Hochman & Plunkett Co.

What Hochman & Plunkett Co. does

Hochman & Plunkett Co., L.P.A. is a private Ohio law firm founded in 1969 in Dayton, specializing in workers' compensation, personal injury, and Social Security Disability representation for individual consumers throughout southwestern and central Ohio. The firm operates five physical offices — Dayton (headquarters), Cincinnati, Springfield, Troy, and Columbus — with dedicated phone lines and walk-in consultation at each location, and maintains a combined attorney roster with more than 150 years of legal experience across co-founder Gary D. Plunkett and attorneys Shaun Omen, Amy L. Metcalfe, Donald K. Scott, and Kevin W. Attkisson, with Kevin W. Attkisson serving as Of Counsel.

The firm's core practice areas cover the full lifecycle of an injured-worker or accident-victim matter: workers' compensation claims handling, Ohio Industrial Commission appeals, VSSR awards, PPD benefits, lump-sum settlements, and third-party liability claims; personal injury matters including car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, slip-and-fall, dog bites, construction injuries, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death; and Social Security Disability applications and appeals. The firm emphasizes a specialized operational capability in workers' compensation — including a dedicated medical billing staff and sophisticated processing systems for Ohio BWC matters — that supports its litigation-centric positioning against administrative complexity.

The business model is contingency-fee for personal injury (clients pay only if the firm recovers), with free initial consultations across all practice areas as the primary client acquisition mechanism. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the firm's website (practice-area pages, video content, Google Reviews testimonials) and physical office visits, with marketing focused on testimonials and educational content rather than paid acquisition. The firm has grown by absorbing client bases from predecessor Ohio practices, notably E.S. Gallon and Associates and the Law Offices of Thomas Tootle. The firm has no disclosed technology platform, AI capabilities, funding, partnerships, or external ownership, and operates as an independent professional association.
