I spent the first seven years of my career working as a general practitioner in Northeast Ohio where I’ve been a lifelong resident.  This experience allowed me to realize my passion for assisting individuals in avoiding the unnecessary complications of estate planning and when necessary making the process of probate as straightforward as possible.  This ultimately led me to team up with The Darren Findling Law Firm, PLC to open its Ohio branch.  As an attorney at The Darren Findling Law Firm, PLC in Ohio, I am here to assist you with your needs in estate planning, probate administration and other legal matters that may arise in the probate courts of Ohio.  I bring effective communication and imaginative strategies to your legal needs to achieve the best results for you.

I represent clients in a variety of matters and am dedicated to each client right from the initial consultation.

I have lived the immigration process and not many lawyers can say that. My first exposure to the complexities of US immigration law occurred when I was empoyed by the United Nations High Commission of Refugees in a refugee camp in Thailand. In the mid 90's the immigration laws changed drastically, penalyzing families in the camp who had already been approved to live in the US for engaging in certain, how can i say, illicit behaviors.  Admissions were enough to disqualify families from being allowed to enter the US. This struck me as unfair and very unAmerican. It was during this period of time that i wanted to help those who were stuck in the immigration web.. My further contact with immigration law occurred some years later, again before i was an attorney when i petitioned for my wife for her residency in the United States.

I have devoted my law practice to representing individuals in all manner of workplace disputes, from litigating discrimination and retaliation cases, to filing agency charges, to negotiating severance arrangements.  I am also one of few lawyers in Northeast Ohio with experience and expertise in unemployment compensation law.. In addition to my law practice, I also do independent workplace investigations and I have a workplace coaching practice, where I work with individuals who have performance or behavioral issues in the workplace, assisting them to contribute more effectively in all aspects of their work, focusing primarily on communication skills and social + emotional intelligence.  I participated in the Coach Training Program at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland.. This blend of lawyering and coaching gives me a unique perspective on workplace issues and disputes, and allows me to work with clients in a way that is relational, empathetic, and client-centered.
