Wouldn't recommend, told me he would take my case, even if there was conflict of interest, claimed he would just not represent the other party anymore, then 3 weeks later calls me and says he won't take my case anymore. Convenient. Call someone else who won't screw you around. Excuse me? I was definitely told that when I had a consultation.... and just proves you didn't call me cause I don't even have vm set up on my phone. You are lying about both situations, I didn't just make it up!! Clearly you are not good attorneys! I'm completely mind blown

Jacob was recommended to me by the Columbus Bar Association. I used him at his previous firm and, after he was hired by his current firm, I was able to locate him again by searching the Internet. He helped me with an eviction of a family member. Jacob has wonderful "bedside manner". He is compassionate and he listens. As I was going through the case, he fully explained things to me, not telling me what to do, but making recommendations. He explained what could happen in each situation. He understands the law and explains it. The process took almost 4 months and Jacob was with me the whole way. If I ever need an attorney again (which I hope I don't), Jacob is who I will call. Definitely 5 star!

I chose Cicero Law Firm LLC because I started a small business. I was pleased with the outcome of Mark's work so we asked him to update our will. It is refreshing to work with such bright, young, staff. The Cicero law firm goes above and beyond making you feel at home with a sense of family. They even have the family pet who meanders around the office to make sure all is well! Mark is a dedicated, hardworking young man. Jen and staff are the perfect compliment to the firm.

Mr. Burdge and his staff was excellent to work with. Very empathetic to my personal situation and attentive to every detail. I worked with Melanie and Mr. Burdge. Once Mr. Burdge came in he kenw exactly where I was at with the law, explained what needed to be done, we did it and got the desired result in little time. He took the time to ask me what I wanted to happen and other questions you might feel like should be asked. I would recommend Mr. Burdge second to none. Excellent attorney.

Mr Lavin and Christie Doss were instrumental in helping my mother work through the complicated process of obtaining Medicaid. We definitely could not have done it anywhere as quickly as they did and the money we saved more than made up for the expense.

10 Apr, 2017 by Melissa

Mr. Lavin and his staff worked with my family to get Medicaid benefits, and drafted all necessary legal documents for my Aunt. We are grateful for the hard work and organizational skills of the entire Lavin Law Group. Mr. Lavin’s knowledge and experience is evident. We had the pleasure of working with Wes Hensley, who did an amazing job at keeping us on track and getting us through the Medicaid process for my Aunt. We would certainly use this firm again and will refer family and friends in the future.

01 Mar, 2017 by Patty

Mr. Lavin has not only worked with my husband and I to put together a family trust but about four years ago he helped us with the finances of Grandma. The Lavin Law Group treats clients with utmost care and strives to give professional and productive options to family concerns. Wes Hensley, as Director of Operations and Public Relations, at the firm, makes sure from start to finish that your experience is a smooth one. It was important to my husband and I to have a legal expert in the area of Elder Law. Chris Lavin is thoughtful and a wonderful listener. He is a man and a lawyer that you can trust with your most sensitive family information. It is a pleasure to recommend Christopher Lavin to you.

Eric Long is an outstanding attorney. Had the pleasure of working this past Fall and he knocked it out of the park. Very approachable, works thru all of the details, and professional with all of the details. Nothing is overlooked and I feel bad for those who sitting across the table from him on the other end of the legal argument.

23 Jan, 2021 by Shirley

I consulted with, and hired Eric Long to defend a tort claim (defamation) filed against my son. Eric was patient and professional throughout the course of this claim. He was also kind which helps when you are going through huge anxiety attacks because of what appeared to me to be a hostile and unfounded claim. He settled the claim and closed the whole thing down in a very satisfactory manner.

29 Dec, 2020 by Austin

Eric Long assisted myself and two other students in a student affairs case with my university. Myself and two other close friends who attend the same university were accused of breaking a COVID-19 safety agreement. Eric was always within reach over the phone during the case and was always very quick to find answers for any questions we had. Eric put my mind at ease in a time when I was very frustrated and panicked. The work that Eric put in and the truth that he was able to find was very successful in dropping all accusations and allegations that were mounted against myself and other students in the eyes of the university officials conducting the investigation.

