Core Practice Areas & Professional Expertise

At Schroth Law LLC, Michael provides comprehensive legal services across four core practice areas: Estate Planning & Probate Law, Business Law, Real Estate Law, and Employment Law.

Estate Planning and Probate Law: Protecting legacy, preserving hard-earned assets, and providing security for loved ones requires deliberate planning and a deep understanding of Ohio probate law. Michael works closely with individuals and families to construct custom estate plans that reflect their unique goals, values, and family dynamics. His estate planning services encompass drafting last wills and testaments, establishing revocable and irrevocable trusts, creating durable financial powers of attorney, and formulating healthcare directives. Additionally, Michael guides executors, administrators, and beneficiaries through the legal probate and estate administration process, managing all procedural requirements, asset distributions, and potential disputes with efficiency, empathy, and professional integrity.

Business Law: As a sole practitioner who manages his own practice, Michael understands firsthand the operational, regulatory, and financial realities that business owners navigate daily. He serves as an essential strategic resource for entrepreneurs, startups, established small businesses, and commercial ventures throughout Ohio. His business law services include business entity formation (such as LLCs, corporations, and partnerships), contract negotiation, drafting, and review, commercial transactions, corporate governance, shareholder agreements, and risk management. When commercial disputes arise, Michael brings decisive representation to protect his clients' economic interests and commercial relationships.

Real Estate Law: Real estate assets—whether residential homes, multi-family units, or commercial spaces—represent significant investments. Michael assists buyers, sellers, landlords, developers, and property investors with all stages of real estate transactions and litigation. His work includes drafting and reviewing residential and commercial purchase agreements, negotiating commercial leases, clearing title defects, resolving boundary and zoning issues, and representing property owners in property tax valuation appeals. His thorough attention to detail ensures that transactions proceed smoothly and that potential liability is mitigated before closing.

Employment Law: The employer-employee relationship is governed by a complex web of state and federal regulations. Michael provides knowledgeable guidance and dispute resolution services to both employers and employees across Ohio. His practice handles matters involving employment contracts, severance agreements, non-compete and non-solicitation covenants, wage-and-hour claims, workplace discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination disputes. By emphasizing proactive compliance alongside strong advocacy, Michael helps clients prevent legal disputes where possible and resolve them decisively when they occur.

Deep Community Roots and Personal Commitment

Michael’s dedication to serving the people and organizations of Northeast Ohio is rooted in a lifelong connection to the region. A proud graduate of Westlake High School, Michael understands the history, values, and economic landscape of the local community.
