About
David M. Paris is a senior partner at Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy, located in Cleveland, Ohio. He began his legal career as a law clerk while pursuing his degree at the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Over the past four decades, David has established himself as a formidable advocate in the legal community, having participated in more than 50 jury trials and representing thousands of injured victims, as well as over 700,000 consumers in impactful class action lawsuits. His remarkable track record includes securing more than 50 seven-figure and eight-figure settlements and verdicts, contributing to total recoveries exceeding $250 million. David's legal expertise spans several practice areas, including class actions, employment law, insurance, and personal injury. Throughout his career, he has championed cases that have significantly influenced consumer rights in Ohio. Noteworthy decisions include Baughman v. State Farm Mutual Insurance Co., which established critical criteria for the certification of consumer class actions, and Holeton v. Crouse Cartage Co., a landmark case that deemed Ohio’s workers’ compensation subrogation statute unconstitutional. His proficiency also extends to complex litigation involving wrongful death and catastrophic injuries across various circumstances, including defective products, medical negligence, construction site accidents, workplace incidents, and trucking accidents. Residing in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, David enjoys a fulfilling personal life with his wife of 36 years and their two daughters—one thriving as an Events Director in Manhattan's fashion industry and the other serving as a partner at Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy. Outside the courtroom, David is passionate about skiing, traveling, and cruising on his motorcycle. He lives by guiding principles that emphasize hard work, humility, and continuous learning, embodying the ethos of a true legal professional.
