It’s always a pleasure when a gifted colleague is recognized, perhaps more so when they are called to public service. Comes word that Cincinnati attorney Matt Fellerhoff has been appointed by Ohio governor Strickland to the state trial bench. Congratulations, Matt!
While we lament his loss to the private bar (Matt has an enviable record in defending property owners in eminent domain cases), we know that the citizens of Ohio are gaining a judge who will render justice impartially and with a strong dose of common sense. We last worked with Matt presenting a session at February’s ALI-ABA eminent domain conference, “Winning Arguments in Challenging the Right toTake and Public Use.” We’re going to miss you, but wish you well on your new venture (and in the upcoming retention election)!
