Overview

Michael F. Lyon, Esq., named to the Super Lawyers list since 2004, the Top 50 in Cincinnati and Top 100 in Ohio for the past 11 years, is a Diplomat of the American Board of Trial Advocates, Fellow of the International Society of Barristers, and past president of the Ohio chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates. Lyon was the first Ohio lawyer to attain the rank of Diplomat of the American Board of Trial Advocates, which requires a minimum of 100 jury trials.

Mr. Lyon has taken more than 220 medical malpractice trials to verdict in 15 different cities throughout Ohio and northern Kentucky and represented physicians in the Ohio District Court of Appeals and Supreme Court of Ohio more than 65 times.

Vollman, prides itself on helping physicians and their families navigate the trauma, stress and anxiety stemming from a medical malpractice case that goes to a jury trial. This combination of trial experience and personal support for physicians and their families has helped earn the fi rm its impressive 90+ percent success rate.
