I am very satisfied with the attorney services of Charles Kettlewell. I was to a called sua sponte hearing by the Character & Fitness Review Board. Mr. Kettlewell spotted all the issues and successfully advocated for me every step of the way.

Mr. Kettlewell represented me when a former employer filed a grievance I believed to be retaliatory in nature. I am confident that Mr. Kettlewell's diligence and strong working relationship with ODC secured the just and expeditious resolution in the matter and the best outcome for my situation (dismissal of the grievance and closure of the investigation). I would highly recommend his services to anyone who has to engage with the attorney disciplinary system in Ohio.

Mr. Kettlewell handled a C&F matter for me and I couldn't have asked for better representation. Extremely diligent, knowledgeable and a well prepared course of conduct my matter from start to finish. My only regret is that I didn't hire him sooner! I started with a different counsel that wasted a lot of my time and money. I highly recommend Mr. Kettlewell for an ethics - professional responsibility matter as he defused an extremely stressful situation with great time and attention to my file.

Explained everything lstep by step as we went forward with our adoptions. Made the process simple and stress free on our part. Answered every question. We could not ask for a better attorneys office. We have adopted before and never had the quality or comfort or reliability of service as we had with Galloway law. We hope to have 1 last adoption of a baby girl and I would use no one else.

Arianna did an amazing job helping me through this difficult process. She is great at communicating and keeping up on all the details. She was prepared and familiar with all aspects of my case.

I had an odd situation where I ended up with visitation/ custody issues with my ex who ended up being a sex offender. I went into court the first time and didn’t have an attorney and got taken advantage of. Arianna ended up being in the courtroom when this happened to me. I decided I needed an attorney so my boyfriend started looking into some and found Arianna online. I feel like it was meant to be for her to be in the courtroom to see what happened to me before we both even knew she would end up being my attorney. Arianna has done so much to get what I wanted accomplished in my case. She is hard working, compassionate and so easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Arianna to anyone! She’s amazing!!

I have worked with Lauren multiple times and will not hesitate to do so again if needed. She is incredibly smart and an excellent communicator. There is never doubt that she has my interests at the fore of her actions, and that she is consistently and assertively advocating for me. On top of all that, Lauren is kind, funny, and caring - exactly the person I want on my team. She will always have my highest recommendation.

Lauren Sabo was recommended to our family by another reputable attorney as someone who could address our needs for a difficult situation involving our child. As we started the process of working with Lauren, it became very apparent she was the perfect person for our family. Through a six week process that required research, investigation, and preparation for court, she did everything possible to get our family the best result we could have hoped for considering the circumstances. Lauren was reliable, accountable, and devoted to our cause as it felt like she was truly a part of our family support team. Her professionalism allowed her to develop a strong rapport with our school district so that she could obtain the needed information that we as parents could not gather on our own. This allowed the process to run much more smoothly and efficiently. We know that we have an attorney for life if we ever need similar counsel and support when it comes to educational law for our children. Highly recommended!

I’ve never left any reviews for any individual or business but for Lauren Sabo I will do because she is an excellent lawyer and a great adviser. She helped me throughout it all. She understood what I wanted and worked tirelessly to get me what I asked for. She believed in me and my ability to do great and she delivered everything that I asked of her. She was my advocate, and she was a great one too. She fought for me no matter how hard things got and she never gave up. She’s the best at what she does. She’s got great instincts and she’ll keep you informed and when you don’t understand something she’ll explain it to you step by step. I’m very happy with her service and I’m grateful to her.

Dennis Belli was referred to me during the most desperate humiliating time in my life. He seemed to care as much about my case as I did. Mr Belli is professional, caring and attentive. He was detailed and meticulous in his preparation to present my case. Mr Belli presented evidence to defend me that I didn't even know existed. Mr Belli is a genius in the courtroom. In the courtroom Mr Belli is a brilliant artist and his medium is his words. If my family or a loved ones should ever need legal representation there is no one else I would want by their side but Dennis Belli.

