I've been called a detail ninja, a trait that makes me fearless in the courtroom and always ready to deliver thoughtful solutions. I've provided decades of thorough representation in the fields of family law, litigation and attorney professional ethics matters. In family law, my experience includes representing clients in dissolution, divorce, custody and other family law proceedings. I also serve as counsel in attorney-related professional ethics matters. My relentless preparation gives me command of the facts of a case–all while maintaining a big picture perspective on the surrounding circumstances. I know my way around IT, have a strong business background (with an undergraduate degree in risk management and insurance), and am in my element in any courtroom. I am the Chair of my firm's Family Law Practice Group and served as the Chair of the Columbus Bar Association's Professional Ethics Committee from July 2019 through June 2021.. Here's a link to my profile on my firm's website:. **As to my client reviews, the results I obtained for former clients do not guarantee similar outcomes for current or future clients. The facts and legal circumstances of every case are different and result in varying outcomes.. NOTE: I DO NOT REVIEW or RESPOND TO EMAILS SENT THROUGH AVVO, etc.

I'm originally from Buffalo, New York and have remained a loyal Buffalo Bills and Sabres fan.  My wife and I have two grown daughter's who became teacher's like their mom (now retired) and two young grandchildren.

I routinely defend professionals in their dealings with: 1) employers; 2) credentialing organizations; and 3) Ohio's Professional Regulatory Boards, including the Ohio Board of Nursing (OBN), Ohio State Dental Board (OSDB), State Medical Board of Ohio (SMBO), Ohio State Board of Pharmacy (OSBP), State Board of Psychology of Ohio (SBPO), Ohio State Chiropractic Board (OSCB), Ohio Counselor, Social Worker & Marriage and Family Therapist Board (OCSWMFT), Ohio Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainers Board (OTPTAT) and others.

I passionately advocate for the rights of individuals with employment and discrimination cases. I am devoted to securing justice for clients by offering individualized and sophisticated legal counsel.. When I am not vigorously representing my clients, I spend my time with my wife and our basset hound, going to Lake Erie, volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters, and spending time outdoors.

I litigate civil rights cases because I believe in them.  I believe in the right to free speech, the right of citizens' to be secure in their own homes, and the right to be free from false prosecutions and excessive force at the hands of the police.  This is why I went to law school, and why I have spent the last 13 years fighting for my clients as hard as I possible can. If we do not protect our rights, no one will protect them for us.

I know that it is standard practice in law to have scales or a gavel or some other symbol that says “attorney”.  But I wanted to choose a symbol that didn’t just stand for the practice of law, but that represented my purpose for practicing law.. The Owl represents Athena- who is the Greek goddess of wisdom, prudent warfare and guardian of people. For centuries, Athena has symbolized an astute companion and protector of those who are embarking on dangerous journeys or facing struggles.. I practice law with the goal in mind to help people when they need it the most-when they are facing legal issues.  They don’t call them “legal battles” because they are easy.. From the time we first meet until the case is resolved I will be your advocate, your companion in your journey, and will work diligently to protect your rights.  You are not alone.  I will be with you every step of the way.

I have represented clients in matters ranging from OVI/DUI and simple contract disputes to complex business litigation and first degree murder. In recognition of these accomplishments, Ohio Super Lawyers® honored me as a “Rising Star” for 2012, 2013, and 2014.. I am a native of Bexley, Ohio. In my free time, I volunteer at the Columbus Legal Aid Society’s Brief Legal Advice Clinics and Adult Shelter Assistance Project and am an officer of the Board of Trustees of NNEMAP, one of the largest food pantries in the Central Ohio Area.  I also participates in Pelotonia, am an assistant class agent for Carleton College, and provides pro bono counsel to Hogar Irekua, an orphanage in Morelia, Mexico.

I have over 25 years of legal experience in the areas of family relations law, business law, estate planning and insolvency advice. I am a certified specialist in family relations law. I take a personal interest in my client's cases and I am willing to be as aggressive as necessary to meet the needs of my client.I recognize that every case is different. I listen to my clients, find out their objectives and develop a strategy to meet those objectives. I give each legal case the personal attention it requires and recommend different strategies depending on the needs of the client. I provide competent and diligent representation.I provide aggressive yet caring representation. I will strive to aggressively protect my client's rights but I will never lose sight of the emotional and financial impact of litigation.