14 Jun, 2021 by John & karen

Our experience with Attorney Beth Wells and her team was excellent. They displayed great customer service, knowledge and professionalism. Responses to emails and phone calls were very timely. Beth explained everything in detail so we knew what to expect. She gave our case all the time and attention that was needed to successfully settle out of court. She was a calming and confident presence during a very difficult and lengthy process. Her low-key and empathic demeanor offered support at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of satisfactorily settling seemed next to impossible. Many thanks Beth and your team for all you did! John & Karen

Elizabeth is an excellent attorney. It's amazing 'how' knowledgeable she is about all aspects of a case. Explains things in a down to earth manner.

I had a free phone consultation regarding my older uncle's home going into foreclosure. Ms Smith was very patient, genuinely concerned, and compassionate.

She was great!! I would recommend using her for any legal matters.

My case was with a major credit collection agency. At first I thought that I could take the case myself to court, but I can say that it was not the best decision at all. After leaving the first court hearing, I did a google search and found this website. My decision to hire Michael Fine was do to the great reviews. The results were extraordinary, he was able to get a great deal and the case dismissed. I did not expect such an amazing deal to this case, but it was all done in a matter of a few weeks, with no reason to show up in court even once or at his office for that matter. Trustworthy and professional are the two adjectives that best describe Michael Fine. Thank you again for everything Michael.

02 Apr, 2015 by Sandra

Mr. Fine really believes in the concept of justice for the maligned. A debt collection agency knew they were breaking the law when they served me but still tried to collect on a deceptively high amount. They would not back down but neither did Mr. Fine. He filed suit in federal court and got me the maximum allowed.

23 Sep, 2013 by John

Where other attorneys wouldn't even listen Michael not only listened but had the debt collector settle with me in my case (yes pay me) and drop their suit and erase the debt from my credit report due to all of their mistakes and lack of legitimate back up. If you are being taken to court on a debt whether you think you owe or not call him immeadiately!!!!!

Katherine Wolfe is an exceptional attorney. I have recommended her to friends and I highly recommend her to you, reader, for any representation you may need. Katherine’s professionalism and commitment to your best interests are quite apparent in her timeliness to solve matters, her frequency of communication, her commanding skills in negotiating and her ability to explain the legal process as it pertains to your matters. Of course, she has an outstanding team of colleagues that together, make up a superb legal team. If I have to choose an attorney to represent me again, it will definitely be Katherine. What a great asset to the firm!

Very happy with my experience utilizing Katherine's abilities for my issues. She works very hard, is incredible with communication compared to other attorney's I have dealt with. I was always able to reach out and go over information with Katherine, and that made me feel comfortable as a client.

I was injured in an accident and didn't have any insurance information from the other person involved. I filed a police report and Dennis was able to obtain a video of the accident I was injured in, which I would not have had access to, that supported my claim. He kept me informed throughout the process and gave me the confidence that he was truly working for my best interest not just for his fee. My case was at the same time that my father started having sever health problems and past away, Dennis and his staff were caring and I knew that the case was being taken care of and I could concentrate on the needs of my parents. My husband and I realized that the law is not our strong suit and that hiring Dennis was a great decision.

11 Jan, 2019 by Cathy

Dennis Yacobozzi was personable, genuine, and took the time to actually listen. He mentioned following-up with referrals since it was not his area of practice. His office promptly followed-up with the referrals. In my opinion, this office has more than great ratings. I also "heard" an attorney that will "genuinely" care about his clients which is a rare combination.

25 Oct, 2016 by James

Dennis handled my personal injury claim against a big hotel name and was very professional throughout. He always kept me informed as to what was happening and what to expect. Dennis successfully got me a mediation settlement that was acceptable by me. I would highly recommend Dennis in similar cases.

