  • Female Federal Employee

    We represented a Cincinnati-based federal employee in EEO complaint investigation and mediation proceedings involving allegations of sexual harassment by her male supervisor. We negotiated a confidential settlement agreement prior to filing a lawsuit. (January 2025).

  • Selection Management Systems Inc. v. InfoCheck Solutions, et al.
    We represented an employee and her new employer who were sued by her former employer for alleged violations of a non-compete clause in her employment agreement. The former employer alleged that our client had unlawfully accepted new employment with a competitor, solicited clients and vendors of the former employer, and used the former’s employer’s confidential information. In an expedited case, we successfully argued against a preliminary injunction that would have forced the employee out of her new job. After losing its motion for preliminary injunction, the former employer dismissed all claims against our clients. Selection Management Systems Inc. v. InfoCheck Solutions, et al., Hamilton C.P. No. A-2502052 (May 23, 2025)
  • Trade Secrets and Breach of Loyalty

    We represented two employees and their new business when their former employer sued them, alleging that they had created a competing business and violated their duties to the company. Our client countersued for false imprisonment based on forced questioning of the client behind closed doors. The case settled with our clients able to continue operating their new business. (May 2025)

  • Pregnancy Loss in Minor Traffic Crash

    We represented a young mother who tragically lost the life of her unborn baby as a result of a minor car accident. We negotiated a policy-limits settlement with her insurer under an Uninsured Motorist/Underinsured Motorist policy for injuries to our client and her unborn child. (October 2025).

  • Co-founder Contract Dispute

    We represented a co-founder of an Ohio-based healthcare case-management corporation in a dispute with the company’s new owners. The breach of contract action centered on the company’s refusal to payinsurance premiums for our client despite the parties’ contract. Shortly before trial, the parties resolved their case on confidential settlement terms. (August 2023)

  • Medical Neglect by Prison Officials

    We represented a previously incarcerated man and brought Eighth Amendment claims under Section 1983 against the Ohio Department of Corrections for medical neglect. The prison where he was incarcerated did not adequately monitor his condition or properly prescribe his medication. As a result, his condition worsened and left him permanently blind. On appeal to the Sixth Circuit, the Court ruled that the prison’s medical team was not entitled to qualified immunity, and summary judgment was denied. Following this ruling, the case was settled for $325,000 before trial. Jamal Murray v. Ohio Dept. of Corrections, et al.. Case No. 1:14-cv-168 (S.D. Ohio) (November 2022)

  • Caretaker Negligence Wrongful Death

    Our firm represented the estate of a 99-year-old Cincinnati woman in a wrongful death action. Our client was living in a care facility, and her family had hired a 24/7 caretaker to look after her and assist her. Her caretaker’s negligence led to a fall that caused injuries and resulted in her death. We filed suit and successfully mediated a $237,500 settlement before trial. (January 2022)

  • Brain Injury from Vehicle Crash

    Our firm represented a local teen and her parents after she suffered a permanent brain injury as a passenger in a single vehicle crash. The vehicle was driven by an unlicensed teen driver, at speeds of more than 60 miles per hour in a parking lot, and ultimately crashed into a pole. We sued the driver and owner of the vehicle. The court denied the vehicle owner’s motion for summary judgment. The case was resolved prior to trial for $400,000. (April 2022)

  • Retaliation for Sexual Harassment Complaints

    We represented a Kentucky woman employed as a Human Resources Director for a large, multinational corporation. She discovered and investigated numerous incidents of sexual harassment and misconduct, but her reports were ignored by higher-ups, and she was retaliated against for raising concerns. After filing suit and engaging in discovery, the parties resolved their dispute by confidential settlement. (July 2020)
