David G. Utley

Partner

Dave hails originally from Sebring, Ohio, but currently lives with his wife, Pamela and their two daughters, Ally and Andrea, in Medina, Ohio. An avid Ohio State Buckeye fan and frequently broken-hearted Cleveland sports fan, Dave is loyal and will always fight to the bitter end. You can often find him walking the Courthouse hallways muttering to himself on Monday mornings in the fall about a bad call or a blown play. Usually, by Wednesday he’ll have convinced himself that all is well and that “we’ll get ‘em this week.”

In Dave’s spare time, he also enjoys golf, shooting sports, hiking and canoeing.