Let me just say I have had at least 10 attorneys for a multitude of matters. I know what it’s like for an attorney to just show up and charge hours but barely know your case. Attorney Nunez is exceptional she prepares exhibits to help create a successful outcome. She prepares and gets insight ahead of time and also a few days before hearings/trial and makes adequate time, so she is kept abreast to represent you fully. Did I mention her professionalism and poise? She worked on two cases for me and both ended up being success stories! All that I truly wish is their were more attorneys as passionate as her out there! She is worth every Penny if you hire her to represent you! :)

I had contacted dozens of lawyers to help me with my (contested adoption) case, they all had turned me down until I found Ryan Kuhn. From the very beginning you could tell Ryan and his assistant Jen are both very passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. One of the experts in our case said to me, "you either find a good lawyer who is a bad person, or a bad lawyer who is a good person, Ryan is the rare exception in that he is both." This is sooo true. He knew what was at stake and fought tooth and nail for my little family, working day and night for us. Words cannot explain how grateful I am to him and Jen for all they did for me. Without them I don't know where I would be, I truly believed finding them saved my life. He takes the cases that no one else will, and wins them. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!!! Him and Jen are both ANGELS.

Ryan and his assistant, Jen, were very understanding and compassionate but yet professional and reasonable as they helped me file for divorce from my husband of 30 plus years. One of the first things Ryan said to me was… “ I am more expensive than a counselor, so if you want to chat about things not directly pertaining to the case, I will steer you back on track….but I recommend it is healthy to go seek out a counselor to help you emotionally get through the divorce.” Right from the start he was very conscious of a budget and kept things moving that were important to the case. He reminded me that somethings could cost more in attorney fees than were worth proving. Where I wanted to achieve something based on the principle of it, he steered me back to the cost that would be sacrificed to get it.
The divorce was complicated by the fact that I had put my career on hold to be a stay-home-mom to several children, allowing my husband to advance his career with the federal government and have all the perks related to early retirement eligibility, federal employee health benefits (FEHB), a government pension and a generous government matching Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). Although I had the same college degrees, education level, previous federal employment, and had recently picked up non-federal employment, I did not have the number of years to be eligible similar benefits. I counted on Ryan to weed through the confusing government rules and regulations pertaining to government “Spouse Equity,” “Survivor Spouse Annuity,” and “Federal Employees Health Benefits.” When my husband was adamant that he did not want to provide for the Survivor Spouse Annuity, Ryan was able to appeal to him and his attorney to have it provided because of the long marriage. Whatever Ryan did not know, he found out. He also has access to professional paralegals (at rates less than his) who are experts at dividing government retirement and TSP accounts based on individual cases. Ryan leveraged their information and guidance in preparing the court orders for the retirement division and the TSP division. Ryan is highly knowledgeable of the government retirement-type issues and an expert in the preparation of court orders specific to government retirement plans.
Although there were no longer any minor children, my case was further complicated by many other things, to include stock being held for an elderly parent with the intention that it would be returned to her if needed for her health care, multiple bank accounts, brokerage accounts, credit cards, student loans for a couple children, pages of personal belongings, hotel points, airline points, hidden cash, hidden trips, hidden debt, an adult child still in college-tuition, a house mortgage, a timeshare, multiple cars, some of which belonged to children, a dog, healthcare, dental and vision for adult children under the age 26, and the desire to be able to obtain federal healthcare when needed for myself.
One of the best ways to describe Ryan is that he has the mind of a chess player. He was always thinking one move ahead, and the topic of alimony comes to mind here (pros and cons)…. You’ll have to ask him.
Did the divorce cost more than expected? … Absolutely! But I am the reason for this. I can be wordy (this is probably the longest review on his page) and my emails long, but Ryan patiently answered every question, reminding me along the way to trust him, and that my wordiness and multiple questions would cost me more. I did not care because he was providing me with information which gave me peace of mind. He also obtained something that three other attorneys told me could not be done (ask him!). He is excellent, worth every penny.
Lastly, it is not in my nature to write reviews. I have made this one exception because Ryan and his assistant, Jen, deserve kudos for a job well done. A sincere Thank You Ryan for accomplishing the near impossible. May your practice thrive!

I was referred to Mr Halabi by another attorney. Joe did a great job. Always returned my calls within hours.He helped me understand all my legal rights to ensure that I was being treated fairly.

