Over several years, I’ve used Dennis for a number of legal matters (mostly civil issues) - sometimes simply when I needed legal advice and in other times to represent me. At all times he has been helpful, knowledgeable, professional and reliable. In actions involving strongly held differing views, he has been most interested in reaching equitable solutions rather than taking a prolonged, negative approach, yet he will also fight for what is justified for his clients.

I have been lucky enough to know Dennis Levin both personally and professionally for over 50 years. I have always admired his professionalism and knowledge of his field in law. That is why when I needed legal advice I hired his services. I trust him. He made himself available to me, educating and explaining to me about my options. In the end I was happy with the results. I give him high marks and I would feel very comfortable recommending him.

Dennis has handled several matters for me over the years including a civil lawsuit, a business matter and my divorce. He is extremely knowledgable; very patient; responded to me in a very timely matter and most importantly - was victorious in my favor each and every time! I can't say enough about how great he is to work with and I highly recommend him for all of your legal needs.

I am a fellow attorney in the community and have worked with Grant on numerous cases. Grant is a very caring individual and an extremely competent attorney. He takes time to evaluate cases and explains the law well to even prospective clients. His passion for helping those that are injured at the hand of another is really unmatched. He holds the rule breakers accountable and is as tough on his opponents and insurance companies as he is understanding of his own clients. I never hesitate to send clients to Grant. You really are in good hands with Grant.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for all of the hard work you put in on my daughter's case. Your level of professionalism and persistence was admirable and an absolute inspiration. You made us feel comfortable from the very beginning that everything was going to be alright, and that was precisely what we needed. You knew what needed to be done, and you went out and did it. Thank you again, and should any other legal issues arise you will definitely be the first person we call.

Ron was hired by our family in 2005 after the untimely death of our father. With assets in Florida and Ohio, and virtually no estate planning beyond a simple will, we needed a firm that we could trust to help my mother immediately and my brothers and sisters longer term to determine how to proceed with an estate plan. Ron and his team were very helpful to help us with practical advice and options. They educated each of us every step of the way on the ins and outs of estate and probate law and how to organize a trust for the estate. And with offices in both Florida and Ohio, they were able to help us meet each state's probate requirements. With Ron's expertise and experience, we were able to develop a plan we were well prepared for my mother's passing in 2008 and we as a family came together. In fact, ten years later, we are still all together due to how well Ron helped prepare us for an effective estate plan. Thanks Ron and your team!!

I can't say enough about how pleased I was with Meghan's help. It was truly a blessing that the first attorney I talked to decided she was not willing to represent me after I had already sent her over $1000. After being worried sick for almost two years about an upcoming DMV hearing it is all over and I received no punishment for the alleged violation. Meghan was one of the most trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring people I have ever delt with. I thought all hope was lost the way my luck was going but her expertise took care of everything. Any questions or concerns I had were immediately attended to and in a manner where I could tell she really wanted to help me and that she wasn't just going through the motions and simply doing her job. She went above and beyond everything I could have imagined. If you have any issues or problems with the DMV this is who you want to call, trust me. I could go on and on about how pleased I was with everything she did for me but it would take forever. I was lucky to find her and will be forever grateful. I owe her much more than very reasonable amount I paid her.

Meghan is an outstanding attorney. I have received several traffic violations in the past which could have led to my drivers license being suspended and possibly revoked. However, with Meghan's expertise and knowledge in NC DMV issues she was able to save my license and I still have my driving priviledges. I have been a client for several years any traffic violations I have received over the years have either been dismissed or greatly reduced due to Meghan's expertise. I highly recommend this attorney if your driving priviledges are at risk.

After a DMV hearing gone terribly wrong, my license was suspended for a year. My girlfriend and myself spoke with more than a dozen attorneys from all over the state, not one of them even wanted to touch my case. When I contacted Meghan she immediately took attention and said that I had a good argument in my favor. I was required to file an appeal to try to have my DMV hearing changed. Not only was Meghan able to get my license back, but was able to do it without ever having to go to an appeal and accomplished 10X more than I ever expected. She did it in a timely manner and also did not make me have to sell the house to pay her fees. She was very reasonable and seemed genuinely concerned about my situation. I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate what she did and what she was able to do. To make this even more impressive, she did all of this without us ever having to meet face to face. She was able to do all that she did via email and telephone which makes it even more impressive. Thank you Meghan, you are a light at the end of the tunnel. When I thought that all was lost and I thought that there was no way anything good would come of my situation, she did more than I could even imagine. If I ever have another issue with the DMV, she will be my first phone call. I would recommend her to anyone with any kind of situation having to do with the NCDMV. To say that dealing with the DMV is her specialty would be an understatement.

At first I was uncertain about how to proceed with my concerns. While working with Will Eadie, I became confident that his knowledge and expertise would lead to the best possible outcome.