I had the privilege of working with Paul Croushore on a recent legal matter, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with his expertise and strategic approach. Paul's brilliant legal strategy was pivotal in getting our case dismissed, leading to a successful outcome in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Paul represented us in a complex copyright infringement case brought against us by Growella, Inc., a mortgage company based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growella, represented by John Bennett from Frost Brown Todd, alleged that we, Phillip Ganz and other defendants, had infringed on their copyrighted content related to the home buying and mortgage process. Despite the plaintiff's strong representation, Paul immediately recognized the critical issue of personal jurisdiction and strategically focused on this point. Paul filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, meticulously arguing that Growella's claims did not meet the required legal standards to establish jurisdiction in Ohio. His arguments were clear, compelling, and backed by a deep understanding of the relevant legal principles. He expertly navigated the complexities of both the Zippo test and the Effects test, demonstrating that Growella had failed to show that our actions were purposefully directed at Ohio residents or that our website targeted Ohio more than any other state【6†source】. Judge Matthew W. McFarland agreed with us in every respect, dismissing the lawsuit by Growella. Paul argued that, based on case law, transfer or dismissal was the appropriate course of action. While he acknowledged that transfer could be considered if deemed appropriate, he did not request it. Moreover, Bennett opposed the transfer, so the judge dismissed the case outright. This decision was a complete victory, as the judge agreed with Paul on every facet of the argument. Thanks to Paul's efforts, Growella, Inc.'s complaint was dismissed without prejudice, and the case was terminated from the court's docket【5†source】【6†source】. Attached is a copy of the judge’s decision. This victory over Growella, Inc. and their counsel, John Bennett of Frost Brown Todd, is a direct result of Paul's legal acumen, thorough preparation, and strategic foresight. His ability to anticipate the opposition's arguments and counter them effectively was invaluable. Throughout the process, Paul kept us informed and confident in our legal standing. I highly recommend Paul Croushore, JD, LLM, to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. His dedication, expertise, and strategic brilliance are truly unmatched.

28 Oct, 2021 by Roper, j.m.

Dear Reader, I was humbled when Dr. Croushore accepted my case. Please allow me to explain. I believe that many would have looked down me, not accepted my case, Or charged me Over Abundantly in attorney’s fees simply on, prima facie (at first glance), due to the nature of my convictions without hearing the full details. Dr. Croushore, however, impartially heard my pleas for assistance, looked beyond the superficial elements of my case and represented me in an extraordinary fashion. It was a rare privilege to have Dr. Croushore represent me as an advocate of Justice for Humanity. My family and I thank Dr. Croushore for his extraordinary efforts, tenacity for details and fortitude to stand up for what is right. Respectfully, J.Roper

07 May, 2020 by Melissa

I hired Paul to help me with an appeal. His ability to very quickly grasp a complicated case that had already been going on for years was amazing and reassuring. I am not a fan of lawyers after what happened to me and Paul helped restore my faith in the legal profession.

I was introduced to Michael over three years ago when he took over a large portion of my whistleblower retaliation case against a large municipality. He has held a dual role in dealing with OSHA matters, as well as the Federal case. He has an amazing propensity to filter through an extraordinary amount of material and pick out all that is relevant. At times, I have told others, I speak to him more than I do my wife. He has kept me abreast of all the developments in both cases and, along with his team, has made amazing recommendations which have resulted in very positive outcomes. Michael also takes a personal interest in his clients and realizes the emotional strain this has on a person. There are times he has called just to see how I’m holding up. His concern has been greatly appreciated. Over the years, I’ve come to regard him as a great friend as well as a brilliant attorney. I cannot say enough about the amount of time and energy he has spent to deliver justice to my case. I don’t believe you will find an attorney anywhere with the level of dedication of Michael and his team.

Michael Halberstam carefully listened to me as he put together strong arguments for my unjust termination case. He was amazing at conceptualizing my case. His approach was very professional and very supportive. He showed kindness, empathy and respect during the process. Mr. Halberstam was relentless in pursuing the facts. He is a powerful legal writer. He was an extremely strong advocate every step of the way. It was empowering the way he told my story with the full force of the law behind it, ultimately winning a settlement.

Michael was extremely helpful to me in navigating my severance package when I was terminated from my employment. I was overwhelmed with many feelings over the termination. Michael was instrumental assisting me both professionally and personally. Professionally he clearly explained that I had the right to negotiate with my former employer the severance package they gave me. He also shared with me his personal experience with a similar issue that happened to him. He negotiated all the negative verbiage out of the severance document that would have hindered me in future employment in my profession. he also was successful in extending my severance package for an additional 4 weeks. Being able to talk to someone who had a similar experience was by far the most helpful. Michael helped me get my head on straight and got me going in the right direction in seeking future employment. Thanks Again to a great Lawyer and a great person.

Meyer Wilson is a great securities law firm! They were professional, caring and very helpful.

He kept us updated and was always warm and encouraging while being realistic about our situation.

