There's a reason why over 90% of my clients find me through word of mouth referrals from current or past clients. I don't "chase" accident victims or advertise on TV. For 34 years I've stood side by side with Ohioans injured in car, trucking, motorcycle, and medical mishaps in courtrooms all over the state. I'm not a "high volume" personal injury lawyer. Because I don't have hundreds or thousands of clients at any one time, it allows me the privilege of getting to know you and your concerns with a more attentive ear. One of most rewarding aspects of what I do is that I have become friends with or maintain contact with most of my clients after their case is concluded.
I also know that I still have a lot to learn in my profession. Despite my experience, I've never felt that I have everything "figured out." Like life, the practice of law should be one of constant learning on the continual path to wisdom. My clients deserve no less.
On a personal note, I have been a youth baseball and basketball coach for years and an avid walleye fisherman--a certified "fishingaholic," and I'm pretty good at it. I also enjoy gardening and canning. I also play golf infrequently--and poorly enough to convince me to stick to fishing.

Personal Injury Case Expertly Handled
I was injured in a car accident when I driver ran a red light. While the other driver was at fault, dealing with the insurance companies, seeking treatment, and fielding calls from "ambulance chasers" was still a headache. I had never been in an auto accident prior to this incident, and the web of le...

Happy We Hire Brian Wilson

There are other lawyers and then there is Brian Wilson. You want Brian.
I was standing next to the obliterated mess of what moments before had been the rear half of a nice car. I'd stopped for a line of traffic ahead, waiting for a car to turn, when a guy driving a large cargo van decided playing with an electronic device was more important than hitting his brakes. Being...

Motorcycle injury lawyer
After being involved in a very serious bike wreck we chose the lawyer that wasn't screaming to take our case before they ever knew the story.
