When medical mistakes change lives, my job is to help families find answers and fair compensation.

About Michael Shroge

Michael has dedicated his career to helping individuals and families devastated by medical negligence and catastrophic injury. With decades of experience, Michael is known for taking on powerful hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers that put profits over patient safety. He has built a reputation as a top trial lawyer who guides clients through complex medical malpractice, nursing home, personal injury, and wrongful death cases—always with compassion and determination.

Michael has secured significant victories for victims of medical negligence, including a nearly decade-long case that reached the Supreme Court of Ohio and a landmark win for a widow whose husband died after a hospital emergency department illegally refused to treat him. His cases have spanned birth injuries, medication errors, and emergency room failures that led to preventable tragedies.

Before focusing on representing victims, Michael worked on the defense side at one of Ohio’s largest medical malpractice firms and served as associate general counsel at the Cleveland Clinic. This unique background gives him valuable insight into how hospitals and insurers operate, helping him fight for fair compensation and justice for his clients.

Beyond the courtroom, Michael is a powerful advocate for patient rights in the Ohio Legislature, lobbying for laws that protect injured patients and ensure fair compensation. He has earned multiple Distinguished Service Awards from the Ohio Association for Justice and has been recognized as an Ohio Super Lawyer for over a decade. Michael also gives back to his community through local arts initiatives and youth sports programs.

We also provide information regarding your opt-out rights. Although this Policy is not intended to create a contract, we encourage you to read the entire Policy.

Information We Collect About You

We collect personal information about you from the following sources:

This website uses a widely trusted WordPress form plugin called Gravity Forms that gives you the opportunity to provide us your name, email address, and phone number. The Form also has the option to send us a free-text message, but please do not submit any confidential, proprietary, or sensitive personally identifiable information (for example, date of birth, Social Security Number; driver’s license number; or credit card, bank account, or other financial information) via this Form.

When submitting contact information to us (such as your name, employer, email address, and phone number), we will add that information to our contact list to enable us to send you information and materials in the future, even if unrelated to the original inquiry. If your contact information changes, or if you want to be removed from our contact list, please email us at help@rectifi.law.
