Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy (NPHM) has served the needs of catastrophically injured clients in Ohio since 1928, and for the last 20 years throughout the United States. The Cleveland law firm is known for its success in cases involving medical malpractice, wrongful death, defective products, airplane crashes, railroad crossing collisions, unfair business practices, insurance and class action litigation.

The attorneys at NPHM pride themselves on their knowledge of the law, trial techniques and strategies, and the ability to attain positive outcomes in the appellate courts. Nurenberg, Paris is proud, too, of its team philosophy, in which each member of its staff—from lawyers to paralegals, legal assistants and administrative staff—plays an important role in client satisfaction.

“We are proud of having an 80-year legacy that has helped restore a measure of justice and dignity for hundreds of thousands of people,” says firm president David M. Paris. ”We care deeply about our clients and will continue to go beyond what is expected to achieve the results they deserve.”

This philosophy is borne out by the firm’s long record of multimillion-dollar settlements and verdicts throughout Ohio and across the nation, in class actions, construction accidents, aviation disasters and medical malpractice cases.
