Business Litigation

The break up of a small company or firm, issues with competitors and routine efforts to navigate complex issues often involve the need for sophisticated and aggressive legal representation.

Land Use & Zoning

Sometimes commercial development, whether a client advocates or opposes, involves complex local zoning and land use issues, often leading to litigation. We also assist property owners with applications for conditional use permits and variances under local zoning laws, and represent property owners in eminent domain actions and real estate tax appeals to local boards of revision. Leppla Associates enjoys a long history of dealing with such issues administratively and in the courts.

Attorney Ethics

Leppla Associates has long represented consumers of legal services as well as attorneys on matters of professional responsibility, including representation before disciplinary authorities at the Ohio Supreme Court and other ethics commissions. Leppla Associates is uniquely situated for such representation, with a singular background in handling such issues.

Probate

Issues involving the handling of the affairs and estate of a deceased relative, as well as litigation issues associated with probate and fiduciary matters, in the states of Florida and Ohio represent a significant portion of the practice of Leppla Associates. The goal is to understand the client's goals, concerns and need for movement towards closure of such matters.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice claims and lawsuits can arise when people are injured by careless acts of a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, podiatrist, hospital or other health care provider. Injuries suffered as a result of medical malpractice can be severe and life altering. Our firm understands your immediate anxiety and concern following such trauma.

Personal Injury

Automobile accidents, wrongful death, construction incidents, product malfunctions and injuries in commercial settings damage health and income. A family can suffer as a result of negligence.
