Attorneys

Career Overview

I am a principal, a founder, and a named partner of HCP.  In over 40 years of practice, I have served as lead trial counsel for concerns here and around the country in the areas of product liability, employment, environmental, toxic, medical/medical device, insurance, and insurance recovery litigation.  I have also led the firm’s Litigation Management Group that coordinates litigation for both public and private company clients, locally and nationally.

The privilege to represent our clients has been earned over a lifetime of hard work and commitment to client objectives and problem solving.  The skills that have made this succeed started with a caring and creative family, with roots in farming, business, academics, music, and athletics.  They were built upon an education at the University of Vermont and Case Western Reserve University’s College of Law.  They grew over many years of defending and trying cases for health care providers, tire manufacturers, paint and coating companies, contractors, school districts, the paper manufacturing industry, chemical companies, architects, attorneys and other professionals, the trucking industry, and communication companies.

There have also been many years of service to the Bar Association, community charities and foundations, Summit County Children Services Board and our hospital institutions.   I now serve Of Counsel to the firm but remain available at any time to discuss your legal needs.
