Stan Chesley, who rose from humble roots in Avondale to become one of the nation’s most powerful class-action lawyers, died Sunday after a long battle with dementia. He was 89.

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Chesley worked three jobs to put himself through the University of Cincinnati law school, according to his daughter, Lauren Chesley Miller.