I have had the priviledge of trying cases from Virginia to California, and many places in between.  Representing the medical and nursing profession in today’s world requires a fast, responsive approach. Over the past 20+ years of my practice, my healthcare clients have become diversified across the State of Ohio and across the country.. In years past, clients used to only hire firms in the town where the matter was pending. This is no longer the case. With current technologies, we are connected to our complete resources 24/7 – no matter the jurisdiction. To truly concentrate on one field of practice requires we will be where you are, when you need us. Our philosophy is to put your interests first, provide an aggressive defense and examine those details that will differentiate our work from any other firm.. I have represented medical, nursing and healthcare cases for both large and small providers. Just as the plaintiff’s bar is becoming more organized and more focused, we are responding to this challenge. This has resulted in many successful outcomes.. I defend cases involving all areas of medicine including birth trauma, neonatology, nephrology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, general surgery, pediatric surgery, vascular surgery, pulmonology, internal medicine, family medicine, anesthesia, radiology, otolaryngology, pathology, physical therapy and many different issues involving nursing care.. The defense of such a diverse array of medical and nursing issues requires intensive coordination with the best experts in the field of your specialty to facilitate jury comprehension and understanding. This results in a high level of success on the most catastrophic cases.

I have been an attorney since 2002 and recieved my juris doctor from the University of Toledo.  I have been practicing in the Central Ohio area since 2008.  Prior to this, I enjoyed practicing in several counties within the Northwest Ohio area.  I am currently married with two young boys.  I feel I am very passionate about my focused areas of practice.  I am devoted to my clients and feel that I work diligently to further all of their best intersts in law and equity

I have a national litigation practice, handling ERISA and business/commercial litigation, and related DOL/IRS investigations.  I routinely work with large and small companies as well as senior executives to resolve their business, executive compensation and ERISA disputes.

I consider myself very lucky.  Some of my early experiences are unique in my generation.  I started my education in a true one room school house in a rural area of upstate New York.  K through 8th grade in a single room with a coal stove as the only heat.  I was only there for two years, but I always felt protected by the older kids.. In 1956 my paternal grandfather died, and we moved back to the farm where my Dad was raised, a small town called Nassau, also upstate and not to be confused with the county on Long Island.  His Great Uncle was still operating the farm as his parents had.  A handful of cows, milked by hand.  Two draft horses to pull the various ancient pieces of equipment.  Loose hay, pitched onto the wagon by hand.  I can't say that I loved it, but you never fully recover from sheer hard work!!  And you don't suffer from it either.. I can contrast these truly bucolic pictures with working my way through law school in Columbus as a clerk in a Hospital Emergency Room.  The contrast between pitching hay on a warm summer day and dealing with the consistently stressed out people who populate an urban ER could not be greater.. For a number of years while practicing law I also had the privilege of being a supernumerary in the local opera company productions.  My high point was portraying a high church official, in the spotlight, with one of the stars, the evil Baron Scarpia, kneeling at my feet.  These non-singing, silent roles RARELY involve more than filling up the stage.  A brief moment in the spotlight for a fellow who can't sing a note was an outstanding memorable moment.. It has been a lot of fun, and always interesting.  I've been lucky.

I believe that if you are involved in a situation where you feel that you may need an attorney, you should not hesitate to contact one.  Many lawyers will take the time to talk with you about your problem(s), advise you about your rights, help prepare a plan and then advise you about whether or not you actually need to hire an attorney.  Many times, you will not need to go any further beyond this initial consultation.  But if you do, it is best to have your attorney involved from the beginning so that the right strategy is in place to protect you and to help ensure that your claim is resolved timely.  Do not hesitate to call an attorney for an initial consultation.. I truly enjoy helping individuals and companies with a variety of different cases as it keeps my practice ineteresting and well informed on the law.  I am always grateful when I can be involved early in the case so that a specialized strategy can be put into place for a client in hopes that we can resolve the claim early and if not, we can have our claim ready for suit and then focus the pressure on the other side.  I believe that a well prepared claim is much like a game of chess with a touch of contact sport, such as rugby.  You need to know how to be subtle and how to plan well into the future, but you also need to know when to be aggressive.  There is no other aspect of the law quite like litigation.

I began my career defending claims involving medical malpractice, product liability and employer intentional tort.  For the past 15 years I've represented individuals who have suffered permanent and profound personal injury due to the negoigence of others.  I take pride in developing relationships with my clients throughout the life of their claims so I can provide them the individual counsel necessary to properly develop each unique case.  I pride myself on being available to each of my clients to promptly address their needs and concerns whenever they arise. I encourage you to visit my firm's website at

My goal is to help other people understand what their problems are, and how I can help them deal with their problems.
