Business, Personal Injury And Civil Litigation

Ohio Business Litigation, Contract And Personal Injury Litigation Lawyer

When your business or your personal rights are at stake, it is important to have an experienced, proactive attorney on your side. I represent and litigate for individuals, small businesses and large companies in Ohio. 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 often superior to a resolution imposed upon the parties by a judge or jury. However, a negotiated settlement is not always possible. Call a vigorous and experienced Cleveland litigation attorney at The Bernard Law Firm today to discuss your legal needs.
