About Doug Knisley

Scott Knisley founded the Knisley Law Office in 1953. At the time, he shared office space in the LeVeque Tower with his father, Clarence Hugh Knisley, a former State Treasure and member of the Industrial Commission from 1939 to 1941.

Scott focused his practice on Workers’ Compensation, but also represented individuals in Personal Injury and Social Security Disability cases.

The practice grew and in 1980, Scott opened his first Dublin Road location where we have been the last 32 years. He was soon joined by his sons, “the 4 Ds” – Doug, Dan, Dean, and Dave. Scott passed away in 2009, and Dave left the firm soon after, but the firm continues to grow with the latest addition of Scott’s grandsons, Kurt and Dylan.

In of 2012, The Columbus Knisley Law Office moved to a new building closer to downtown and the Industrial Commission to better serve our clients. We re-located our Columbus Office to the current address at 1111 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio 43215. In 2017, The Knisley Law Office opened a new Chillicothe location at 49 North Paint Street, Chillicothe, Ohio.

In this exciting time, the Knisley family looks forward to continuing our relationship with you and the working people of Ohio. If we can be of service to you, your family or friends, please give us a call. Our phone number, as always, (614) 486-9503.
