of the Ohio judicial process. In 2018, Chesley's law firm, Waite Schneider Bayless and Chesley, solely owned by Chesley, agreed to pay $23.5 million to former clients, recognizing that there was "unjust enrichment" through the settlement money obtained for clients. This is separate from the legal obligation owed by Chesley himself for $42 million. The federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals criticized Chesley's "shell game", wherein he hid assets, sued the former clients and even sued a sheriff to avoid arrest after being found in contempt of court.
