A local attorney, in every sense
I was born and raised in Lima, with family roots that run generations deep in the greater Lima area. After earning my law degree at Ohio Northern University, I returned home to practice with Huffman, Kelley & Brock — the downtown Lima firm where I clerked through law school. Since 2020, I have also served as City Law Director for Wapakoneta, where I live with my wife, Brooke, and our children.
Clients work directly with me — not a call center or a case manager — and get honest answers about their options, their odds, and their costs.
