Class of 1957

  • Founder & Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer (Retired), Reminger Co., LPA

Dick Reminger founded the law firm of Reminger Co., L.P.A. in 1958. The firm he founded is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Since first opening its doors, Reminger has grown from one individual to a full-service firm employing several hundred attorneys, paralegals, and staff in fourteen offices across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. He was Reminger’s Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer until retiring in 1991. Reminger spent his entire career in the courtroom locally and nationally, specializing in the defense of civil matters before juries in a broad spectrum of liability lawsuits. As a successful lawyer, he was the recipient of Cleveland State University Law Alumni Association’s Alumnus of the Year Award in 1989 and is listed in both Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the World.

In 1988, the American Bar Association ranked the firm’s defense verdict in Audi, the alleged sudden unintended accelerator wrongful death case, as one of the five outstanding jury verdicts of the year — especially since the case was featured by CBS’s 60 Minutes prior to the trial. As such, the firm is ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a Top 10 firm in transportation law nationally and preeminent medical malpractice firm in Ohio.

Reminger served as President and Trustee of the Cleveland State University Law Alumni Association and is a Life Member. He has membership in many clubs, including the Bohemian Club in San Francisco, Hermit Club in Cleveland, and Mayfield Country Club of Cleveland, where he served as President of each. He was elected to membership as a representational oil painter in Oil Painters of America and Salmagundi Club of New York City and is also a signature member of the International Society of Marine Painters.

Reminger was a member of the Naval Air Corps Reserve during the Korean War. During his law studies, he was Personnel and Safety Director of Motor Express Inc. of Cleveland, a large common carrier serving many states. He was also co-founder of Cardinal Casualty Co. and served on many boards of directors, public and private. Reminger received his B.A. from Case Western Reserve University.
