introduction
In addition, Michael served on the Grievance Committee of the Akron Bar Association and the Unlicensed Practice of Law Committee. He successfully presented a case before the Board of Commissioners on the Unauthorized Practice of Law, resulting in a favorable ruling by the Ohio Supreme Court in Akron Bar Association v. Bojonell (2000), 88 Ohio St. 3d 154, 724 N.E.2d 401.
My Story: There is nothing like a good drama to grab Mike Saltzer's attention. Whether he is performing in local theater productions or arguing his case in a court of law, Mike enjoys the theatrics.
"I'm actually a frustrated doctor, but medical school wasn't an option because I can't stand the sight of blood," says Mike. "I enjoy reading medical reports and talking to doctors. That's why handling personal injury, medical malpractice and nursing home neglect cases have such great appeal to me."
A native Clevelander, Mike is a big hometown booster. "I learned to be tough in this city," he says. "We Clevelanders are always fighting against bullies who perceive us as the underdog. But I'm convinced this hard working town will turn around soon."
It is this fighting spirit that Mike brings to his practice as a trial lawyer at Seaman Garson LLC. "I'm doing my best 24/7 to help our clients win the settlements they deserve," he says. "I'm proud that I have earned their trust by being honest and fair. My father taught me if you practice integrity you'll always have a good night's sleep."
A family man, Mike is involved with his twin daughters' activities and is even a leader of their Indian Princess group. He has shared the stage with them in many musical theater productions.
But he has some big productions of his own right at home. "Our home is filled with two dogs, two cats, a hamster, twin girls and a wife," says Mike. "It's a lot of fun. All I need is a Brown's championship to make my life complete!"
