About

I was born in Cleveland, Ohio.  I attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, graduating in 1984. I went on to law school at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and received my law degree in 1987. The early part of my legal career was spent representing insurance carriers. After 13 years, I wanted to use my knowledge and experience to represent people who have been injured and families who have needlessly lost a loved one. I have been lead trial counsel in over 3,000 cases and had over 200 of these cases taken to a verdict. I have litigated cases involving civil rights, class action torts, medical malpractice and nursing home negligence and abuse cases. I have prepared in-depth analysis of amendments to statutes and regulations and projected their impact on legal strategies. I have created, trained and led successful litigation teams responsible for extremely complicated legal issues. I have also routinely developed and implemented proactive case strategies to prevail in highly challenging and contested legal battles. I am a certified mediator in the State of Ohio.I have been practicing law for over 25 years and have been involved in complex litigation for both Defendants and Plaintiffs. My specialty is Nursing Home Abuse. I have handled over 750 nursing home abuse & neglect cases.Like all the attorneys at Slater & Zurz LLP, I am focused on getting results for my clients while providing them with unparalleled service and sound guidance. I will respond to your questions promptly, provide you with complete explanations that are easy to understand and cover all options under the law. I will also thoroughly prepare and aggressively pursue your case to achieve the results you desire. By doing this, we will be able to effectively settle your case without the need for trial. In the event that a trial is necessary, I have extensive trial experience with a proven record of success. Over the course of my 25 year career, I have secured multi-million dollar settlements and received numerous jury verdicts in excess of $100,000.

My mother was gravely injured due to nursing home neglect. She died a few months after sustaining terrible burns while in their care. The family was distraught and turned to Slater & Zurz to help us discover the truth and find justice. Marty Delahunty brought the case to a very successful conclusion in binding arbitration. He was then relentless is pursing the corporate owners until they satisfied the judgment. We highly recommend Marty and the firm to anyone who is seeking justice and a fair conclusion to tragic circumstances. Sincerely, Michael L. Matolyak

I retained Marty for my dads' estate and for the neglect that caused his death at the nursing care facility. I've dealt with attorneys before and... found Marty to be just more then an attorney. Marty is a personable and compassionate attorney. He made my mom and I feel at ease, and that we didn't have to worry about anything. He and his staff worked hard for us to win our case and we won. I can't say enough about Marty. But one thing I can say " If you need a wonderful, hard fighting and smart attorney call Marty" Thanks Again Marty!!!

We came to Marty late in the game. A previous attorney had done nothing, and we only had one week left to file. We gave Marty all the paper-work, he went thru it it no time, and filed the suit against the nursing home for my Mom (deceased)

Mr. Delahunty , was a superb attorney to work with. I was contacted at every level or step that was being taken. He explained everything to me in detail. He went the extra mile! He investigated and read the reports . He informed me of things that were happening and that were going to happen. He briefed me on what to expect during each step of the way. I was always involved as part of the process, which truly surprised me.Everything was explained in great detail. He took time to listen to me and answered all of my questions.He was not only thorough but I would say aggressive where he needed to be and passionate when he needed to be. He is one of most professional individuals I have ever worked with. I would not hesitate to recommend or retain him again. I can not say enough about this GREAT attorney .Please do not hesitate to retain him as an attorney when you need one!
