Business & Civil Litigation
Ohio Business Litigation and Contract Litigation LawyerI represent and litigate for individuals, small businesses and large companies. I am known for my aggressive and proactive style as well as my knowledge, experience and training in litigation. I have represented individuals and businesses in a wide array of disputes. I believe that, in most instances, a lawsuit should be commenced only after the parties have attempted to resolve their differences among themselves. A negotiated settlement is usually superior to a resolution imposed upon the parties by a judge or jury. However, a negotiated settlement is not always possible.

Business LitigationAt my law firm, I assist individuals and companies involved in business and commercial litigation.

As a business litigation lawyer, I aggressively pursue and defend their interests in matters related to:
Consumer Protection LitigationI pursue and defend a full range of consumer complaints against banks, real estate brokers, motor vehicle dealers and other businesses. In addition, consumer protection laws include warranty claims, fair debt collection, credit discrimination, automobile fraud, unfair and deceptive acts and practices, fair credit reporting, lemon laws and truth in lending laws. I have represented consumers in a wide variety of consumer protection actions against companies, banks, insurance companies and automobile manufacturers and dealers. Personal Injury and Wrongful DeathI represent plaintiffs in all types of personal injury and wrongful death litigation, including automobile, truck and train accidents; products liability; nursing home abuse and neglect; slip, trip and fall injuries; sports injuries. I have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars representing numerous injured clients and tried matters involving personal injury and wrongful death. For example, I obtained a verdict in a federal court trial on behalf of a victim’s estate in a wrongful death action and have litigated claims involving serious injuries, including brain trauma, closed head injuries, loss of eyesight, collapsed lung and broken bones.
