Attorney Michael Germano of Willoughby, OH; ethical gnome

 

Unfortunately, the state of Ohio presented Michael Peter Germano with a law license in 1988 after he graduated from Ohio Northern University Law School.

 

It should be noted that Ohio Northern is ranked as the 171st best law school in the country out of 205 schools. In truth, Ohio Northern is dedicated to accepting students that are intellectually inept and therefore could not be considered by mainstream schools such as Ohio State, University of Cincinnati or Michigan State.

 

Mike is presently (ca. July 2017) employed in the following jobs.

  • Law Director and Prosecutor for the Village of Timberlake
  • Prosecutor for the City of Willoughby Hills
  • Prosecutor for the City of Kirtland
  • Assistant Law Director for the City of Willoughby
  • Assistant Law Director for the City of Willoughby Hills
  • Assistant Law Director for the City of Kirtland

During Mike’s tenure as Prosecutor, Solicitor of the Village of Timberlake, the Chief of Police David Phillips and his subordinate girlfriend Carrie Ann Murray were engaged in a scheme to obtain an excessive raise for the Chief without obtaining any governmental approval for the raise. Additionally, during Phillips’ tenure the monthly cost of fuel for the Timberlake Police Department increased from $800 to $2,200.

 

A Lake County grand jury found that over a one-year period of time that, Phillips and Murray stole property or services valued at $7,500 or more. Both Phillips and Murray were charged with two counts of third-degree felony theft in office. In addition, Phillips was charged with two third-degree felony counts of tampering with official records for knowingly falsifying, destroying, removing, concealing or altering government records.

 

As a direct consequence of actions taken by Deborah Hagedorn, at the time a resident of Timberlake, an investigation of Phillips and Murray and other government officials was undertaken by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Put simply, had it not been for Ms. Hagedorn’s persistence and courage, Phillips, et al. may well have gotten away with their serial thefts of government property and/or funds.

 

In a show of utter contempt for the effort to report the corruption involving the Village of Timberlake, various officials including Mr. Germano undertook to punish her for outing their friends and/or associates. Towards that end, Ms. Hagedorn was arrested on trumped up charges on at least three occasions. Fortunately for her, a jury, untainted by the biases of Mr. Germano and his comrades determined that the criminal charges lodged against her were in fact a sham when they found her not guilty.

 

It has been reported that Mike was a member of a group of public officials that went about attempting to coverup the corruption involving Sheriff Phillips and his girlfriend Murray.

 

In mid-2017, Mikey had the chutzpah to announce his candidacy for Willoughby Municipal Court judge. Luckily for the good folks of Willoughby they had the good sense to tell Mikey to take a hike when they elected his opponent Harry Field.

 

This electoral defeat assures the citizens in the Willoughby area that they will not be judged by someone that clearly lacks the judgment, intellectual acumen, and more importantly the ethics to hold such a position.

 

As we speak (ca. July 2017), Mike continues to be employed in the government positions aforementioned. In addition, Mike practices with Wiles and Richards at 37265 Euclid Avenue in Willoughby, Ohio.
