About Max Dehon
Max Dehon represents catastrophically injured individuals and their families. He has assisted in the recovery of tens of millions of dollars for clients, beginning as a law clerk at the firm. Max represents victims of mass disasters, construction and workplace accidents, propane and natural gas explosions, electrical accidents, and accidents resulting from defective or malfunctioning products. Within his first month of returning to Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky full-time after graduating law school, Max was a part of the trial teams that secured a $5 million verdict for a worker who was injured in a construction accident and a $10.6 million product liability verdict against a global manufacturer on behalf of a quarry worker injured by a stone crushing machine. Max’s path to becoming a trial attorney started early.
Growing up in Kansas City, both of Max’s parents are attorneys. He had many opportunities to go to work with his parents and is no stranger to the courtroom. Because of these early experiences, Max chose to attend Temple University Beasley School of Law in order to participate in Temple’s storied trial advocacy program, where he was a James E. Beasley Scholar and Rom Dombrowski Sports Law Scholar. While there, he obtained a certificate in and received numerous accolades in trial advocacy and served as the teaching assistant for the trial advocacy class.
