Dee Arrington

Dee comes to Case Linden with extensive experience in federal and state courts. Most recently, she clerked for the Honorable Chief Judge Cynthia A. Norton in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri. Dee served as an intern to the Honorable Duane Benton at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and Magistrate Judge Willie J. Epps, Jr. at the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. She also interned for Missouri state court judges Joshua C. Devine and Kayla Jackson-Williams of the 13th Judicial Circuit Court. Dee’s work for these courts and judges makes her a strong litigator, attentive to how judges evaluate evidence, apply the law, and decide matters in both trial and appellate settings.

Her private practice experience prior to joining the firm includes substantive work on cases involving workplace disputes (including allegations of discrimination, wage theft and wrongful termination), contract disputes, construction litigation, and bodily injury cases.

Prior to law school, Dee spent over a decade as a corporate human resources and business consultant with a primary focus on disputes between employees and employers, compliance, investigations and training. This background provides her with a well-grounded, practical perspective in defending employment litigation and engaging in dispute resolution.

During her time at the University of Missouri School of Law, Dee earned first place in both the Board of Advocates Client Interview Competition and the Jim H. Levin Mediation Competition. She earned a Certificate in Dispute Resolution while completing her legal studies. Dee also earned a Certificate in Mass Tort Multi-District Litigation at the Bolch Judicial Institute of Duke Law School. Most recently, she completed the Ross T. Roberts Trial Academy program at the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association & Foundation.