I would like to thank Mr. William Eadie and his Staff for helping me for his dedication and help after a automobile crash. They were very patient with me through my trying times, and answered all my questions, I felt very comfortable with their decisions, and they always explained so I could understand. I would recommend Mr. William Eadie 110% and I thank you again for all you have done for me.

I was a client of Mr. Eadie. Ohio violated my civil rights so I needed courtroom and appeal work. My case was very complex yet Mr. Eadie was well prepared every time and fought hard to the end. A 2010 law shields Ohio's prosecutors from responsibility for their mistakes. Now when Ohio mistakenly ruins your life, its acts like a child leaving it's mess to be cleaned up by you.

Michael Ellis was my company's attorney for an M&A event in 2014. Two years later, I'm still struck by the quality of Michael's work. The man was consistently prompt, reliable, meticulous with the details, helpful in advice, and continually driving toward the goal lines. While other firms might have ultimately done the job (we interviewed four), I am pretty certain no one could have done it as well - or with less hassle to the client. A real standout.

We recently sold the majority assets of a company which we had for over 10 years.
We were very inexperienced in being part of a transaction of this magnitude.
Michael made us feel very comfortable and protected every step of the way.
We didn't have all our ducks in a row to execute this deal smoothly, but Michael followed up with whoever he needed to get things done.
Michael always made himself available whether it was nights, weekends, holidays, and even on vacation.
I will only use Michael as my attorney in the future and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing counsel.

I am an Indiana resident who needed to approach a medical malpractice attorney in regards to a potential case for my mother who is an Ohio resident. My company's corporate attorney recommended the Linton Law Firm and I am so grateful he did as Bob and his staff were exemplary in guiding, educating, and directing me to the steps that were necessary in order to proceed to litigation against a hospital and rehab facility that mistreated and harmed my mother. In six months time Bob spent hours with me on conference calls and his assistant Robin worked tirelessly with me in obtaining and documenting medical records all at no cost to my family. His insight was invaluable and I would recommend his services to anyone who is looking to hire a dedicated, personable, above board attorney who truly has compassion for individuals who have suffered for unnecessary reasons.

I highly recommend Mr. Robert Linton to anyone in need of an outstanding, top-rated attorney.
Robert Linton--Bob--as I and my family came to address him, soon became "like family" to us.
I confirm that Bob is a kind (and one-of-a kind), empathetic, honest attorney who dedicates not only himself, his team and legal assistant Robin, and all his resources to his client, but his passion for his craft.
Bob was totally invested in championing my case for justice and fair compensation, following an automotive crash, which caused me injury. Pre-existing medical conditions complicated my case, ones which I previously were able to balance and manage, now worsened, changing the trajectory of my life, robbing me of participating in those activities which I previously, fully enjoyed with my family.
Bob skillfully navigated the flawed legal system, to right the wrong carelessly committed against me, by a negligent driver.
Owing to Bob's solid character and resolve, he continually reaffirmed my confidence in his legal guidance throughout the legal proceedings.
Mr. Robert Linton--Bob--is truly a "real lawyer for real people."
I, and my entire family, will forever be grateful to him for advocating justice for me.
thank you Bob Linton.

Mr. Linton is an exceptional attorney. We sought his counsel and expertise when we were consumed with grief and the overwhelming circumstances that led to the loss of an amazing husband, father, physician and humanitarian.
Mr. Linton met with us to discuss our situation. His calm demeanor, compassion and respect for our loss, provided our family great solace and confidence, enabling us to entrust him with our journey and our desire to seek a just resolution.
Mr. Linton skillfully listened as we shared the painful details of our loss. With understanding and patience, Mr. Linton was able to sort through our grief and focus on the relevant issues that gave our case its merits. He continuously advised us on the status of our case and carefully explained the process as we moved forward.
He interviewed witnesses, took the testimonies of experts and diligently researched the circumstances that surrounded our case. But above all he made it his mission to come to know the person we lost through our stories and the stories of the people whose lives were touched and forever impacted.
Mr. Linton's skillful navigation of the intricacies of our case paired with his vast knowledge and experience, resulted in a just and rightful conclusion.
Mr. Linton is a kind, principled, generous and spirited advocate for those in need of expert counsel. We are forever blessed in knowing him and forever grateful to him.

He took the time to personally call me and discuss the issues with me. Unfortunately the result of the conversation made me understand that Ohio has screwed it's citizens by limiting damage awards. Not his fault, just corrupt politicians that were influenced by insurance companies and the doctors. Anyway, he has saved me a lot of time and wasted effort by being honest about the situation. Thanks Brian

I left my conversation with him disappointed in the misguided Ohio laws but impressed by him.

My experience with Irv Rosner is unmatchable. His determination, dedication, concern and professional approach extends throughout his entire staff.
I couldn't have asked for a better representation. My fears ended when Irv and his staff took over my case. Calls are always returned and questions always answered. "My" case became "our" case.

