HISTORY OF YOUR LAW DIRECTOR
I, David M. Grahn was born in 1955 in Defiance County, Ohio and currently
live with my family in Napoleon, Ohio. I chose to move to Napoleon, Ohio in 1993
after taking the position of Napoleon City Prosecutor due to a desire to become
part of the community. Prior to becoming employed with the City of Napoleon, I
served as a Deputy Sheriff in Defiance County, Ohio for 14 years obtaining the
position of Detective Sergeant where I was primarily responsible in handling
major crime investigation. In an effort to pursue my career as an attorney, I
became employed as an Assistant County Prosecutor for neighboring Paulding
County, Ohio where I served for 2 years, responsible for adult and juvenile
prosecution as well as acting as legal advisor to the Township and County
officials.
I graduated from Defiance High School in 1973; thereafter while employed
full-time, I attended and graduated from Defiance College with a bachelor degree
in Criminal Justice in 1980, and then attended and graduated from the University
of Toledo, College of Law with a juris doctor degree in the year 1989. I am
currently licensed to practice law in the courts of the State of Ohio as well as
in the Unites States Federal Court (Northern District). I am a member of the
Ohio State Bar Association, and the Ohio
Municipal Attorney's Association. I have been privileged to serve as an advisor
on the Governor's Task Force Stop Violence Against Women; also Chairman of the
Henry County Board of Elections.
