GUARDIANS OF SAFETY We Fight for Justice and Positive Change
In the heart of Cleveland, where iconic traffic guardians stand as symbols of protection, we draw inspiration for our role as guardians of safety. Just like these architectural pieces, we see ourselves as the last line of defense, shielding our community from the consequences of negligence, whether it be in health care policies, distracted driving, or nursing home neglect. That’s why, at Tittle & Perlmuter, we approach each case we handle with a deep sense of purpose, understanding that the outcomes we achieve extend far beyond the individual involved. We confront situations where policies and procedures are lacking, advocating for changes that ensure proper care and attention are given to those in need. We take pride in being the lightning rod that forces change in our community when others fall short. One of our guiding principles is to leverage every case to provide justice and bring about positive changes in society. Whether it’s nursing home malpractice or issues within school systems, we work toward settlements that mandate improvements, such as additional training and education. We believe in using our legal expertise to instigate positive transformations that benefit the entire community.
case with the intent to bring about positive societal changes. Of course, we strive to win every case we take on, but we also want those wins to prevent the same issue from happening to others in our community.
For example, I recall a case involving an apartment complex where our client, an individual with diabetic neuropathy, suffered a grievous injury due to inadequate safety measures with the water in his home. Thanks to our case, we successfully implemented legal changes that prevented similar incidents from occurring in the future. Beyond our legal duties, we strive to ensure our community understands the resources available to them. Whether it’s support for traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or other critical issues, we are committed to providing information and support to those in need, even if they’re not our clients.
So, in a world where some prioritize money over justice, we hold firm to the belief that doing things the right way leads to success. We challenge the notion that billion-dollar insurance industries dictate the narrative, understanding that it takes an individual firm with a different mindset to truly make a difference. At Tittle & Perlmuter, we are not just lawyers; we are guardians of safety, committed to shaping a safer and more just community for everyone.
“AT TITTLE & PERLMUTER, WE ARE NOT JUST LAWYERS; WE ARE GUARDIANS OF SAFETY, COMMITTED TO SHAPING A SAFER AND MORE JUST COMMUNITY FOR EVERYONE.”
And while some law firms focus solely on monetary gain, we take pride in the fact that we are not merely in one door and out the other. We handle every

A heartwarming story unfolded about an hour north of Traverse City, Michigan. It’s the tale of Scout, an adventurous dog whose journey from an abandoned stray to a beloved companion showcases the love our furry friends have for us. Scout’s story began as a frequent escapee from Antrim County Animal Control. Scout constantly “slipped the leash” and traveled to the same location after all his escapes: the Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility. Every time he escaped, Scout crossed a highway, jumped a 10-foot chain link fence and a 6-foot privacy fence, and slipped in the front door to sleep on his couch in the lobby. The nurses at Meadow Brook had to make a choice after Scout reappeared in their lobby for the third time. And after recognizing the patients wanted Scout around just as much as he wanted to be there, they happily took him in. After giving him a check-up, it was clear Scout had not lived the easiest life before finding his way to Meadow Brook. No one knows where he came Scout’s Heartwarming Tale FROM STRAY DOG TO NURSING HOME HERO
from before escaping animal control for the first time, what his original name was, or the exact abuse he suffered before finding his forever home. Scout flinches at loud sounds and has round pellets, likely buckshot or BBs, lodged in his face. But despite his past, Scout openly cares for and protects the residents of Meadow Brook. Scout now patrols Meadow Brook, visiting the residents as often as possible. Whenever someone is having a rough day, whether it’s because a friend forgot to visit or their health is acting up, Scout is there to ease their woes with a damp nose poking for affection and a doggy smile on his face. “He makes a good nursing home dog,” Stephanie Elsey, the facility’s clinical care coordinator, said. “He knows his job, and he’s good at what he does.” Scout’s journey from a shelter’s uncertainty to a beloved member of the Meadow Brook community is more than just a happy tale. It’s a reminder of life’s unexpected joys and the incredible, healing bond between humans and animals.

This peer recognition is a cornerstone of the awards as fellow attorneys nominate those they believe exemplify the highest standards of professional achievement and ethical conduct. This democratic approach is incredibly authentic
After this step, independent research delves into the candidates’ professional backgrounds, scrutinizing their accomplishments, case outcomes, and contributions to the legal field. This incredibly thorough examination ensures that Super Lawyers are well-regarded by their peers
