Experience with a broader view

Born in Mansfield, Ohio and raised in a blue-collar environment, Rob brings a practical, client-focused perspective to matters carrying substantial personal, professional, financial, or organizational consequences — informed as much by courtroom experience as by years spent inside organizations as counsel.

That range includes trial and appellate work in complex civil and serious criminal matters, and service as General Counsel to Digital Health Care, Inc. and to Edgewater Towers Condominium Association, where he advised on litigation, business development, governance, and board responsibility. Rob holds his law degree from the University of Akron School of Law and his undergraduate degree from Ohio University.

Rob's guiding view is that the visible dispute is rarely the whole problem — that effective representation often means examining the decisions, policies, communications, incentives, relationships, and failures of oversight that produced it. That perspective, built from working both sides of the Courtroom-to-Boardroom divide, now shapes how he advises clients on litigation risk, business formation, and organizational compliance and governance.

Rob practices from Lakewood, Ohio, in the greater Cleveland area — a region anchored by one of the country's largest concentrated healthcare economies, with major hospital systems, physician groups, and affiliated organizations operating alongside a dense network of vendors, condominium and homeowner associations, and closely held businesses. That environment generates a steady stream of the same underlying issues: unclear lines of authority, contracts that outlive the assumptions behind them, and internal concerns that surface long before they reach a courtroom.
