Story

Established in 1885, Roderick Linton Belfance LLP has built a rich tradition of providing legal services to a diverse group of clients. Whether a Fortune 500 company, a small local business, or individual, we stand ready to address the most challenging legal issues with innovative solutions.

In 1885, W. E. Slabaugh and Edward P. Otis began a law firm upon their graduation from the law school at the University of Cincinnati. Since then, that law firm, now known as Roderick Linton Belfance, LLP, has served Ohio with a tradition of excellence and integrity.

Over the years, the success of RLB can be traced to its attorneys, who have provided high quality representation to the firm's clients, consisting of individuals and businesses, whether large or small, in multiple areas of the law, including civil trial work, insurance defense, corporate law, bankruptcy, collections, family law and probate and estates.

In addition to serving its clients, the firm has also provided service to the Greater Akron Community. Partner, Francis Seiberling, practiced law, served as a U. S.
