On March 1st, 2016 two century-old law firms combined to form Schneider Smeltz Spieth Bell LLP. The new firm brings together Schneider, Smeltz, Ranney & LaFond PLL and Spieth, Bell, McCurdy & Newell Co., L.P.A., which are two of Cleveland’s oldest and most well-regarded law firms. Both firms were founded in the mid-1800's and we are proud of our histories and longevity of providing forward-thinking and creative solutions to clients.
