From 1991-1994, I was employed as an attorney at the law firm of Gibbs & Craze, L.P.A.. Our firm had offices in Northeastern Ohio, California and Florida. We represented clients or served as support counsel for other attorneys throughout the nation in a variety of matters in state and federal courts, at both the trial and appellate level, and in administrative matters.
