What I Handle

Practice Areas

From workplace disputes to DUI defense, I handle a wide range of legal matters for individuals and families in North Canton and surrounding communities.

01

Employment Discrimination

Get help with this

If you've been treated unfairly at work because of your race, gender, age, disability, religion, or other protected status, you have rights — and I'll fight to enforce them.

Ohio and federal law prohibit employers from discriminating against employees and job applicants based on protected characteristics. Whether you've been passed over for a promotion, subjected to a hostile work environment, or wrongfully terminated, you may have a claim. I evaluate the facts of your situation, advise you on your options, and represent you through the EEOC process or in court.

02

Housing Discrimination

Get help with this

Everyone deserves fair access to housing. I represent clients who have been denied housing, harassed, or treated differently based on race, disability, familial status, or other protected characteristics.

The Fair Housing Act and Ohio law prohibit discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing. If a landlord refused to rent to you, imposed different terms, or created a hostile living environment based on a protected characteristic, you may have a legal remedy. I help clients navigate fair housing complaints and pursue the compensation they deserve.

03

Divorce & Dissolutions

Get help with this

Navigating the end of a marriage is hard enough. I help clients reach fair resolutions on property division, custody, and support — without unnecessary conflict or delay.

Ohio offers both contested divorce and dissolution of marriage. Dissolution is a mutual, uncontested process that is typically faster and less expensive. Divorce is appropriate when the parties cannot agree. I guide clients through both processes, helping negotiate fair terms on asset division, spousal support, parental rights, and child support — and litigating when necessary to protect your interests.

04

Landlord / Tenant

Get help with this

Whether you're a tenant facing an unlawful eviction or a landlord dealing with a difficult situation, I provide clear, practical legal guidance.

Ohio landlord-tenant law governs security deposits, habitability standards, eviction procedures, and lease disputes. Tenants have the right to a safe, livable home and protection from retaliatory eviction. Landlords have the right to enforce lease terms and recover possession of their property through proper legal channels. I represent both landlords and tenants and help resolve disputes efficiently.

05

Employment Matters

Get help with this

From wrongful termination to wage disputes and non-compete agreements, I help employees and small businesses resolve workplace legal problems.

Employment law covers a broad range of issues beyond discrimination — including wrongful termination, unpaid wages, overtime violations, retaliation, and contract disputes. If you believe your employer has violated your rights or breached an agreement, I can evaluate your claim and advise you on the best path forward, whether through negotiation, agency complaint, or litigation.

06

Unemployment Appeals

Get help with this

If your unemployment claim was denied, you have the right to appeal. I'll help you build a strong case and represent you through the hearing process.

Ohio Unemployment Insurance denials can be appealed to the Unemployment Compensation Review Commission. The appeal process involves a formal hearing where evidence and testimony are presented. Having legal representation significantly improves your chances of a successful outcome. I help clients gather the right documentation, prepare for the hearing, and present a compelling case.

07

DUI Defense

Get help with this

A DUI charge can affect your license, your job, and your future. I provide aggressive, knowledgeable defense to protect your rights and minimize consequences.

Ohio OVI (Operating a Vehicle Impaired) charges carry serious consequences including license suspension, fines, and potential jail time. I review the circumstances of your stop, the administration of field sobriety tests, and the accuracy of chemical testing to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case. My goal is to achieve the best possible outcome — whether that means a dismissal, reduced charges, or minimized penalties.

08

Personal Injury

Get help with this

When someone else's negligence causes you harm, you deserve full and fair compensation. I handle injury cases on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win.

Personal injury claims arise from car accidents, slip and falls, workplace injuries, and other situations where another party's negligence caused you harm. I handle the legal process so you can focus on recovery — investigating the incident, dealing with insurance companies, and pursuing maximum compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Contingency fee arrangements mean there's no upfront cost to you.
