Brian also handles disputes involving business transactions, business ownership, personal injury, construction (particularly mechanic's liens, lien enforcement, and general contractor and subcontractor issues), and environmental matters. In past practice, Brian represented amateur (high school and college age) and professional athletes in negotiating and enforcing player and endorsement contracts and has more recently pursued agent malpractice and professional liability claims for negligently negotiated agreements that damaged professional athletes and their earning potential.

Gayle is honored to have been selected by The National Trial Lawyers as one of the top 100 Civil Plaintiff attorneys in the United States.

She has handled every kind of injury case imaginable with outstanding results. Gayle will go to trial, and has done so many times for clients. Every attorney would prefer to settle cases, but if the other side is simply being unreasonable during settlement, then Gayle is as comfortable in the courtroom as she is in the boardroom. Gayle's advantage over an attorney that will not go to trial is that she forces the person responsible for your injury to be reasonable, or face a jury. Gayle believes in giving back to the community, where people value her commitment to the law and levelheaded judgment. Gayle taught the civil trial process as a part time professor at Lakeland Community College in Kirkland, Ohio. She taught Civil Law and Law Office Management and Procedures.
