Founding Partner Helen Mac Murray marks her 12th consecutive year on the Best Lawyers list, and this year she does it in four practice areas. A former Chief of the Ohio Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Section, Helen handles a wide range of issues for clients, from advertising claims and consumer protection investigations to the government relations strategy that keeps clients ahead of new regulation.
Managing Partner Michele Shuster returns to the list for her work in Consumer Law. Also a former state Consumer Protection Chief, Michele helps clients in tightly regulated industries build compliance programs that hold up before regulators start asking questions.
Betty Montgomery, Of Counsel and former Ohio Attorney General, is again recognized for Government Relations. Her decades in public office continue to give clients a rare vantage point on how regulatory decisions actually get made.
Joshua O. Stevens moves up to Best Lawyers this year in Consumer Protection Law, following prior recognition as a Ones to Watch honoree. Josh is a frequent voice on privacy and data security, as well as consumer protection compliance.
Chad Blackham, returns to Ones to Watch for Administrative/Regulatory Law. Chad advises clients navigating federal and state regulatory requirements, with a practical, business-minded approach to compliance and enforcement defense.
