Truax Law Group

Your Newest Team Members

Our no-nonsense approach to law comes from our construction and business backgrounds. We’re built on a new standard—a solutions-based, communication-driven, client service firm for construction businesses and small businesses.

Our approach is strong in care and value, avoiding cookie-cutter strategies that won’t work for everyone. We’re here as an extension of your team, to be trusted advisors you can turn to for advice even beyond the legal aspects of your company.

Our Promise To You

Trust – Clarity – Reliability – Tenacity – Strategy

We spend a lot of time upfront getting to know you and your business because we want you to truly know we’re on your side. Those conversations help all of us get on the same page and figure out the most effective approach for any issue. We’re intentional about explaining the contracts you’re given, the claims process, how court is going to go, and other situations we might run into because we want you to be ahead of the curve. We always have your goals at the top of our minds.

Practice Areas

Providing elite legal services, trusted advice, and strategic guidance to the construction industry and small businesses throughout Northeast Ohio.

Construction Law

Providing counsel and representing contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, and owners through all project phases and claim disputes, managing and limiting risks, and taking matters to arbitration or trial when necessary.

Small Business Counsel

Your small business or nonprofit organization is a fundamental part of our community, so we back you up with business and real estate transactions as well as contract preparation and negotiation. We ensure compliance and manage risk. And when it comes time to talk about succession, we have a game plan.

Estates & Trusts

Estate planning and business succession plans aren’t always top of mind, so our team tries to uncomplicate the concepts and processes for you. We weigh your options and get all your paperwork in order so you can have peace of mind in whatever decisions you make.

Business Disputes

Representing businesses and owners in complex disputes and claims, including contract disputes and business tort claims, in order to avoid litigation, but when necessary, in court, arbitration, or mediation.

Strategic Advisory Services

Providing strategic counsel to align business goals with legal objectives and risk management, assisting with leadership and coaching management, and prioritizing organization, efficiency, and communication.

Mediation Services

When we’re not representing our own clients’ interests, we can help others resolve their disputes. We mediate claims and disputes to settle matters outside of court. We offer unbiased perspectives, finding compromises that take all the key facts and issues into account.
