introduction

For more than 20 years, a substantial part of Alan's practice has involved constitutional and other public law litigation, professional liability litigation, defamation litigation, employment litigation, business contract litigation, and insurance coverage opinions and litigation (governmental, professional, and business liability policies).

Alan practices in the federal and state courts of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Before joining Marshall Dennehey in 2003, he was a practicing litigation attorney in Cleveland, Ohio (1979-1981, 1983-2003), where, in addition to trial court litigation, he handled more than 25 appeals in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, the Ohio Supreme Court, and the Ohio Courts of Appeals. He was an editor at The Lawyers Cooperative Publishing Company in Rochester, New York, from 1981 to 1983, where he made substantial contributions to the publication Federal Procedure, Lawyers Edition.

  • Won defense verdict in a federal Fair Housing Act case against Ohio municipalities (affirmed on appeal).

  • Obtained summary judgment on the basis of res judicata in a federal lawsuit alleging that a Pennsylvania municipality and its council members violated a construction contractor's constitutional rights when the council decertified the contractor (affirmed on appeal).

  • The United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio granted Alan's motion to dismiss a First Amendment case brought by an adult cabaret dancer against an Ohio municipality.