Joe helped get my DWI reduced to a reckless operation. He was very helpful to help get the charge reduced to something a lot more desirable than a DWI. Thankful for Joe's help. Would surely use him again. He charged a fixed rate and stuck to that rate even when we had to go back to court multiple times. Would surely recommend to anyone in need of legal help.

My business partners and I were wrongly assessed on one of our properties by over 22%. Charles' firm was fast to action with our appeal and helped us along the entire way; collecting proper documents, providing advice/insight, and anything else that would help us in our case. Any questions along the way, he and his team were eager to answer; making the process so much easier than we ever imagined. After a quick turn around and submission, we won our appeal case with Charles. This 22% reduction in property taxes was a BIG win and couldn't have been done without Charles' help. We highly recommend working with him.

Having worked with multiple attorneys, only one has stood out above them all and that is Eleni. She provided options and laid out the pros and cons for each.

I was rear ended by a semi-truck on our way to vacation. The horror of watching this huge semi barreling up from behind us while stopped in traffic was terrifying to say the least. After calling several attorneys and leaving messages to call back Attorney Drakatos was the only one who returned my call in a timely manner. She set up an appointment right away and explained the process and what to expect. She kept me up to date as the process progressed. I felt totally confident in my decision to hire her and she did not fail me. I was happy with the compensation I received and would hire her again without question!

I was rear-ended at high speed which led to a life-changing personal injury and a totaled vehicle. The responsible party's insurance company was refusing to pay by medical bills or my property damage. Not only did Eleni take my case, she negotiated a very fair settlement. Throughout my case, she made sure to listen to my concerns and kept me apprised of what was (or wasn't) happening. I cannot speak highly enough of her. God forbid, should I need an attorney in the future, Eleni will be my first call.

I am writing this review to help people looking for a lawyer TO STOP! I was in trouble with a serious traffic offense, stood to lose everything I had. Colin was available to me 24/7. Even texted to just check in. Although there was a wait time with court appearances, he went in to stand up for me. I have serious anxiety. He told me he would take care of it and to stay home. Eventually, when my SENTENCE DAY came, again he went to bat and I was given a 50 dollar fine. Something that could have ruined my life forever was fixed by Colin. Forever indebted.

I had to take Colin's help for a speeding ticket. He was the one to pick my call when i started calling random lawyers from Google. When everyone else had voicemails, Colin was at work pretty early during the day. From very first call, till the final moment when he took care to dismiss my case - Colin was super nice, very cool, crisp & thoroughly professional. For every singe step in the process, he promptly sends acknowledgement mails & keeps us updated with everything that is happening with the case. I don't want to speed again. But I must say that I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer who gets the job done professionally!
Thank you so much for all your help Colin.

Greg Port helped my company win a suit after a much larger company decided not to pay their bills. He spent many hours in depositions and in the court room just to make sure that I would not be bullied by a larger corporation with large pockets. I would be shocked if anyone else would take on this case due to the small size of the suit. After hearing my story he was upset with the way I was treated. His percentage of the suit was terribly small compared to the amount of hours he put in both the court room and behind the scenes. We won the suit and he even took on the Appeal from the defendant. I will forever be grateful for his work on the case.

I've worked with 10+ lawyers over the course of building my business, and there aren't many that I can say I look forward to getting an email/call from, or that are a pleasure to work with.
Joseph is that lawyer. He's exceptionally knowledgeable, and helped us to navigate and resolve a very complex trademark case involving three different parties. This was after the tier-1 law firm we were using previously had failed to get us anywhere after 8 months and tens of thousands of dollars spent.
Joseph's recommendations are clear and well-founded, his prices are reasonable, and his experience is exceptional value for the cost. If you're looking for a trademark lawyer, I can't recommend him enough!

Joe and I met as adversaries. He was counsel for opposing. After a few conversations, it was apparent, he understood business and how to find resolution that both parties could live with.
His incredible ability to see and work outside the box allowed us to all come to a quick settlement whereas we all walked away winners.
Since then, I have made Joe my "go-to" attorney for my IP and trademark issues. He is knowledgeable, responsive and his fees are more than fair.
I would recommend Joe Dreitler to anyone in need of a trademark or defense of a trademark. His experience saved both his client and me a lot of money.

