Our litigation practice group has an emphasis in the following areas: Business Contract and Tort Disputes Our attorneys represent clients from individuals to large companies in business and commercial disputes, covering the gamut of subject matter from sales and service contract disputes and employment relations matters to questions of unfair competition, trade secrets, non-compete agreements, and misappropriation of business opportunities.

Constitutional Litigation Our attorneys have also conducted numerous pieces of constitutional litigation, especially in the areas of free speech rights and campaign finance issues. Notable cases handled by the firm include the First Amendment rights case styled Kruse, et al. v. City of Cincinnati, et al., in which the City of Cincinnati's campaign spending limits ordinance was ruled unconstitutional. In 1998, the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the case, preserving victory for the firm's clients. It was in part as a result of this victory that Christopher P. Finney, Esq. was named one of eight "Ohio Lawyers of the Year" for 1998 by Ohio Lawyer Weekly, the only comprehensive source of statewide legal news for Ohio attorneys and judges. We would be pleased to discuss with you any matter you believe might benefit from our attention and services. Attorneys who can assist you in this area include: |
