Edna Scheuer and Melanie Mackin launched Scheuer Mackin LLC in April of 2002. Their objective was to create Ohio's only statewide law firm committed to advising and representing employers in their workers' compensation and related interests. The firm's leadership and unique client relationships attracted other attorneys whose qualifications and dedication to their clients enhanced the firm's pre-eminent status among workers' compensation defense practices. In 2004, Scheuer Mackin chose to complement its breadth of service to include other employer-related expertise. It thus expanded into the areas of labor and employee relations law.
