Meet the Team

Daniel is the late founding partner of McKinney & Namei. When he and Firooz first teamed up, they had completely different practice areas — Daniel focusing on estate planning; Firooz specializing in immigration law. Over time, though, Daniel and Firooz shared and expanded their knowledge, paving the way for our firm to be a leading source of excellent legal service in Cincinnati.

David L. Dawson is an Associate Attorney at McKinney & Namei. His practice focuses on defending non-citizens in immigration court, family immigration, criminal defense, divorce, and litigation matters. A magna cum laude graduate of the University of Illinois College of Law, David was a member of the law review and represented clients as a student through the law school’s civil litigation clinic.

Carolyn A. Marks works primarily in our immigration and domestic relations practice areas. These areas include Asylum and Withholding of Removal, Cancellation of Removal, U- and T-Visas, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, and state custody cases. Carolyn is a 2008 graduate of Kent State University, majoring in French Translation and minoring in Women’s Studies. She attended Seton Hall University School of Law as a Distinguished Public Interest Scholar where she participated in the Immigrants’ Rights Clinic at the Center for Social Justice.

Tobias L. Eisenlohr focuses on civil litigation, criminal defense, and property rights cases. Prior to joining McKinney & Namei in 2019, he worked for municipal governments in Virginia and as a private attorney. He is at home in the courtroom, having managed hundreds of cases before over fifty jurisdictions in Virginia and Ohio. Tobias’ greatest area of interest is in private-public interactions, especially in the realm of zoning, land use planning, environmental permitting, and property rights. He also has a significant criminal defense background and prides himself on achieving positive results for his clients in the most difficult of situations.
