ATTORNEY PROFILE
 
  
Theodore (Ted) D. Ogilvie                                         togilvie@OgilvieLawOffice.com     
 
Mr. Ogilvie practices in the areas of general civil litigation, contracts, dispute resolution, family law, health law, and employment law, .  His preferred method of conflict resolution is by mediation, collaborative, and other alternative dispute resolution methods.  He is involved with local collaborative professionals and looks forward to the increased use of the collaborative process to resolve sensitive issues.  But he also understands that some issues are just not able to be settled without litigation, some issues must be presented to a court or other tribunal.  His main focus is to advise his clients with sound legal advice, counsel clients to understand possible outcomes of the different paths available to them, and vigorously represent clients in their legal battles. 
 
Mr. Ogilvie enjoyed an extensive and successful career as a healthcare executive and consultant prior to opening the OGILVIE LAW OFFICE  in 2001.  He continues to be involved in the healthcare industry by representing and advising various providers (i.e., physicians, pharmacists, nursing homes, and other providers) on various business and professional issues. 
 
In 1991 he married his long-time sweetheart, DeAnn (a pharmacist and long-term care executive).  They have one daughter and one son.  He and his family attend Crossroads Bible Church and host a weekly Bible study at their home.  His hobbies include fly-fishing, playing and listening to jazz, playing piano and trumpet, golfing, and spending time with his wonderful family.  He has a large sense of humor and an equally large desire to build fruitful relationships.
