The Honorable Kevin R. Barnes
33 YEARS, 7 MONTHS, AND 22 DAYS OF REMARKABLE SERVICE… AND STILL COUNTING
During Black History Month, we are encouraged to reflect on the giants of history, such as Martin Luther King and Thurgood Marshall, who profoundly shaped the world and served as inspiration for many. It is equally crucial to acknowledge the ripple effect of their inspiration and celebrate the individuals presently making significant strides in their own right. With three decades in the military alongside his legal career, Dayton’s own Administrative Law Judge of the United States Social Security Administration, Kevin R. Barnes, is such an individual who has exemplified commitment to service and dedication.

Spooky, Scary, Hal-LAW-ween Lawsuits
Did you know that Ohio has the highest number of haunted attractions in the United States? With over 140 attractions reported by The Scare Factor for the 2025 season, there are plenty of haunted houses, corn mazes, trails, and hayrides to enjoy. However, as with any thrill-based experience, accidents can occur. While a haunted house generally cannot be sued for being too scary, you may have grounds to seek compensation if you are injured on the premises due to a hazardous condition or unknown risk, whether it’s the result of an actor’s negligence, a faulty prop, or a slip and fall. It’s essential to know your rights.
