216-480-4620The Becker Law Firm was established in 1979 by attorney Mike Becker. As a plaintiff trial attorney, Mike fought for the victims of medical negligence for decades, gaining statewide and national recognition for his ability to achieve results in the most complex and challenging cases – those that other firms were afraid to take on. Mike is a member of the prestigious Inner Circle of Advocates, which is limited to the top 100 personal injury lawyers in the country and is the only active Ohio member. Under Mike’s leadership, The Becker Law Firm evolved into a powerhouse plaintiff firm.
Today, managing partner, Romney Cullers, leads the firm’s team of lawyers and medical professionals. Since joining the firm in 2014, Romney Cullers has, alone, recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for firm clients. In recent years, firm lawyers have obtained record verdicts and settlements, including the largest settlement in Ohio history for injuries to an individual plaintiff and the largest wrongful death verdict in Ohio Court of Claims history. Partners David Skall and David Oeschger, Jr. have successfully tried some of the most complex medical negligence cases any trial lawyer in Ohio has ever seen. Firm lawyers are experienced, have seen everything, and are ready for anything.

Baby Doe was delivered at ABC Hospital after a labor-related complication led to oxygen deprivation in the newborn. At trial, Mr. Becker proved that the hospital failed to follow its own protocol for an obstetrical emergency. Becker adjusted his presentation during trial to meet the concerns of the shadow jurors as they arose. The jury awarded $17,000,000.00 to Baby Doe and her parents. Because the hospital failed to make a good faith settlement offer before trial, Becker obtained an additional $8,500,000.00 in prejudgment interest. Baby Doe’s ultimate judgment is one of the largest medical malpractice verdicts in the history in the State of Ohio.

The baby was born with a severe brain hemorrhage which resulted in a permanent brain injury, cerebral palsy and cognitive disability.
