Larsen Medina, LLC has taken legal action against a group of companies and individuals over alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and contract violations. The complaint was filed on December 11, 2025, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against Echelon Senior Living Group, LLC and several associated entities and individuals. Larsen Medina claims that these defendants have engaged in improper financial dealings that violate their obligations to other stakeholders.
The lawsuit stems from a long-standing conflict between Larsen Medina and its partners in Echelon Senior Living Group (ESLG), where Larsen Medina holds a 20% ownership stake. According to the complaint, ESLG’s members have been involved in self-dealing transactions that were not properly authorized under Ohio law or the company’s operating agreements. These transactions allegedly benefited Richfield Healthcare Management Group, a company owned by one of the defendants, Jeff Risner. The plaintiff asserts that these actions have resulted in significant financial losses and legal expenses for Larsen Medina.
Larsen Medina is seeking several forms of relief from the court. They are asking for an inspection of records and an accounting to ensure transparency regarding the distribution of proceeds from a recent sale of ESLG’s assets. Additionally, they request a temporary restraining order to prevent any further distribution of funds until their claims are resolved. The plaintiff also seeks compensatory damages exceeding $75,000, disgorgement of profits gained through self-dealing transactions, restitution for unfair payments made to certain defendants, and punitive damages.
Representing Larsen Medina are attorneys David L. Firestine and Jeffrey T. Witschey from Witschey Witschey & Firestine Co., LPA. The case is presided over by an unnamed judge under Case ID 5:25-cv-02690.
