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.

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.

Firm: McCarthy, Lebit, Crystal & Liffman Co., L.P.A.
101 West Prospect Avenue , Cleveland , Ohio 44115
Practice Areas: Wrongful Death
Representing individuals, families, and trial law primarily defines me. My varied complex caseload and travel energizes and challenges me on a daily basis. I have been extremely fortunate to come from the small state of Vermont to travelling the world representing individuals in their struggles against large corporations and insurance companies. With the help of juries and the legal system, over the decades, I have been able to help right many egregious wrongs. Much of the credit for where I am professionally rests with my two wonderful parents, Lee and Judy. They imparted me with the pursuit of education, ethics, drive, fight and passion that has led to a track record of success.
