Defense of Design Professionals

Since 1946, McNeal, Schick, Archibald & Biro Co., L.P.A., in Cleveland, Ohio, has defended architects, engineers and other design professionals accused of malpractice and alleged negligence resulting in harm. At trial, we aim to aggressively protect your professional dignity and integrity from unfounded accusations. If going to trial would not be in your best interest, we aim to minimize the consequences by negotiating a fair settlement.

Our attorneys have been defending design professionals for more than 40 years, in all capacities, including professional liability issues. Unfortunately, whenever there is a problem with a building project or construction site, the architect or designer is often blamed. This is because architects may have oversight/supervision responsibilities. If you sign off on a plan that gets filed with the relevant authorities, even though in some cases you did not create the plan in question but were simply trying to facilitate the process when multiple designers and/or architects were involved in a project, you can be blamed when something goes wrong.
