Manley Burke A Legal Professional Association
Cincinnati Attorneys Representing Clients in Ohio and Nationally with Compassion and Integrity
At the Cincinnati law firm of Manley Burke, our team is committed to providing quality legal counsel. When you contact our office, you can expect:
Personal service. At Manley Burke, we do not rely on an extensive office staff to screen our calls. When you call us, you reach an actual attorney prepared to listen to your concerns and give you an honest and realistic assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of your case.
Compassionate support. We understand the strain a legal issue can place on you and your loved ones, so we work hard to ease that burden by acting as your tenacious advocate and providing steady, pragmatic legal counsel.
A strategic approach. Our goal is to put you in the best position possible considering your specific circumstances. We are committed to finding the right solution for your legal issue either through litigation or negotiation. We are adept in the areas of mediation, arbitration and alternate dispute resolution, and we use our skills to obtain the best possible results in your case.
Diligence. While our office atmosphere is relatively laid back we have an "open dog" policy, with three or four dogs in the office at any given time our commitment to your case is anything but casual. We analyze every detail before determining the best course of action.

Ohio Personal Injury Lawyers
It only takes a moment to change your life forever. A serious injury can have far-reaching consequences that may impact not only you, but your family as well. The painful repercussions may extend far beyond the physical to include the mental, emotional and financial well being of everyone in your family. Caring for yourself and your family, holding down a job, or enjoying life as you did before your accident may be difficult or even impossible.

Ohio Statute of Limitations
In Ohio, personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years for claims involving bodily harm. If the injured party is a minor, the suit must be filed within two years of the minor's 18th birthday, except in cases involving medical malpractice. Medical malpractice claims involving minors must be filed within four years of the act that caused the injury.
Much of Timothy M. Burke's practice is devoted to local government law and the government decision-making process. His background prepared him for that. He spent four years in Cincinnati City Hall as Legislative Assistant to then Council member Jerry Springer (yes, that Jerry Springer), served as Executive Director of Little Miami, Inc., a non-profit corporation dedicated to the preservation of the Little Miami River, a state and national scenic river, and twice served on the staff of Congressman Tom Luken. Today, 60% of his practice involves representing governmental entities, representing clients in front of governmental decision-making bodies, or litigation for or against governmental entities. He has served as Law Director for one of Cincinnati's suburbs, Lockland, for almost 30 years and has also served as Law Director for another suburb, the Village of Evendale for eight years. He has frequently served as Special Counsel to numerous other local governments and often is asked to speak on topics including municipal law, land use and zoning, eminent domain, civil rights and elections law. He has also served as Special Counsel to the Attorney General of Ohio.
Mr. Burke maintains an extensive national practice, representing fraternities and sororities.
