Giving You The Resources To Recover

Was Negligence A Factor In Your Loved One’s Death?

The law can only do so much. We understand that no amount of compensation can ever replace a loved one. Still, we believe that it is a family’s right to seek justice if that wrongful death was caused by an act of negligence of another. We will help you find the people responsible and hold them accountable for their actions.

A Team Recognized For Legal Excellence

Our attorneys have the experience that has been recognized throughout the state and the country. Lead lawyer Michael Colley has served as elected president of the American Association for Justice (formerly the American Trial Lawyers Association) and the National Board of Trial Advocacy, two most prestigious legal organizations in the United States. Among our attorneys are former criminal prosecutors, lecturers, educators, legal textbook authors and a nurse, whose medical experience helps us truly understand many of the important details in these cases.

Our successful claims include.

  • $1,200,000: A 70-year-old man presented to the hospital for routine blood work after cancer treatment for acute leukemia. The patient was not told that there was Legionella in the water supply and seven days later came down with Legionnaires’ disease after he drank from the fountain that had tested positive for the bacteria. The nurses at the hospital were told to merely give the outpatients bottled water, but they did not instruct them to not drink the water. The patient became sick and eventually died from complications from the infection. The case was filed against the state of Ohio in the Ohio Court of Claims. The damage caps in the Court of Claims limit damages to $250,000 for pain and suffering.

We are proud to stand up for the rights of grieving families, and we have recovered tens of millions of dollars for injured people and their loved ones.
