I have worked for over 20 years representing victims and survivors of catastrophic crashes. My partners at Young & McCarthy LLP have merged with Leizerman & Associates to form The Law Firm for Truck Safety. We concentrate our practice on catastrophic truck crashes and wrongful death litigation. I hold an active, interstate, Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and I regularly drive my own Peterbilt semi-tractor and 45-foot car trailer. I have testified as a Truck Safety Advocate before the U.S. House of Representatives, Subcommittee on Highways and Transit. I am a member of the Owner Operators Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA). I have testified on behalf of OOIDA and the Ohio Association for Justice's Truck Safety Section before the Ohio Senate Transportation Committee. I currently serve as an Executive Officer of the American Association for Justice's Trucking Litigation Group. I am the immediate, past president of the Lorain County Bar Association (LCBA). I am "AV" rated by Martindale-Hubbell and I have been included in Ohio Super Lawyers. I have received numerous awards from AAJ TLG, OAJ, and was the LCBA Member of the Year in 2016. I serve on the Board of Regents for the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys (ATAA) and I currently serve as ATAA's Education Chair. I lecture frequently at continuing legal education programs on trucking litigation and trial advocacy. I have served as a Moderator and on the Organization Committee for two industry "Truck Underride Roundtables" hosted at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) at their crash test facility in Ruckersville, Virginia. I am also a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). I am a partner with The Law Firm for Truck Safety with attorneys located in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, and Nashville. My team works with attorneys and clients throughout the nation. Please contact me so we can offer you help too! Show less
