Marc Dann, formerly of Liberty and a former Ohio attorney general, is rebranding his Cleveland law firm after completing a six-month law-license suspension sparked by the 2008 sexual-harassment scandal that prompted his resignation from state office.

The one-time Democratic state senator said Tuesday that Dann, Doberdruk & Harshman has been renamed The Dann Law Firm.

The foreclosure-focused firm simultaneously launched a new website.

Dann’s video message to prospective clients highlights his consumer advocacy and court victories as Ohio’s top lawyer.

It omits reference to the high-profile political fall that tarnished Democrats across Ohio or to Dann’s guilty plea on ethics charges.

The firm’s renaming comes as fellow scandal- scarred politicians Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer of New York are pursuing political comebacks. Dann has been barred from seeking public office until 2017.
