About Damien C.
Damien C. Kitte built an academic foundation that blends technical training with historical study. He earned a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in History from The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law. He stayed at Ohio State for his legal education and completed a J.D. at the Michael E. Moritz College of Law.
After law school he became licensed to practice in Ohio. He is admitted to the Supreme Court of Ohio. His career has taken him into courtrooms and conference rooms across the state, advising clients and handling procedural matters in state courts.
Kitte’s background in computer science gives him a different way of looking at certain legal problems. Technical training makes parsing electronic evidence and understanding software behavior easier. His historical studies sharpen research, context and writing. Those two strands inform how he evaluates cases and prepares written materials.
During law school he trained in the routines of legal practice: research, brief writing and oral advocacy. The J.D. program at Moritz aimed at producing lawyers who can draft clearly and argue succinctly. Kitte carried those habits into practice, where careful briefing and a command of detail matter as much as persuasive storytelling.
Colleagues describe him as attentive to technical detail and methodical in preparation. He approaches discovery and document review in a structured way. When technical questions arise, he relies on his undergraduate training to ask informed follow-up questions of experts and to test assumptions in reports.
Outside the courthouse he has worked on transactional matters that require an understanding of contracts and operational systems. He has also handled procedural litigation matters that require familiarity with evidentiary and procedural rules. He keeps up with developments in state law that affect daily practice.
Kitte practices law in Ohio and maintains his admission to the Supreme Court of Ohio. He currently concentrates on legal matters that intersect technology, data and routine state-court practice in Ohio.
