John B. Schomer

A solid, experienced attorney for business disputes

I hired John Schomer at Krugliak, Wilkins, Griffiths & Dougherty to handle a breach of contract dispute for my small manufacturing company here in Stark County. With his 34 years of experience and his recognition in commercial litigation, I felt confident in his legal expertise from the outset. His analysis of our supplier contract was thorough, and his advice during settlement negotiations was strategically sound, ultimately leading to an acceptable resolution. However, my experience was a mixed bag. While the legal outcome was satisfactory, the process itself felt somewhat impersonal. Communication was not as proactive as I would have preferred; updates often required me to initiate contact, and responses to emails could take several business days. For a client in the midst of a stressful business conflict, this created some unnecessary anxiety. His deep knowledge of Ohio commercial law, honed since his graduation from Case Western in '91, is undeniable. He knows what he's doing in the courtroom and the negotiation room. Yet, the client service aspect—managing expectations and maintaining a steady flow of information—felt just adequate. If you need a competent litigator for a Canton-area business matter and can manage the communication cadence yourself, Mr. Schomer will handle the legal complexities effectively.
