Dianna Anelli

Firm: The Anelli Law Firm, LLC
3010 Hayden Rd , Columbus , Ohio 43235
Practice Areas: Ethics & Professional Responsibility
Having litigated cases for 23 years, I know how anxious my clients get. The case seems to take forever and their lives are on hold. At least that is what they tell me. I just knew there had to be a better way to resolve differences. When I found Collaborative Law, I knew that was it. Not only does this process address the legal disagreement, it strives to help clients make peace with the situation. Without acceptance, the situation just returns in the client's life. That does not do anyone any good. It just promotes a revolving door of litigation. The better solution is to resolve the matter so that the client can move on with his or her life. Helping my client actually resolve a problem is who I am.

Scott Stewart

Firm: Stewart & DeChant LLC
1940 East Sixth Suite 900 , Cleveland , Ohio 44114
Practice Areas: Legal Malpractice, Products Liability, Workers Compensation, Wrongful Death, Ethics & Professional Responsibility
My most important job when I am entrusted to represent a devastatingly injured victim is to insure they receive the best possible representation I can provide. After 31 years I am still learning. The difference in a difficult case between losing or receiving what is just compensation is hiring a skilled lawyer who has the time and ability to do the job correctly. If you think my qualifications and experience reflect that I can do the job well for you I would be honored to be given the chance.. _________________________________________________________________. _________________________________________________________________. Scott E. Stewart heads the firm's legal malpractice and products liability section. He also specializes in insurance law bad faith claims, personal injury including vehicle and truck accidents, maritime law, intentional tort, social security disability, drug recall litigation and other areas of personal injury practice. (See the information link to the right for more information on all these specialties.). Scott graduated from Bethany College in 1973 and from the Case Western Reserve School of Law with his Juris Doctorate in 1976. He was admitted to the Ohio Bar the same year. He is admitted to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio and other Federal Courts.. Scott was honored by gaining membership as a Civil Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy in May of 1993. He was recertified in 1998, 2003 and 2008. He is one of 153 in Ohio. It is the only group that can certify a civil trial advocate. He is an Ohio Super Lawyer for at least the last four years, received for the top 5% in the State as voted by his peers and a Best Lawyer in America for the last 10 years also reserved for the top 5% of the nation's lawyer as voted by his peers. He is a member of the Million Dollar and Multiple Million Dollar Advocates Forum received to persons in his case who have the verdicts exceeding $2,000,000 or more or settlements over $2,000,000. Scott has had four verdicts and settlements exceeding that criterion. He is AV rated by Martindale & Hubbell. The highest rating given.. Scott is a member and past president of the Cleveland Academy of Trial Attorneys as well as a member of the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. He is a member of the American Bar Association and the Ohio State Bar Association where he is currently a district representative. As a member of the Cleveland Bar Association, Scott is the past chairman of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee and was a former director on the Young Lawyers' Section. Currently, he is a past chairman of the Common Pleas Committee of the Litigation Section.. He is a Diplomat in the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys and a member of the American Judicature Society, the National Organization of Social Security Claimant's Representatives, the Ohio State Bar Foundation and one of fewer than a hundred and thirty associates of the American Board of Trial Advocates.. In addition to lecturing to other practicing lawyers in Ohio, Scott has published on the topics of intentional tort law and experts.. Scott has been a partner since 1983:. "While our firm's expertise and mine over the last 33 years is in handling legal malpractice cases, I have handled those malpractice cases in many areas other than my own specialty.. Over the course of my years, outside of legal malpractice, I have handled many negligence claims, product liability claims (which are claims for defective products), aviation claims for both defective aircraft and negligence in flying that aircraft, admiralty cases that involve the specific are of the law that involves claims involving vessels.. I have handled many claims involving insurance including uninsured motorist and what they call bad faith litigation when an insurance company does not treat its insured or does not treat a defendant correctly and makes an offer to my client who then exposes that defendant to a judgment that is in excess of their insurance coverage. That is called third-party bad faith. Our firm had the original verdict in the State of Ohio of over seven figures for an insurance bad faith claim that occurred in a third-party situation where we took over the bad faith claim for a defendant who injured our client. We obtained a verdict against that defendant in 7 figures well over his insurance policy and then had that defendant transfer that verdict to our client to collect and our client brought the claim against the insurance company for the insurance company's bad faith against their own insured, the defendant, as a result of their failure to offer their policy limit when it was demanded.. I have also handled safe place to work claims, VSSR claims, accounting and other professional malpractice. I have handled legal malpractice cases in all of those fields were I am very conversant and understand the underlying law and have an ability myself to determine whether there is a deviation and damages even before I obtain an expert.. However, in addition to that, I have successfully handled very significant legal malpractice cases that took place in areas that I had not been exposed to before. For example, an investor Ponzi scam resulted in our client retaining an attorney to handle the claim against the investment houses. Although I had not had previous experience in that, I learned the entire area of the law, worked with an expert, and was successful in bringing the legal malpractice claim against that attorney and actually in discovering what had previously not been determined and was not determined even by our own expert until I saw it, that the negligent attorney entered into an arbitration proceeding which by definition for every attorney in the country who entered it, prejudiced their client because the standard of review in the arbitration was far greater and harder than the law required it to be. That area was: an arbitration procedure defined our client had to show reasonable reliance. The standard or burden should have been actual reliance which is a far easier standard to prove.". 2010 selected as a fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America. This is a trial lawyer honorary society composed of less than one-half of 1% of American lawyers. Fellowship in LCA is highly selective and by invitation only. Fellows are selected based upon excellence and accomplishment in litigation both at the trial and appellate levels and superior ethical reputation.

