Very few cases make it to the Supreme Court of Ohio—and even fewer succeed. The Court accepts only a small percentage of discretionary appeals, focusing on matters of great public or constitutional importance, unsettled areas of law, or legal questions that affect the administration of justice statewide.
At Hilton Parker LLC, we know how much effort it takes to craft a compelling case for review. Attorney Jonathan Hilton externed for Justice Judith Lanziger during law school, giving him first-hand insight into how justices and their clerks evaluate jurisdictional memoranda and merits briefs behind the scenes. That experience informs our approach.
We assist plaintiffs’ attorneys, trial lawyers, and family lawyers with:
Strategic review of appellate records
Drafting memoranda in support of jurisdiction
Preparing merits briefs in accepted cases
Advising on amicus filings and public interest coordination
Our firm recently briefed and argued the case of In re L.E.S., a high-profile parental rights appeal involving same-sex parents, constitutional protections, and equal access to justice. We approached the case with sensitivity, urgency, and a clear focus on developing Ohio law in a forward-looking direction.
When the stakes are this high, every word matters. Whether you’re seeking review or opposing jurisdiction, Hilton Parker LLC brings the precision and judgment needed to navigate Supreme Court of Ohio litigation effectively.
