Our history
Our founding partners, Jim Slater and Rick Zurz, built the firm with a shared vision: deliver exceptional legal results while treating clients with dignity and respect. That legacy continues today across every case we take.
Grounded in community
But legal skill is just the starting point. What sets our team apart is how much we care. Many of our attorneys were born and raised in Ohio and are deeply rooted in the communities they serve. Behind every strategy session, deposition, or negotiation is a shared goal: doing right by real people.
Outside the courtroom, our attorneys give back through local outreach, scholarship programs, and education initiatives that help build a safer Ohio.
