We know what it takes to maximize your recovery with insurance companies, hospitals and corporations because we used to represent them. We used to be partners in two of Cleveland's premier defense firms. We learned from some of the best how to investigate, litigate and negotiate cases.
In 1994, we joined forces to represent individuals in severe injury and wrongful death claims and other types of litigation. Collectively, we've tried over 100 cases. Although most of our cases settle out of court, we prepare every case to be trial ready. That way our clients are assured of getting what is fair. Better preparation means better results. And our results speak for themselves: we've helped recover more than $50 million dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients.*
Rated Tops by our Peers
Linton & Hirshman is a boutique firm of innovative and respected trial attorneys.

And we received their highest rating available for our "professional standards of conduct, ethics, reliability and diligence."
Leaders in our Field
Our commitment to excellence goes beyond the courtroom. Bob Linton is a past President of the Cleveland Academy of Trial Attorneys, an association of 300 trial attorneys in northeastern Ohio. Toby Hirshman guided lawyers throughout the state as former head of the medical malpractice section for the Ohio Academy of Trial Attorneys, while also serving on its Board of Trustees.

Ellen Hirshman was appointed by the Ohio Supreme Court to sit on the Board of Commissioners on Grievance and Discipline, a select panel that decides cases alleging ethical misconduct against lawyers and judges. At Linton & Hirshman, we are also known for our cutting edge trial technology and techniques. We are frequently invited to speak at Supreme Court approved continuing legal education seminars to share our expertise with our colleagues.
Capable and Caring
We know that the most important person in any case is our client. And that's why we are so selective in the cases we undertake. We seek quality. Not quantity. As a result, we don't just take on cases, we take on causes. That way we can dedicate our resources to those who need us most.
Your case will be staffed by a team of legal professionals to give it the attention it deserves. Our legal assistants are experienced, responsive and empathetic. Our pledge: your concerns are our concerns. Your calls will be returned promptly, and your questions fully answered.
Some of our best referrals are not just from satisfied clients, but from our opposing counsel. This is the ultimate compliment. When those who know our work first-hand refer us future clients.
Whether you're a client looking for a lawyer, or a lawyer with a client looking for co-counsel, we can help. For a no-cost consultation, contact us by phone, or on our website. Let us help you recover, what is fair.
*Because no two cases are alike, past results cannot predict future outcomes.
