Dennis VanDerGinst is the managing partner of VanDerGinst Law, P.C.  He is also the CEO of MegaHunter, Inc., a website development company specializing in websites and internet marketing for lawyers.

Dennis is widely considered to be one of the finest attorneys in the country. He has been featured on the National Public Radio program America’s Premier Lawyers and has been profiled in Fortune magazine. Law Dragon Publications has selected Dennis as one of the Top 3000 lawyers in the country, a distinction bestowed upon less than one half of one percent of attorneys in the United States. He has been selected by his peers as a "Leading Lawyer" in the area of personal injury law. Only the top 5% of attorneys in the country earn that honor. He has also been selected as one of the top 5% of attorneys in the country by the "Best Attorneys Network", which considers not only the votes of other attorneys, but importantly, the input of clients as well. Chicago Lawyer magazine has recognized Dennis as one of the “Top Injury Lawyers In Illinois.”

He has earned induction into Who's Who in American Law for the past eleven years, and is a Life Member of the National Registry Of Who's Who in recognition of his efforts and achievements in the areas of law and business.

He is the Illinois State Delegate for the American Association for Justice. In addition, he serves on the Board of Trustees for the Pound Civil Justice Institute.

Equally impressive are Dennis’s credentials and knowledge in the area of law firm marketing.  His law firm was one of the first in the country to develop a website and do extensive marketing online, having developed their first website in 1990.  In 1999 he began the company now known as MegaHunter, Inc. which is the only website development company to have ever been endorsed by the American Association for Justice.  He has served on that association’s Lawyer Marketing Committee since its establishment several years ago. 

He has worked with some of the most established attorney advertising agencies in the country including Network Affiliates, CJ Advertising and Practice Made Perfect.  He has been a regular member and presenter at a number of national seminars and consortiums focusing on attorney marketing and law firm management including M&L Marketing and Management Seminars, the Masters Marketing Group and the Trial Lawyer’s Marketing Roundtable. Most recently Dennis has become an equal shareholder in the advertising agency, TAG Legal Marketing.