I have been with my wife for over 30 years. We have 3 daughters. 2 are in graduate school and one in high school. I come from a family of lawyers and currently have 2 brothers who are also attorneys, one in New York and one in Detroit.. I love practicing law and even after more than 25 years, I have no desire to do anything else. Being able to practice on the Lakeshore in West Michigan is just an added bonus. What a great place to live and work. The people, landscape and way of life just makes every day a gift.. I attended Central Michigan University, transferring to Wayne State University and graduating with a degree in Public Administration. I went to law school at Cooley Law School in Lansing when it was relatively new and the classes small. I still keep in touch with a number of my law school classmates, some of whom are right here in West Michigan.. I have extensive experience in civil litigation, ranging from dog bites, car accident and slip and fall cases to medical and legal malpractice and business litigation. I have represented both Plaintiffs and Defendants and inividuals as well as large companies. I represent Defendants and insurance carriers in litigation. When someone hires me, they are going to get that huge array of experience that I have to offer.

A Leading Plaintiffs' Attorney In The Legal Malpractice Field. Attorney Richard Gibbs Johnson, founder of the law firm of Richard G. Johnson Co., L.P.A. in 1990, is a leading practitioner in the area of plaintiffs' legal malpractice and related legal ethics and professional responsibility issues. Mr. Johnson stands leagues apart from other Ohio law firms in devoting his practice exclusively to this niche area, and he is the only Ohio attorney who limits his practice to this area. Mr. Johnson represents clients who have suffered serious financial losses due to negligent, reckless, intentional, fraudulent, or unethical conduct on the part of their lawyers or sports agents. He holds a master's degree in business administration as well as a juris doctorate, giving him unique insight into the business considerations surrounding high value claims. Businesses, individuals, professionals, and sports stars turn to him for experienced guidance and representation in major damage claims against their former lawyers or sports agents. Mr. Johnson is very selective in the cases he accepts: Prospective clients must have minimum economic damages of $250,000 for consideration, and prospective clients are typically charged a substantial initial review fee, which may be waived for significant claims. Cases may be taken on a contingent, hourly, or blended rate, depending upon the nature and value of the claim. Typically, bankruptcy, criminal, and domestic relations malpractice cases are handled on an hourly basis only, however, exceptions may apply in very limited circumstances.. Million-Dollar Results. Richard G. Johnson began his legal career nearly 25 years ago. Since then, he has earned a highly respected reputation for his success in handling complex legal malpractice and sports agent malpractice cases. He earned the largest settlement in the history of the Major League Baseball Players Association Grievance Arbitration on behalf of a professional baseball player against his lawyers and sports agents. Mr. Johnson has also been named among the Top Trial Lawyers in America and selected to the Million and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, reflecting his outstanding track record of settlements and verdicts.. In Good Company. Throughout his career, Mr. Johnson has been actively involved in various professional ethics organizations, including the American Bar Association's Center for Professional Responsibility and the Ohio State Bar Association's Legal Ethics and Professional Conduct Committee. He is one of only a handful of attorneys in Ohio elected into the American Law Institute, arguably the most selective and important legal organization in this country.. Contact. For more information, contact the law firm of Richard G. Johnson Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, Ohio, at, by fax at, or by the contact link on this page. Typically, Mr. Johnson prefers to receive only the following information initially: (1) your complete contact info; (2) complete contact info for who you want to sue; (3) the subject matter of the underlying representation; and (4) your estimated economic damages. If Mr. Johnson does not have a conflict of interest in representing you, and if your claimed damages meet his initial threshold, he may ask you to submit a detailed factual outline, before scheduling a teleconference to discuss your matter. Mr. Johnson would in no instance become your attorney without entering into a written and executed attorney-client contract with you.. Ohio Legal Malpractice Statute Of Limitations. In general, in Ohio, you have one (1) year from the date of occurrence to bring your legal malpractice claims, that period is tolled by the lawyer's continued legal employment on the same matter, and if you do not discover the legal malpractice during the representation, then you have one (1) year from the date that you and/or the reasonable person would/should have discovered the same. In addition, there are other tolling provisions as well as other considerations that may effect the determination of this date. As such, please keep in mind that the determination of this date is an art, not a science, and if you believe that you have valid claims to assert, you should retain an attorney immediately.. Other Options. If you cannot afford to retain me, you might consult your local legal aid society, your local or state public defender, the ACLU, any other legal clinics within your area, or the local bar associations for referrals to other lawyers. Please note that in regards to fee disputes, most bar associations have arbitration programs for the same that are free to you.
