Attorney Information
Overview
At the office of attorney Michael W. Sandwisch, in Port Clinton, Ohio, I provide effective representation and legal advice in litigation including divorce proceedings, personal injury / wrongful death cases, felony and misdemeanor criminal defense, real estate matters, estate planning matters, and civil litigation. Just around the corner from the Ottawa County courthouse, my office is conveniently located in Port Clinton.
I provide effective legal counsel that is highly personalized. I don't represent cases; I represent people. For a lawyer who provides creative solutions to help accomplish clients' goals, contact my Port Clinton office to schedule a consultation to discuss your legal needs.
I prepare every case as if trial were unavoidable, which arms my clients with significant leverage at every step of the way. This approach allows the most opportunity for settlement but I will take a case to trial if necessary. My representation doesn't stop at trial. I have successfully represented my clients on numerous occasions in the Sixth District Court of Appeals, and have argued cases before the Ohio Supreme Court.
If you need an attorney who will aggressively explore and pursue every legal avenue available on your behalf, contact me in Port Clinton as soon as possible.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
