I practice in all areas of Ohio, with my primary base in Northwest Ohio. I am licensed to practice in any court in Ohio, and am admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee). I have clients from all across the country who have come to me in time of need. I concentrate my practice in the fields of civil rights cases arising from police misconduct, criminal law, juvenile law (delinquency), and appeals of all matters.
I strive to keep my client base small, so that I can give each client my utmost attention. I take great pride in what I do, and provide the type of legal representation that I would want for myself if I ever had the need.
My greatest asset is my ability to think "outside the box." And I never hesitate to enlist the help of other lawyers and experts when needed. I have assembled many great teams, drawing upon America's leading experts in the areas of forensics, excessive-use-of-force, psychology, accounting, and other areas of expertise.
I am often referred cases from other lawyers when they learn of the complexity of a given matter well after they have undertaken representation of the client. I relish a challenge, and through innovation and hard work, can often take a case that looks like a "sure loser" and deliver outstanding results.
