Firm History:
In 1995, George Loucas started the practice after working as a defense attorney for Hartford Insurance Company, and then as a plaintiff’s attorney working with a well known Cleveland Ohio firm. George opened his office in downtown Cleveland’s Standard Building which is traditionally known as the “lawyers’ building” since it is located right across the street from the Justice Center. He was immediately successful with several well-publicized and successful jury verdicts in the area of medical practice. George rapidly developed a keen understanding of the medical issues involved in medical malpractice, wrongful death and serious personal injury litigation. The experience he received as a registered pharmacist, and working in Northeast Ohio for several years as a pharmacist before becoming an attorney, helped George become familiar with the medical issues that affect families.

In 1995, Penny became “of Counsel” with George, and worked with him on many cases while still maintaining her office (started it in 1989) in Weirton West Virginia. In 1999, a decision to close the West Virginia office was made because the Cleveland firm had grown significantly in case load. On staff were the two attorneys, a legal assistant and a nurse/attorney. In 2000, Cathryn joined the practice. She had been practicing as an attorney handling “mass tort” litigation, such as asbestos, brake lining, and explosive cases. She also had represented hundreds of individuals in social security disability and workers compensation claims.

In 2004, the practice moved to Independence, Ohio because of the major growth of the firm, and to be more easily accessible to their clients.
