Michelle J. Sheehan Elected Eighth District

CLEVELAND, OH – Reminger Co., LPA is proud to announce that Michelle J. Sheehan has been elected as Judge for the Eighth District Court of Appeals. Michelle begins her term January 2, 2019.

Michelle joined Reminger as a law clerk while attending Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. She became an Associate with the firm in 1993 and was promoted to Shareholder in 1999.

In addition to handling civil jury trials in state and federal court, she is certified as an 'Appellate Law Specialist' by the Ohio State Bar Association and routinely argued cases before the state and federal appellate benches.

"As a judge, I will work toward providing access to the courts for all litigants in an efficient and organized manner," said Sheehan. "I will use the skills that I have acquired through years of practice and provide a perspective of a seasoned lawyer who has appeared before many different state and federal appellate courts.”
