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.

Excellent
Mr. Wilson was very informative, patient and willing to assist me in helping my father deal with my mothers death. He did not make promises he knew he could not keep and was very honest about the possible outcome. He did assist our family with what he could do and I would recommend him to any one!
"I've known Brian for a number of years. He is a lawyer's-lawyer. By that I mean that he is respected by friend and foe alike. His clients are in good hands."
"I endorse this lawyer. Top-notch personal injury attorney in Ohio. I'd put Brian's know-how about how personal injury cases are supposed to be handled in the top tier of all personal injury lawyers in Ohio. He cares about his clients, to boot."
"I endorse Brian Wilson. He has years of solid experience, attorneys respect him, clients like him, and his answers to questions that are published at Avvo.com clearly show that he knows accident law and likes to make sure his clients understand it too. And he has published a very well written Avvo Legal Guide on how to find the right personal injury lawyer too. If you have a question about personal injury law, he is your answer. I recommend him to you."
"Mr. Wilson is a highly competent attorney and represents his clients extremely well."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Wilson is a very knowledgeable attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Brian is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate attorneys that I know. He knows the law and pursues justice for his clients without exception."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked with Brian on several matters including publishing an excellent article he wrote for my Ohio Family Law Blog about important language to consider when drafting a divorce seperation agreement. He hit a "grand slam" with the article about homeowner's and auto insurance considerations that family law practioneers might find very helpful. He takes excellent care of his clients and is very knowledgable!"
