I was born in Pittsburgh, PA and raised in Steubenville, Ohio by my mother, Luann, and father, Larry.  In 2007, I graduated from St. John Central high school in Bellaire, Ohio and in 2012 I earned a bachelor’s degree from Cleveland State University.  Before attending law school, I worked on the judicial campaign of a former litigation partner in one of Cleveland’s largest and most respected firms.. In 2014 I began my legal education at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.  Throughout law school I worked for a well-established personal injury and worker’s compensation firm and I conducted legal research for Cleveland-Marshall’s Environmental Law professor.  My research focused on shale development and Ohio’s rapidly developing oil and gas jurisprudence, particularly Ohio’s statutory mandatory pooling/unitization schemes and the conflict between Ohio’s oil and gas statute and its constitutional home rule provision.  I graduated from Cleveland-Marshall, was admitted to the Ohio state bar, and founded Boothe Law LLC in 2016.

I have been dedicated to serving the injured and disabled for 33 years, ever since I graduated from law school.  This area of law became my passion when, in 1982, many people were cut off from their benefits without notice or due process. Once I saw deserving people being harmed because they were not receiving their disability benefits, I was hooked. It has been my honor to represent many deserving people ever since.. Over the years I have served as the chair of the Social Security section of the Cuyahoga Bar Association, chair of the Social Security section of the Ohio Trial Layers Association, and President of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives. I testified before special Social Security sessions called by the Honorable George Voinovich and Stephanie Tubbs Jones. I have learned so much from these opportunities and have used this knowledge to help my clients. Hopefully, I have given back to the community at large as well.

She also enjoys practicing in the civil rights areas of housing and employment discrimination.  She previously argued before the 9th Appellate District of Ohio in a case which established a landlord’s duty to act to prevent discrimination between tenants, when notice of the discrimination is given. In addition, Emily has written briefs for both the U.S. Northern District of Ohio and the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals advocating for an expansion of employees rights under ERISA.
