In January the Akron Bar Association and the Akron Legal News joined hands in a first-ever contest to identify the top five most significant cases handled by local legal professionals over the last 18 months.
Firms and in-house legal departments were asked to submit their top three cases or transactions that were resolved or took place between June 2015 and Dec. 31, 2016.
The cases and/or transactions were to be selected based on precedent, a major verdict, dollar amount or the impact on the community.
Ohio Defense Firm is not a traditional law firm in any sense. Each lawyer maintains a separate law practice thereby protecting the confidences and secrets of clients through separate filing systems, secretarial support, and other procedures that support the separateness of each practice. No lawyer shares in any fee paid by any individual client unless more than one Attorney is hired from Ohio Defense Firm. Donald J. Malarcik, Brian Pierce, Noah C. Munyer and Jacob T. Will maintain separate and distinct computer systems and filing systems ensuring no one has access to other attorney’s client information.
