I have been in the practice of law for almost two decades and have clients all over the United States. I have years of jury trial experience against all kinds of opposing parties from multi-billion dollar corporations to the local county prosecutor's office. I have never lost a lawsuit to a big three auto manufacturer for example, and have won tort cases against corporate giants like Kellog Brown and Root (KBR). I have appeared before the US Senate to discuss cases of national public concern as well as the Ohio Supreme Court, and have even been asked by the Florida legislature for my advice on gun control legislation. There is no such thing as a typical day in my law practice. I hold a doctorate degree (J.D.) in law from the University of Akron and a degree in forensic criminology from Indiana University. My biggest law practice area is labor and employment rights law, toxic torts (poisoning, radiation, nuclear materials, biohazzards, and chemcial burns litigation) and major felony defense. Before becomming a lawyer I was a captain in the US Marine Corps infantry and am a trained criminolgist. I love trial work and am considered very agressive by my opposing counsel and have a reputation for being relentless in the pursuit of truth and justice. Call me if I can help you at 330-220-7660 or send me an e-mail. If you are a military veteran who is having legal difficulties I can give you some insight many of my peers cannot. I represent all kinds of clients from business managers to union workers. When I am not litigating, I am skiing during the winter or flying an airplane during the summer. I have also recently taken up fly fishing which I find is a real hoot. Thanks for reading my web page.
