Stephen Imm

I am an attorney with Finney Law Firm which focuses on the needs of our commercial and individual clients in the areas of business formation and development, real estate and real estate title, taxation, estate planning and probate, labor and employment law, business and commercial litigation, public interest law, bankruptcy, property tax valuation, personal injury and wrongful death. My practice is concentrated in the area of Labor and Employment Law. I am an experienced trial lawyer who has conducted more than 60 jury trials in numerous State and Federal Courts. I have won several cases at the highest appellate levels that have helped to shape the current state of employment law and landlord/tenant law. In Sabo v. Schott, for instance, I successfully argued before the Ohio Supreme Court that employees in Ohio should not be subject to employment termination for giving truthful sworn testimony, even if their testimony is adverse to their employers. This ruling significantly expanded the “public policy” exception to Ohio’s employment-at-will doctrine. In CMHA v. Morgan, I successfully argued before the Ohio Supreme Court, vindicating the rights of Ohio property owners to promptly re-take possession of rental properties from tenants who had violated their rental agreements.
