Use a Law Firm with a Full Litigation Department

Unlike many law firms, Schiff & Associates has a full litigation department with a successful record for winning when we need to take a case to trial.  Most of the time we are able to settle out of court, but when need to go to trial, our board certified civil litigation specialists focus exclusively on preparing for and trying the case before a judge and jury.

One of our outstanding litigation attorneys, and recognized as one of Ohio’s top trial attorneys is James E. Arnold.  Over the last 15 years, Jim has been consistently named by Best Lawyers in America, and Ohio’s Superlawyers as one of Ohio’s top litigators in commercial and personal injury litigation.  Other honors include being named as one of Central Ohio’s Top 100 Lawyers by Columbus’ Business First; and in 2007,  selected as one of the “500 Leading Plaintiff’s Lawyers in America” by Lawdragon.

Jim’s exemplary career also includes being certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as a Civil Trial Specialist as well as inducted as a fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois in 2005.  This is an extremely rare honor as entrance to the organization is by invitation only and limited to a state’s top 1% of trial lawyers.

With his extensive background and expertise, Jim focuses on both commercial and traditional tort litigation for plaintiffs and for the defense.  Along with the assistance of the rest of the firm, he handles business and commercial, class action, real estate, probate, ERISA, wrongful death and catastrophic personal injury litigation.

Since experience has shown us that settling a case out of court is not always the best decision, the attorneys at Schiff & Associates are ready to litigate your case when necessary.  With a full range of legal skills, including those required to win courtroom litigations, we work hard to get our clients’ the fair compensation they deserve.
