About Samuel M.
Samuel M. Schlein earned his J.D. from Capital University Law School in 2014 after completing a B.A. at the University of Pittsburgh in 2011. He moved from the classroom to the courtroom area of practice in Ohio, building on the legal foundation he established in law school. His academic record places him among the many who chose a traditional path to practice: undergraduate study followed by three years of legal training and bar preparation.
His professional career has been centered in Ohio. He is a lawyer at Marshall and Forman LLC, where he joined the firm after entering practice. At the firm he has worked on matters that align with his association memberships and the needs of clients in the region. His time at Marshall and Forman has included client counseling and courtroom work typical of a firm handling employment-related disputes and civil matters.
Schlein is a current member of the Ohio State Bar, the Columbus Bar Association, and the Ohio Employment Lawyers Association. Those memberships signal an active professional life in both the local and statewide legal communities. Membership in the Ohio State Bar confirms his standing in the state’s legal system, and his involvement with the Ohio Employment Lawyers Association links him to peers who handle workplace and labor issues.
Colleagues describe him as steady and methodical in managing cases and client expectations. He approaches cases in a structured way: assessing facts, advising clients on legal options, and pursuing resolution through negotiation or litigation when necessary. He draws on his academic background and professional memberships to stay current on developments in employment law and related fields.
Outside direct client work, Schlein’s professional associations provide access to continuing legal education and networking opportunities within Columbus and across Ohio. Those activities inform his practice and help him respond to changing statutes and case law. He maintains an active presence in the legal community while carrying a caseload at Marshall and Forman LLC. He currently concentrates his practice on employment law and related matters.
