdicts among the largest plaintiff recoveries in the United States). The firm's competitive position is built on a multi-generational trial bench anchored by four past presidents of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, ABOTA membership, Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers recognition, U.S. News Best Law Firms ranking, and an AV Peer Review Rating, supplemented by in-house jury research and focus group methodology (Mojo Consulting). Go-to-market is reputation-driven via referrals, bar association leadership, Primerus international network co-counsel, and content marketing on omtrial.com, with no external institutional capital, funding rounds, or PE/VC sponsorship.

Revenue model

1. Legal Services - Hourly Fee: Traditional hourly billing where attorneys charge by the hour for legal services. Requires a retainer, with monthly fees invoiced against retainer funds or paid directly by the client. Approximately half of clients use this arrangement.
2. Contingency Fee: Client pays attorney fee only if the firm recovers a settlement or judgment. Fee is usually a percentage of recovery. If the case is lost, client typically pays only litigation costs like copying or expert fees.
3. Hybrid Fee: Firm accepts a reduced hourly rate combined with a percentage of any recovery if successful. Part of payment is contingent on success, part is guaranteed.
4. Fixed/Flat Fee: Fixed fee agreements charge a set amount regardless of time required. Flat fee arrangements charge a monthly amount regardless of hours worked during that month. Client usually pays litigation costs in addition.
