IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE, AND
IMPROVING THE PRACTICE OF LAW.....

The members of our firm work to improve the quality of life for clients who have been seriously injured or disabled, and we work to help people get through tough times when they have other legal difficulties.

Our lawyers and legal staff work hard to try to accomplish these goals through negotiations and in the courtroom. Our lawyers are in court nearly everyday to argue cases in Defiance, Henry, Fulton, Paulding, Putnam, Williams, and Van Wert Counties.

Our lawyers work to improve the legal system by publishing legal articles in quality publications, and giving speeches at continuing legal education seminars with insights that may help other attorneys; providing friend of the court briefs on important issues before the courts; testifying before the Ohio Legislature; and by serving on boards of the Ohio State Bar Association, the Ohio Association for Justice and the Northwest Ohio Bar Grievance Committee, as well as others.

The attorneys frequently serve on other specialty committees in an attempt to try to change the legal climate for their clients.

All members of the firm also serve some people who cannot afford attorneys by accepting pro bono referrals from specific legal organizations.

Outside the legal world, our lawyers work to improve the quality of life of our neighbors by providing free seminars on Living Wills, Social Security Disability, and other topics; by sponsoring merit-based scholarships for high school students; by providing high school programs about the jury system; and by speaking at local colleges and high schools on a variety of legal related topics. The attorneys have been involved in fund raising activities for their churches; have helped raise money for Good Samaritan Schools; and have donated to a number of foundations and causes. In addition, the attorneys have coached on a volunteer basis for their children and neighbors' basketball, tennis, baseball and soccer teams.

Our lawyers have also served as Board members for the Red Cross, the Health Board, the former Mental Health Board, parent-teacher organizations, and participated as Scout leaders.