I think this is the first time I have used a law firm to resolve issues with regard to what I felt was a serious and breach of trust and negative performance from a financial manager. From the moment I contacted MeyerWilson, I was always treated with what felt like genuine respect and real interest in my situation. I had some changes of personnel during it all, but the new people were equally respectful and competent which made everything feel seamless. Being my first time to work with a law firm on this type of issue I was constantly surprises at both the competence, skills, respect, thoroughness, and the pleasant ease the experience was. I highly recommend both the firm and their unusually qualified and helpful people working there.

I consulted with Doug mid-court action. While I have no complaint about my previous attorney, I really appreciated Doug's ability to explain the issues at hand. It was so refreshing, comforting and he definitely went beyond my expectations in terms of effort. The court action I was involved in was stressful several unexpected roadblocks to winning. While he wasn't magic and couldn't erase those, he did provide a great analysis of their weaknesses so I was able to get a decent settlement. He would definitely be my first choice if I ever need future representation!

He is extremely knowledgeable, doesn't sugarcoat anything and is very open, honest and diligent. Parking at his office is not a problem, which is rare in Columbus.

Michael was easy to work with and always responded promptly to all of my calls and answered all of my questions. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. I found him to be patient and truly concerned about my case. I would highly recommend him.

Attorney Mike Elliott represented us in a legal situation that was stressful for our family. Throughout this experience, he was calm and patient in explaining legal procedures and terminology. His outlook and prediction of the outcome of our case was very positive (in the end he was right!). His positive, caring and professional demeanor helped us survive this experience. Attorney Elliott was always prompt in returning our phone calls or emails, and handled all matters in a very timely and sensitive manner. We would highly recommend him to our acquaintances, friends, and family who might need an honest, dependable, and highly qualified professional to represent them in the legal areas that he specializes in. Hopefully, we won't ever need another attorney, but if we do, we will definitely contact him again.

Rarely do you find a professional who has the intellect for challenging cirucumstances, and the ability to communicate in a fashion which delivers results. Matt has helped me with Estate Planning, Civil issues, Business Consulting, Business Formation, Mergers, Contract Negotiations, and others. He has given me excellent advice, and actionable ideas on how to make certain positive results are repeated, and negative ones are not duplicated.

Matthew Heinle is an exceptional resource for all the changes in healthcare law as it relates to hospitals and doctors. He is not only an expert but a good listener, provides timely options and support in strategy and contracting. He is very efficient, positive and helps to create "win-win" outcomes. I wish to highly recommend him for any legal services needed.

Matt is a superior lawyer. I have seen Matt manage a team of lawyers in a highly complex, high stakes matter, with many strategic issues to consider. He transcends the role of legal advisor, and takes full responsibility and ownerhsip for the client's interests. Matt possesses the skill and dedication to drive both himself and the team he's working with to the necessary result. All this, and he's a lot of fun to work with, too.

Spoke with Claudia Brown and was given easy to understand legal advice. She was professional and reassuring. Do not hesitate to call. Thank you for your help.

Dragged his timeline a few times.Other than that Dan had his hands full with my dad's case and carried out his mission. Had no other lawyer to compare cost of service with. Has a personal Coordinator that works with him (Kathy Cline) that I cannot say enough about. Returns calls and goes beyond her service to listen and make sure to get answers for you.

George Aljoe in the Seink office was a big help in our Ohio Medicaid reapplication process. George helped us with the details that were required, and he understood the Stark County JFS process and people who were involved. He also helped us over a year ago with the QIT Miller Trust Fund, now required by Ohio Medicaid. Good job, George!

Greg was most helpful for my husband in handling a case regarding a predator lender. He was most knowledgeable, helpful, attentive and resolved the matter in a way that was entirely to our benefit. We would highly recommend his services to anyone who has consumer issues. Thanks, Greg!

11 Dec, 2012 by Chris

Greg is very knowledgeable, capable, experienced and follows up with you and lets you know what going on with your case. I wish I had known about him 10 years ago because he would've saved me thousands of dollars from credit card companies that were contacting me regarding debts from the 90s. If you are having debt collection issues, have bad credit, have credit card companies and collection agencies chasing you down I would strongly recommend Greg.

Attorney Gregory Reichenbach was highly recommended to me by an attorney who represented me in a previous lawsuit. After careful thought, I decided to use his services, and he really is good. He was easy to get in touch with. He listened to me and spent enough time on the phone with me. He understood what I wanted and helped me to make good decisions. He explained my case to me thoroughly and treated me politely and respectfully. He made me feel comfortable about asking questions and kept me up to date on what was happening. Attorney Reichenbach is so professional, extremely knowledgeable, and is good at what he does: protecting consumers from unfair and deceptive business practices, including abusive debt collection. He helped me win a settlement. I will recommend him to anyone who needs the services of an honest and reliable attorney.

