I am a principal partner at Fields, Dehmlow & Vessels, LLC.  I handle exclusively civil litigation matters. 

My primary practice areas are in personal injury, wrongful death, insurance disputes, and employee benefits litigation  (ERISA). 

I handle an array of personal injury matters sometimes involving minor injuries, but often involving substantial injuries, and sometimes death.  I was recently invited to join the Million Dollar Advocates Forum (TM) after successfully negotiating a settlement exceeding $1 million in a wrongful death matter.

ERISA litigation usually arises from the wrongful denial of employee insurance benefits--health insurance, long-term disability insurance, accidental death & dismemberment insurance, and life insurance. It also covers claims related to pension benefits.

In addition to personal injury and insurance litigation, I often accept general civil litigation matters such as real estate and business disputes.

I am licensed in both Ohio and West Virginia.  I accept cases throughout Southeast Ohio and Northern West Virginia.
