About David Michalski

David Michalski is the founder of the Michalski Law Firm.  For more than two decades, David has  represented clients in business, employment and investment-related disputes in Ohio courts, the federal courts and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings.  He also regularly advises clients on the best practices to avoid lawsuits.   David has experience in almost every type of civil litigation representing both plaintiffs and defendants.  David represents large corporations, middle-market companies, family businesses and individuals.  He represents employers and employees.    He represents owners, contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers in construction cases.

David is always fully prepared to take his client’s case to trial, but he also advises clients on steps to obtain a successful resolution of their disputes short of trial.   David’s primary goal is complete client satisfaction in both the outcome and cost of any engagement.

Before forming the Michalski Law Firm, David spent nearly twenty years as a litigation attorney at one of downtown Cleveland’s largest and most-respected law firms, including almost ten years as a partner.  He has handled cases ranging from small municipal court actions to sophisticated business cases with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake – and he has done so with the same high degree of care, client communication and attention.
