represent clients in most of the situations requiring legal services that happen to ordinary people – personal injury, probate, wills and estate planning, criminal trials and appeals, traffic offenses, small business planning and incorporation, foreclosure and civil litigation. I practice in mayor's court, municipal court, court of common pleas, court of appeals and probate court.

Most of my clients are in Portage, Cuyahoga, and Summit counties. I also represent clients in Geauga, Lake, Medina, Lorain, Erie, Ottawa, Sandusky and Lucas counties. Over the course of my career I have represented clients throughout Ohio, including Ashtabula, Trumbull, Stark, Wayne, Richland, Seneca, Wood, Franklin, Washington, Preble and Hamilton counties, and, at last count, in twenty-five municipal court districts. After thirty years in the Bedford Court District, I moved in 2004, to Suffield Township in Portage County, a mile south of I-76 on State Route 532 on the edge of Mogadore Village, between Akron and Kent, The address is 367 North Cleveland Avenue (Route 532), and my location is surrounded by the Mogadore Country Club.

If you wish to do some research on your own to determine whether you need legal counsel, you may use this link to Ohio Revised Code. Traffic offenses may be found at Chapter 4511; general criminal offenses are in Title 29. Make sure you look at the "penalty" sections, which are the section ".99" of each chapter. Then call me.