Mr. Motta set up a will for my husband and I and through him we learned how complicated a will can be. He is very thorough and attended to every detail. He explained everything to us in terms that we could understand. He met every expectation and more.

14 Dec, 2015 by Samir and esmat

What a real excellent professional person Mr. Motta is. My wife and I hired him for doing our estate plan. He is one of the extreme top people I have ever encountered. He listens really really well. He gives his sincere professional opinion. He is so very well organized and neat in his work. I believe very well that my wife shares me same opinion. Both of us referred our son and his wife to him and they were very impressed by Mr. Motta's professionalism and A++ work. We would definitely recommend Mr. Motta to any other friend or relative.

Joe has been most thorough and efficient in assisting us with updating and reviewing our wills. He prepared all documents in a timely manner and precisely as we requested. We would strongly recommend Joe to anyone requiring legal assistance.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You

A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.

Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.

When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:

Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.
Defective products: If you purchased a product that was unsafe or defective and caused harm, a lawyer can help you file a product liability claim.
False advertising or unfair pricing: A lawyer can assist if you were misled by deceptive advertising or charged for services or products in a way that violates consumer laws.
Debt collection harassment: If you're being harassed by debt collectors or are facing illegal debt collection practices, a consumer protection lawyer can enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Credit report issues: If errors on your credit report are affecting your financial standing, a lawyer can help you resolve disputes with credit reporting agencies or creditors under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Predatory lending practices: If you've been subjected to unfair loan terms or practices by payday lenders or mortgage companies, a lawyer can help you challenge the loan and seek a resolution.
Data breaches or identity theft: If your personal information was compromised due to a company’s failure to protect your data, a lawyer can help you recover damages related to the breach.

What Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Do?

A consumer protection lawyer provides a wide range of services to help protect consumers' rights and seek compensation for harms caused by businesses. Their role may include:

Filing lawsuits: Representing clients in lawsuits against businesses that have violated consumer protection laws, whether through fraud, deceptive practices, or negligence.
Negotiating settlements: Working with businesses or their insurers to negotiate fair compensation for damages caused by unfair practices or defective products.
Pursuing class action lawsuits: When a company harms multiple consumers, a lawyer can represent a group of plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, seeking collective damages.
Advising on consumer rights: Helping clients understand their rights under various consumer protection laws and advising on the best course of action.
Handling product liability claims: Representing clients who have been injured by defective products and holding manufacturers or retailers accountable for the harm caused.
Defending against debt collection harassment: Enforcing the rights of consumers under the FDCPA and other laws that protect individuals from abusive or unlawful debt collection tactics.
Resolving credit report disputes: Helping clients correct errors on their credit reports that may be causing financial harm or affecting their creditworthiness.

How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?

Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:

Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.

It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a consumer protection lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal service required. General cost estimates include:

Contingency fee cases: For cases handled on a contingency basis, the lawyer typically takes between 25% and 40% of any settlement or damages awarded.
Hourly rates: Hourly rates for consumer protection lawyers generally range from $150 to $500, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases involving complex legal issues.
Flat fees: For specific services like contract reviews or handling a small claims case, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the scope of work.
Class actions: In class action cases, fees are often paid out of the settlement or damages awarded, and individual plaintiffs usually do not have to pay upfront.

Make sure to ask for a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to avoid surprises and to understand how much you can expect to pay.

How to Check the Credibility of a Consumer Protection Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable consumer protection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
Check for experience in consumer protection: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to confirm they specialize in consumer protection law and have handled cases similar to yours.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle consumer protection cases.
Look for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to protecting consumer rights.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a consumer protection lawyer, come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

Details of the product or service in question: Bring any purchase receipts, warranties, or contracts related to the product or service involved in your claim.
Documentation of your complaint: Provide evidence of your complaint, such as email exchanges with the company, photos of a defective product, or a timeline of events related to the dispute.
Communication with the business or debt collector: If you’ve communicated with the business or debt collector, bring copies of letters, emails, or phone logs.
List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes for your case.
Information on damages: Be prepared to discuss any financial losses or harm you’ve suffered as a result of the unfair business practices, including medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your situation more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed with your case.