I have never had to deal with the stress of a DUI arrest, nor the stress of paying court and lawyer fees. A relative referred me to the Meranda Law firm and after I explained the details of my case my lawyer, Ed Itayim went to work. It was a long 6 month process where the case was continually rescheduled due to requested information not provided by the prosecutor. After all the needed information was provided, Mr. Itayim reviewed all the details with me and explained if we had a case or not...in my case, we had a case! He talked to me like a friend and handled my case like a professional. Not only did my case get dismissed due to the details provided by Mr. Itayim, the judge also expressed his discern about how and why I was pulled over by the arresting cop. I am completely satisfied about how my case was handled by Mr. Itayim, especially in the events of a DUI, in which is one of the hardest charges to have reduced, but he had it dismissed! I highly recommend Ed Itayim and the Meranda Law Firm to anyone looking to have a fair chance against any charges placed against them. Ed Itayim beat a DUI case in which a breathalyzer test was used and high result was into play and won based on his attention to detail and listening to the thoughts of his client. Excellent results from an outstanding attorney!

I think Denise Mirman is an excellent attorney. She was my attorney for 8 months this year. She came very highly recommended and with an excellent reputation. I know a number of people (including many people in the legal community) who know her, have worked with her in the past and came away with a positive experience. She understands the legal system, and directs her clients to the most reasonable path with the best promise of a good outcome. She doesn't candy-coat the process, but instead encourages her clients to adopt a practical common-sense approach to their situation. She was knowledgeable and easy to work with, yes, I would recommend her legal services to other people.

I recently went through the unfortunate experience of obtaining a divorce after 35 years of marriage. Needless to say, it was a difficult time for me. Denise was recommended to me by a friend. When I first met with Denise, she listened to my sad tale and advised me what options were available to me. I made the decision to follow through with the divorce and Denise took me on as her client. From the beginning, I felt complete confidence in Denise's knowledge and ability to make this process as straightforward as it could be. She guided me through the steps I needed to take to provide her with information about my situation and suggested some equitable terms that we could propose for a settlement. Given there were no dependent children involved in my case, and considering the duration of my marriage, Denise was cognizant of my wishes but also honest about any limitations that might exist given my employment status. I really appreciated her honesty and direct approach to finding the best resolution for my case. Denise's professionalism and support during this stressful time in my life gave me confidence that she was working for the best outcome possible. I'm very happy that Denise was recommended to me and am pleased with the results of my case.

My divorce was just final almost a year ago. It was a difficult situation with our business involved. Denise ALWAYS looked out for me. I would get intimidated - just plain scared - and she would "talk me off the cliff"! This happened many times. She was always available - even at night and on weekends. I don't want to think about what my situation would be had I not hired Denise! She would often say to me: "I'm not your mother" but this is what I advise. There were many difficult decisions to be made and I learned that "leaning" on her was my best option. She truly cared about me and my health. She wanted me to be happy. I'm not an attorney - I needed one - and I decided it was in my best interest to listen to her advice. I view Denise as a very intelligent, caring, and firm attorney.

Pete is an amazing attorney who helps clients understand the legal system and the value of their case. Mr. Friedman continually addressed my concerns, and fought for me all the way through trial. During the trial, he ensured the facts came to light! Thank you Pete for all you have done!

Pete Friedmann helped me with an unjust severance I received from my company when my position was eliminated. Pete was diligent in representing me from start to finish. His communication, research, thoroughness, and persistence went above and beyond my expectations. He was able to negotiate a very fair agreement for me in a very timely manner. He followed up with me after the case was settled and made sure I was satisfied with everything. Most importantly, Pete was very caring through this process during these unsettling times. I highly recommend Pete Friedmann and The Friedmann Firm for their exceptional and professional services.

I had the extreme pleasure of hiring and working with Pete Friedmann in regards to an unlawful termination suit I was directly involved in. The Friedmann group eagerly took my case when other firms waffled as they felt it was not a "slam dunk". After several weeks of careful consultation and a thorough review of all the facts, Pete appraised me of our strategy and kept me fully abreast throughout the entire negotiation process. My personal thoughts and opinion weighed heavily in the direction I wanted this to go and in the end, our efforts were rewarded with a settlement I was extremely pleased with. They handled everything and I was never even required to attend anything formal or otherwise.
I would highly recommend The Friedmann Firm for any potential suit involving areas of employment and labor.
