CLEVELAND, Ohio – February 6, 2025 – Michael Shroge, a top trial lawyer known for his advocacy for victims of medical malpractice, high-stakes personal injury, and wrongful death claims, has joined DiCello Levitt’s nationally recognized Personal Injury Practice Group in Cleveland as a partner.
Shroge has dedicated his career to securing justice for individuals and families devastated by medical negligence and catastrophic injury.

Shroge joins on the heels of the firm opening its Las Vegas office—its eighth nationwide. DiCello Levitt has grown remarkably since its 2017 founding and now features nearly 100 attorneys from coast-to-coast.
Shroge earned his JD from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and his bachelor’s degree from Cleveland State University. He began his legal career at one of Ohio’s largest medical malpractice defense firms and later served as associate general counsel at the Cleveland Clinic.
