I've been practicing law in north-central Ohio since 1975, concentrating most of my general practice in family law, estate planning and administration, real estate, finance, litigation and injury matters.  I work toward achieving justice for my clients every day I go into the office. I also try just as often to do something to improve the law profession and our legal system. My professional goals are for people to be treated fairly in this world and for lawyers to deserve a terrific reputation as a group.  I am also honored to have an AV rating with Martindale-Hubbell.

My interests include family!  Then, diversity, improving the legal profession and administration of justice, representing clients carefully, general law practice, helping mentor young lawyers, receiving referrals, music, canoeing, photography and reading fiction.  I play guitar in a band with my son and some friends and have a blast doing it.
