Parma is located in Cuyahoga County and is the largest suburb of Cleveland, OH. Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, Parma was the butt of jokes by movie show hosts Ghoulardi, Hoolihan & Big Chuck, and The Ghoul due to its Polish make-up. Parma has been home to notable actors such as Alan Ruck and Drew Carey as well as oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller.

Recently, a Parma school board member was accused of taking bribes from a local construction company. J. Kevin Kelley, a Parma school board member, took $12,000 in bribes from Steve Pumper in exchange for a guaranteed $96,000 construction contract. Kelley pleaded guilty to conspiracy and bribery.

Cases of this matter will be filed in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. Federal cases in the area, however, must be filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The differences between these courts are significant and so it is important that your attorney knows which court to bring your case to.
