John Hobbs,

Help to Steady Your Life after an Injury on the Job

John Hobbs is a workers’ compensation attorney at Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal (HNB) in Ohio who helps workers injured on the job get benefits they need to stabilize their lives.

He helps people through multiple steps of the Ohio workers’ comp process: filing claims after work-related injuries, negotiating for maximum benefits with employers or the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, representing workers in hearings at the Ohio Industrial Commission, and representing clients in Common Pleas Courts throughout Ohio.

Before he became a workers’ comp attorney, John was a manager in the manufacturing industry who saw firsthand how demanding conditions can be for Ohio workers.

He also knows how injuries impact individuals and families. His sister suffered a catastrophic injury as an infant due to a medical error, resulting in lifelong medical needs.

His parents went through stress and financial strain from medical bills and missed work. An attorney helped his family secure care she needed, allowing them to focus on family life without worrying about expenses.

“I understand that a workplace injury can affect every aspect of a person’s life, and I strive to provide clear guidance, strong advocacy and dependable support,” John said. “My goal is to ensure clients can focus on recovery while I work to secure the benefits and care they need for a better future.”

He earned his law degree from the University of Dayton and joined the Ohio Bar in 2025.

“I was drawn to Horenstein, Nicholson, & Blumenthal because of its commitment to standing beside everyday Ohioans during some of the most difficult moments in their lives, defending the rights of working people, people with disabilities, and other individuals in need,” he said.

When he’s not at work, John plays guitar and piano, learns new musical instruments, studies the influence of musicians from Dayton on popular music and hip hop since the 1990s, and follows baseball, football and Formula 1 racing.
