Successful Auto Accident Outcome for Client
We were able to work with the municipal prosecutor to get the case resolved to a no-point violation.
We have a client that had a fender-bender bad day – as anyone can.
No personal injury to speak of, but the client was charged with what you commonly call a “rear-ender” charge in the municipal court.

Something the client and the client’s insurance company was very pleased with.

The law firm that represented our client made some rather big mistakes in how that law firm handled a lawsuit for the client.
Case is in suit now. It is amazing to us how anti-client a former law firm can get once they get sued for malpractice
Stay tuned for this one.
Successful Outcome for Client in Health Insurance Greed
After lots and lots of motion practice, we were able to get the health insurance company to take a huge “haircut” on what they were asking for. Our client was very happy.
We successfully resolved a rather serious dispute with the health insurance company for one of our clients.
After our client was seriously injured in a car accident, the health insurance company (as they often do) demanded that our client pay them what is called a “reimbursement/subrogation” amount for the health insurance benefits that were used by the client for medical services rendered to the client as a result of the accident.
Although health insurance companies can somewhat do this (they have good lobby folks in Columbus), there is a law in Ohio that bars those health insurance companies from being too “greedy” when it comes to this.
After lots and lots of motion practice, we were able to get the health insurance company to take a huge “haircut” on what they were asking for. Our client was very happy.
Parenting Dispute Moved Successfully to Juvenile Court
We were able to get the municipal court to relinquish any jurisdiction over the “parenting” issues our client and the mother had.
Recently we were able to assist a client who was involved in a dispute with the mother of his child - which resulted in charges in a municipal court against our client (which were handled by a lawyer other than us).
We were able (after the municipal court case was over) to get the municipal court to relinquish any jurisdiction over the “parenting” issues our client and the mother had.
The mother would have preferred that the municipal court have jurisdiction over these parenting issues – but we argued that the Juvenile Court (and the Juvenile Court alone) had the proper jurisdiction on these issues.
We are now working on the parenting issues in the Juvenile Court.

This client is in college and the diversion program will allow the client to do some community work service, pay a fine – and then get the case dismissed and expunged.

We were happy to get the shortest sentence for a former prison inmate who (while out on parole) lead the police on a short but potentially dangerous car chase.
We were able to use the excellent prison history (he had been in prison for some time before being released), and his outstanding work history after prison release to show the Judge that this was a one-time bad night decision combined with a long-standing history of just being afraid of police in general.
Successful Outcome for Client
We were able to secure probation for a mother of kids who got caught up with some major drug dealers here in Cleveland – including the father of her children.
We were able to secure what is functionally probation for a mother of kids who got caught up with some major drug dealers here in Cleveland – including the father of her children.
It was not an easy effort to convince the Judge and the Prosecutor that this woman was marginally involved with the drug dealing activities and that she had a regular job and significant child raising responsibilities.

We proved that a domestic relations lawyer had neglected her duty to look at the value of a big pension while representing the client in a divorce. Stated another way, this domestic relations lawyer believed that if you do a “cheap” divorce, you have no obligation to look at the value of assets.
We are happy our client could get a portion of the value she lost due to this malpractice.
