I was born in Cleveland, Ohio, immediately after W.W.II, but before the Baby Boom – part of the Not-Recognized Generation - December 19, 1945. I have lived and worked most of my life within 20 minutes of my place of birth.
I attended Cleveland Heights public schools, graduating from Heights High in 1963. I received my bachelor`s degree from Kent State University (class of 67) and my law degree from Case Western Reserve University (class of 70). I was admitted to the Ohio Bar on May 2, 1970, two days before the killings at Kent State.
My professional focus is on solving people problems, be that their need for a will, deed, power of attorney, corporation, partnership, trust or other legal document, to dealing with personal tragedies, be it a personal injury, marital difficulties, or guardianships, or other civil or criminal representation.
I try to make myself available when my clients are available, be it weekdays, evenings or even some Sundays. I do take Friday evening and Saturdays for personal time.
I take great enjoyment from observing excellent professionals doing their best, be it as musicians, athletes, or artists. I have taken great enjoyment in the success of the Cleveland Indians and great hopes for the Cleveland Browns.
DUI/DWI: What is it?
DUI, DWI, OUI and OUIL are all terms for driving drunk (drunk driving) at or above a certain level of alcohol. Well over a million drivers (1.5) are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs in the United States every year. Even though all states have lowered blood alcohol levels to .08, every state has its own laws and consequences for driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating under the influence (OUI) or operating under the influence of liquor (OUIL).
In addition to drunk driving being a criminal matter (court matter and a crime) it is also an administrative matter pertaining to the drivers license (immediate, mandatory and automatic license suspension). Immediate driver license suspension laws for alcohol-impaired drivers, refers to administrative per se (APS), automatic license revocation (ARL) or on-the-spot license suspension laws. These laws are different for each state and each one has it own automatic license suspension consequences.
