Matthew A. Mishak is a distinguished attorney located in Elyria, Ohio, known for his adept problem-solving skills in legal matters. He graduated summa cum laude from the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law in 2006, ranking in the top ten percent of his class. He began his career as an Assistant Lorain County Prosecutor under Dennis P. Will, where he represented numerous county entities, including the Lorain County Commissioners, Lorain County Job and Family Services, and Lorain County Children Services, among others.

After decades of dedicated service, Mishak advanced to the position of Chief Prosecutor for the City of Elyria. In this role, he distinguished himself by trying more jury cases than any other prosecutor in the city. During the opiate crisis, he collaborated with Judge Lisa Locke Graves to establish the first intervention in lieu of conviction program at the Elyria Municipal Court.

With over thirteen years of trial experience, Attorney Mishak is a formidable presence in the courtroom, whether before a judge or a jury. His expertise spans a wide range of legal areas, including OVI/DUI, domestic violence, assault, felonious assault, murder, juvenile delinquency, truancy, divorce, custody, and complex civil litigation. His reputation as a proficient negotiator and legal researcher is well-earned, having served as lead counsel in thousands of cases.
