A Family Law Firm Serving
Newark Since 1953
Scott Knisley founded Knisley Law in 1953 to represent injured Ohio workers who were being pushed around by employers and insurance companies. Seventy-three years later, his sons (Doug, Dan, and Dean) and his grandsons (Dylan and Kurt) continue that work. Still family-owned. Still focused on the same people.
Our Newark office on South Park Place serves clients across Licking County and central Ohio, from Muskingum County to Knox County to Perry County. We focus primarily on workers' compensation, but we also handle social security disability and personal injury cases for Newark-area families.
Many of our clients are injured workers, people with long-term disabilities, or accident victims recovering from surgery. Travel isn't always possible. We come to you when you can't come to us.
Clients are never case numbers here. They are neighbors, and we treat them like family.

How We Help Newark Families
Our Newark office handles three practice areas: workers' compensation, social security disability, and personal injury. Workers' compensation is our primary focus. It's why Scott Knisley founded the firm in 1953, and it's where most of our work happens today. Many clients need help with more than one area at the same time, and we handle all three under one roof.
Workers' Compensation
in Newark
Licking County workers have trusted Knisley Law with BWC claims since 1953. From initial filings through denied claim appeals, VSSR safety violations, and lump-sum settlement negotiations, we handle the full Ohio workers' comp process.
Social Security Disability
in Newark
Disabled and unable to return to work? We prepare SSDI and SSI applications, challenge denials, and represent Licking County claimants at ALJ hearings and federal court. Most disability cases are won on appeal—not the initial filing.
Personal Injury
in Newark
Injured in Newark, Heath, Granville, or anywhere in Licking County? Our personal injury team pursues car accident, premises liability, and wrongful death claims—with trial-tested experience when settlement negotiations fall short.
