ABOUT
C. Vernon Hartline, Jr. is one of the founding partners of Hartline, Dacus,

and litigation achievements. Over the past several years, he has served

Torts” published by Aspen Publishers.
Vernon has a wide range of trial expertise, including product liability
litigation, toxic torts, massive plant explosions, construction litigation,
patent defense, state and federal appeals, and general civil trial work.
Of particular note are his many successes in the automotive and tire industry,
