Biography

Anthony serves as outside counsel to local governments as they carry out their duties for their constituents and for private entities. He uses his wide range of personal and professional experiences to help his clients tactfully navigate diverse legal issues.

As a central–Ohio native, Anthony takes pride in serving Ohio cities, villages, and townships. He has a comprehensive litigation practice concerning public records lawsuits, nuisance-abatement actions, Chapter 2506 administrative appeals, equal-protection and due-process lawsuits, eminent domain actions, and numerous civil appeals before the Ohio state and federal courts. Anthony regularly drafts amicus briefs on behalf of municipal organizations in cases with far-reaching implications.

In addition to litigation support, Anthony also provides law-director services to various local governments for contract interpretation and negotiation, preparing public records responses, analyzing ethics concerns, preparing legislation, addressing immigration questions, and serving as legal counsel at various open meetings.

Additionally, Anthony has a strong background in labor and employment law. He has assisted public and private clients in discrimination and whistleblower disputes before the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as state and federal courts. He has assisted in labor-contract negotiations and disputes, labor arbitrations and fact-finding preparations, and strike-management efforts. He has also given advice and counsel on various state and federal laws relating to workforce management issues.

Before starting his career in the legal field, Anthony worked in restaurant, construction, retail, and client-services spaces. He enjoys making custom furniture and preparing creative meals for his family. Anthony also writes music for and serves with his church’s worship team.
