About Plakas Mannos

Founded in 1957

Since our founding in 1957, we continue to provide the highest level of expert counsel and aggressive representation to those we serve. We have built a law firm that will address your needs effectively by professionals who combine unparalleled courtroom experience with real world common sense.

It is our belief that clients are best served by a firm that has experience in successfully protecting clients’ rights, whether the clients are plaintiffs or defendants, individuals, or businesses. Our unique ability to successfully represent clients on both sides of significant legal disputes provides our clients a decisive advantage. With insight from the adversary’s perspective, our lawyers have the skill and experience to predict the actions of the opposition while implementing strategies to maximize our clients’ success.

Our uncommon representation yields extraordinary results. Our lawyers have obtained numerous record-setting, multimillion-dollar verdicts. We have defended and defeated monetary claims of catastrophic proportions. When major disputes arise, whether our client is an individual, a family-owned business, or multinational corporation, our firm devotes its unmatched experience and aggressively represents those we serve.

History

Our firm traces its beginnings to Downtown Canton in 1957, when George J. Tzangas opened his law office after graduation from the Washington & Lee University School of Law. Through tenacity and fearless devotion to his clients’ causes, he helped forge our firm’s reputation by successfully representing individuals and small businesses in their battles against adversaries with greater size and resources.

Many decades later, our firm remains devoted to providing aggressive representation and expert counsel to our clients. Now one of the largest law firms in Stark County, we continue to represent individuals and small businesses in significant legal disputes, in addition to large corporations that were first exposed to our firm as litigation adversaries. With clients that now range from small family-owned businesses to sophisticated, multi-billion dollar corporations, our aggressive advocacy and unique ability to strategically understand both sides of a legal dispute provides a distinct legal advantage to all of our clients.
