Ohio Lawyers Who Identify Malpractice and Help Victims Get Justice
Negligence by a professional is known as malpractice. For a malpractice claim to succeed, it must have the following characteristics:
1. Violation of professional standards
Professionals must meet certain minimum standards, often referred to as the “standard of care.” To prove malpractice it’s necessary to prove the professional violated the standard of care. We do this by hiring top-notch experts.
2. Injury or loss resulting in considerable damages
Malpractice lawsuits can be emotionally draining and are typically expensive to litigate. Also, many states, including Ohio, have unfairly placed artificial limits on the amount of money malpractice victims can receive for certain types of harms. As a result, in many malpractice cases it doesn’t make sense to pursue the claim unless significant harm or death has occurred.
3. Harm caused by negligence
For a malpractice claim to succeed, it’s not enough to prove that the professional violated the standard of care, and that our client suffered serious harm. It’s also essential to prove that the malpractice caused the harm.

Our Process
1. Initial conversation

2. Evaluation
As we collect information, including records and witness statements, we assess the strengths and weaknesses of all possible claims and defenses and whether pre-suit settlement is feasible.
3. Filing the lawsuit
This starts the formal litigation process. Prior to filing we strategize as a team and collaborate with you to determine a path that we believe will best accomplish your goals.
4. Exchange of information
This is called the discovery phase and includes exchanging documents and obtaining testimony under oath from witnesses and experts.
5. Mediation
After sufficient information has been obtained, many times the parties will attempt to resolve the case by using a neutral person to help bring the sides together.
6. Trial
If mediation or negotiations are unsuccessful, the next stop is the courthouse.

Excellent firm i am so glad I found cooper Elliot. My attorneys Jon and Adam helped me through the entire process
I am so glad I found cooper Elliot. My attorneys Jon and Adam helped me through the entire process. After a traumatic experience... in my life I was confused and in pain. They worked tirelessly to become familiar with all the details of my story and represented me in a way that made me more able to process and understand the trauma myself. This was huge for me, while there’s still healing to do, I can do that work now instead of staying in a purgatory of cognitive dissonance. They didn’t just win justice for me, they are a significant part of my healing journey. They were validating, non judgmental, honest, and knowledgeable.read more

I honestly struggle to find the words to describe how incredible this firm is, especially Jeffrey Kenny and Sean Alto. 7 years... ago, my family started a journey through a nightmare. When the criminal justice system fell woefully short, Jeff agreed to take on our incredibly challenging and lengthy case, with no other reason than that it was the right thing to do, and he believed we deserved justice. There were so many times when I would have understood if they walked away, but they refused and vowed to get us the justice we deserved, and almost 7 years later, they have given my family just that. I will never, ever, forget what they have done for us. We were never just another case. They made us feel like we were their ONLY case! Thank you will never come close to the gratitude and respect I have for Jeff and Sean, as well as for Cooper Elliott. They will be superheroes in our home, forever!read more

Adam Richards is the best attorney I have ever met. He is responsive and very patient (I had a lot of questions) and he truly... cares. He fought hard for me and he stands up to the bully. he is not afraid to take on anyone. Anytime I hear someone who has a legal issue I go out of my way to recommend Adam. He is unlike any attorney I have ever met. He is compassionate and he always answers his phone. There is no way I would have got the results I received with any other attorney. He was a bulldog in my case and really went to bat for me. Words cant express how grateful I am to him. His actions personally affected my life in a very positive way. He protected me in so many ways I couldn't begin to name them. It is a great feeling when you know your attorney outmatches the other party's attorney and it is obvious.read more