I have recommended Irv to others and definately would to anyone I hear that needs a Lawyer to help with Workers comp issues.. I had other Lawyer's previously for my workers comp claim prior to Irv and those only concerned with how much money they would make from it. they also did not keep me informed about my claim and could care a less about me and what I needed.. I was in a deep hole that this system put me in.. I could not get the medical treatment I needed to be able to move forward.. prior to Irv being hired I received minimal treatment. My claim was approved but not due to the other lawyers.. I was lucky and was sent to a IME named Ira Unger (yes I said lucky) at that time I had not had a lawyer. I went to my first IME and happened to ask this doctor (myself being naive) if I could have a copy of his report? I was told no it would go to my lawyer, which i then informed him " why? I dont have a lawyer. I only want to be fixed so I could go back to work" Dr. Unger then informed me I needed one to protect myself. I then returned home and started to make calls. As I called lawyers out of the phone book the moment I mentioned this particular doctor most of the lawyers told me they would not take on my claim because this doctor will say nothing was wrong with me, or when they found out the law firm handling employers side again NOOO. I did finally hire one who took it on.. My claim was not approved and was scheduled to go to a IC hearing, at the last minute my claim was approved due to Dr. Ungers report. So no hearing. Then no contact from this lawyer.. Yes my claim was approved but here I was, ( getting TTD but no real treatment) being told I should be grateful.. Things proceed when I finally hired a new lawyer.. I would go to my doctor whom would ask for different treatments and of course they was all denied. I went into my 2nd lawyers office and was told what was to be expected when attending an IC hearing..My spouse would take time off work to take me and we are sitting in the waiting area, awaiting MY lawyer.. And a very nice woman called my name, had no idea who she was, she had a piece of paper in her hand. we went into the hearing and it was like someone took a board and hit me upside my head.. This Lawyer had no info about my claim and had no idea anything.. Thank goodness for appeals because the firm that had sent her gave her none of the medical information I had given to them and I lost that hearing. Even prior to the ruling I started talking to others about lawyers and a Man I admired my entire life recommended IRV ROSNER.. I called and went in to see him. He did not take me on right away. I had to take care of loose ends with other lawyer first. Irv is a very caring man whom works very hard for Me and my needs.. Yes he may of been the 3rd lawyer I had to hire for my claim but well worth the fight to get there.. If my review helps even one other person from having to deal with the issues I had with other firms then it will be well worth it.. Irv also has a wonderful, personable staff.. I go into office as needed to make sure everything is up to date and go over any concerns He or I may have.. IN my case we have to fight for every scrap. I see doctors and they in turn ask for tests ect and nothing gets approval without needing to go to IC hearing. Since taking on my claim Irv has won approval for 3 spinal surgeries, a spinal cord stimulator implant, many MRI's , medications, as well as everything that many would think of as trivial such as just going to see a specialist, psychological treatment and TTD payments. But without these small wins the big ones would never of happened.. Irv has done so much for me, he is very knowledgable about the BEST doctors for situations, and always keeps in contact to make sure I am being taken care of or if I need anything. WITH IRV I never feel like I am alone in this.

Being a businesswoman is difficult enough and I've dealt with a number of attorneys as my business requires a lot of contract review and negotiation. I've been treated like a know-nothing, put off and ignored. Another client of Mr. Zavarella's introduced me to him. Here is a lawyer who is a FRIEND! Calls are returned promptly, he knows me and my business. Before we started he suggested that he come to my business and see what I do, asked me and my employees about the business. One afternoon I was sort of nervous about a meeting with one of my businesses larger clients and he even gave me his home phone "in case we had to count sheep together so you get some sleep"! Gino takes his clients seriously, respects what they know and makes people comfortable.

The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office filed appeal on my case. I had difficulty finding somebody willing to "take on" the prosecutor. I met Gino Zavarella and he didn't hand me off to a secretary or paralegal or inexperienced lawyer. I spent a lot of time with him (and expected my fees to be much, much more than they were and than others had quoted). He's the kind of guy - a regular guy - you can sit down and have a coffee or beer with and hears what you're saying. Not only was he willing to take on the County Prosecutor but I WAS 100% POSITIVE that we had WON THE CASE when we left the courtroom. The end result = 100% Win!

I genuinely felt like he cared about what I was going through and about doing what was right.

Chris represented my company in 2 successive jury trials spanning 3-1/2 years. The issues were complex - wrongful termination, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, stock redemption, etc. Chris and his litigation partner very quickly absorbed the voluminous issues in the complaints and focused in on the facts that would ultimately allow us to prevail on all claims. When taking depositions or cross examining an opponent, Chris is a relentless bulldog. I was very happy that Chris was representing us and not our opposition. He is a formidable opponent with sharply honed litigation skills.
