Robert J. Triozzi was appointed by Mayor Frank G. Jackson as the Director of Law for the City of Cleveland in January 2006.

Before joining the Jackson Administration, Triozzi served as a Judge on the Cleveland Municipal Court bench for 10 years. In addition to managing his daily caseload, he focused on exposing high-school students to legal careers through an annual Mock Trial competition. He partnered with colleagues for special dockets to handle truancy and domestic violence cases, as well as cases involving the mentally ill.

Triozzi is involved in a number of professional activities and maintains active memberships in many professional organizations. He has received the “Justice for All Award” from the Cleveland Bar Association, the “Vision Award” from the Domestic Violence Center, an award for “Outstanding Community Leadership” from the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, and a “Community Partnership Award” from A Cultural Exchange. Most recently, the National Association of Social Workers, Ohio Chapter Region III named him “Public Citizen of the Year.”

A graduate of Cornell University, Triozzi earned his law degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Law. He is also a graduate of the Leadership Ashtabula Class of 1994 and the Leadership Cleveland Class of 2003.

Formerly a resident of Cleveland’s Collinwood neighborhood, Triozzi, his wife Monica, and their family now call the Shaker Square neighborhood home.
