“In September of 2003, a Summit County (Ohio) jury granted a nearly $213 million award against a former Fairlawn company, Telxon Corporation. It blasted the previous county record by a factor of nearly 30 and was the sixth largest jury award in the country that year.” –Richard Weiner, Akron Legal News

At the Melick Law Firm, LLC

It is our experience that the hourly-fee arrangements that are standard in commercial litigation can significantly impact a small or mid-sized company's business objectives. We thus believe that many businesses and individuals are reluctant to pursue valid commercial claims through litigation, even where such claims have a significant potential recovery, absent innovative fee arrangements.

Accordingly, The Melick Law Firm, LLC started doing contingency work in commercial and complex tort litigation to give those companies an opportunity to protect their property and commercial rights when they otherwise could not afford it. In our experience, a family-owned business that is now out of business cannot afford to pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to a lawyer to bring their case, plus expenses, when there's no guarantee they're even going to win. In our cases, however, we are able to pursue valuable claims that would otherwise never be heard. Our extensive trial experience allows us to level the playing field on our clients' behalf against better-resourced defendants. Our record of successes strengthens your claims with impressive bargaining power.

The choice is yours.
