Why do attorneys keep returning to me? Preparation.
Before any session, I thoroughly review every submission—demands, evidence, medicals, and timelines. I come ready to work. I know the case cold before we start and I discuss the critical disputed issues right away.
Diligence creates efficiency. Saves time. Builds confidence for everyone at the table.

Litigation can be adversarial. Mediation is a place for clarity, not combat.
My role is to reduce friction, guide productive conversations, and help parties feel safe enough to find common ground.
Whether working with plaintiff's counsel, defense, or claims professionals, I lead with respect, understanding, neutrality, and a genuine desire to resolve conflicts.

Learn what property owners are responsible for, what you must prove, and what steps to take after an injury.

As the year winds down, I’ve been reflecting on moments of gratitude—and one highlight was being honored with the 2025 Craig Spangenberg Lifetime Achievement Award from the Ohio Association for Justice.
While the recognition is humbling, it reinforces something I've always believed: dedication to justice and fairness isn't just a principle—it's a lifelong pursuit.
To my fellow attorneys: thank you for trusting me with your mediation work. I look forward to continuing to serve.

Rob Erney receives the 2025 Craig Spangenberg Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in trial advocacy, mediation, and service to Ohio’s justice system.

Mediations aren't always quick. Some take hours. Others need days of follow-up. But I never walk away when resolution is still possible.
If there's a path forward, I'll keep working until we find it. Tenacity is one of the most important tools in a mediator's toolkit.
After nearly 3,000 mediations, I still bring that persistence to every case.

A truck accident can change everything in seconds. The injuries are often severe, the bills pile up fast, and trucking insurance companies start calling before you’ve even had time to breathe.

This isn’t a regular car crash case, there are federal rules, multiple companies involved, and evidence that can disappear quickly.

If you’re dealing with a semi-truck accident in Ohio, this guide walks you through what to do next and how a lawyer can protect you.

Fair doesn't mean giving in. It means understanding. Listening. Clarifying. Exploring paths that feel just, not just convenient.
In every mediation, I strive to be a fair and respected voice that helps both sides feel heard and confident in the outcomes.
If fairness is as important to your clients as the final number, let's connect.

As a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, I know what it means to prepare for—and try—serious cases.
Now I bring that same confidence and preparation to the mediation room, helping attorneys and clients find resolution outside the courtroom.
Want a mediator who understands trial risk because he's lived it? I'd be honored to help.
