Phil Truax
Of Counsel
Servicing clients in: Northeast Ohio
A business or a family is often only as good as its community. So it’s important to us to be a reliable resource for all our communities, doing our part to offer support and guidance.
Specialities:
Elder Law
My best client experience came in an elder abuse case, in which an elderly man was taken advantage of physically and financially. We were able to get him safe, resolve the financial turmoil and alleviate the family’s strife. That experience also showed how much more can be done to help and protect seniors.
Why did you choose this type of law?
I enjoy helping people. First it was fighting for people, then it became helping them avoid the fight.
