a month ago I made a bad decision to drink and get behind the wheel. I crashed my car into a telephone pole. the car was totaled but I was uninjured. I submitted to a field sobriety and also a breathalyzer. the breath test was .223 almost 3 times the legal limit. I hired Mr healey the next day. I wascharged with 2 duis, open container and failure to control. anything over .17 breath test adds high tier dui. I met with Mr healey 5 days later at arraignment and twice more until my plea today. the evidence against me was overwhelming, however Mr healey got the high tier breath test, open container and failure to control dismissed. even though there are some repercussions such as fines and probation I am very pleased with the outcome on my very poor lack of judgement.

So I originally spoke with Ryan Nelson for about an hour for my first case and immediately knew he was my guy .. fast forward 3 months I not only got off no time but also no points on my license. The second time he not only helped get off on something a little bit more extreme but only a month later. He’s gone above and beyond not once but TWICE! 10/10 Would recommend his paralegal Adrian was also very helpful in times Ryan was busy. All around great service.

After my previous attorney refused to get back in touch with me. I reached out to Tanner on getting a suspension on my license dropped. Him and his team replied in a timely manner and explained all the steps and what to expect. He was in contact with me every step of the way and successfully got my suspension dropped! Could not have been happier with the results and wish I had found him sooner.

Ryan helped me successfully resolve a county citation issue. He was very principled and justice-oriented. I felt like he championed my issue from the perspective of insisting the county do the "right" thing. His communications are clear and concise.
His documentation process is comprehensive.He's intelligent and kind. He obtained a dismissal; I am exceedingly happy with the results. I'd highly recommend him as an attorney.

I am beyond pleased with Mr. Kapor and his paralegal Kaitlyn! Without them, I don't know if I could have won my SSDI case. They truly know the ins and outs of the SSA system and their experience shows. David prepped me for my hearing and made the process very smooth. Kaitlyn helped ensure all the correct paperwork was went sent in and helped to answer any questions I had. All this to say, you will be in great hands. Thank you so much David and Kaitlyn!!!

My fiancé and I originally contacted an attorney in Cincinnati to help with our K1 Visa process, however he seemed a bit…busy? Anyway, after the initial phone conversation and odd feeling, we were lucky enough to find Neil Fleischer.
Neil was there EVERY step of the way, walking us through every aspect with respect, politeness, and a TRUE sense of caring! My (now wife) and I are truly blessed to have worked with him and were married earlier this year.
I can’t speak highly enough of Neil and his team. He always responded right away, was there for a phone call if I was confused about anything, and is a great human being. We are now working with him for my wife’s change of status paperwork.
You won’t find a more kind, caring, and knowledgeable attorney for immigration! I guarantee it! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him and his team, and my wife and I are forever in his debt. Thank you so much!!!!

Over the past year, Lauri has gone above and beyond my expectations in her handling of my contentious divorce. She guided me every step of the way and was always available to talk when questions or concerns arose.
In addition to Lauri, I can't say enough about how helpful and resourceful the entire office was, especially Hope.
Both Lauri and Hope were there for me and got me through one of the toughest years I've encountered while obtaining for me a very favorable outcome.
I cannot thank them enough and highly recommend them for your legal needs!

Tom, Jim, and Suzanne are a dynamic team that work overtime to provide the top-notch professional care and resources of a larger firm with the personalized attention to detail that you won’t find elsewhere in their practice areas. Here, each client receives the benefit of their time, experience, and insight. While their expertise spans a range of practice areas, I can personally attest to their representation in a personal injury. Having Jim and Tom in our corner made all the difference in confronting the at-fault party. Tom and Jim were able to obtain about seven times the amount we could have ever hoped for on our own. They are tremendously skilled in local and federal matters. Their team is not only expert litigators, but principled human beings, which is a rarity.

Hi, originally came across this firm with the need for representation on short notice. Recommended by a few good associates of mine regarding how they “run a tight ship” over at Ernst & Associates.
The gentleman I spoke with during the intake process was very professional and provided clarity when needed. Our advocate, Jag, showed up the next day and provided a action-plan, that fell nothing short of the discussion we had the day prior with the other gentleman.
Overall experience & results: We were fully satisfied with Jag. Would recommend him & this firm for others, with their expertise & background with what this firm deals with day-in, day-out.
From start to finish, thank you all.

Shannon is an essential part of my business. When I started, I was using contracts that I had crafted from a template, and one from another attorney who didn't understand my industry. Shannon not only wrote the best contract for my business, but she also explained each part of the document and what it does so I completely understand how to protect my business. I'm fortunate to have such a trusted advisor on my team.

Shannon Villalba offers a holistic legal & business lens on my business. She has been able to offer support and advice in ways that I didn't know I needed. I feel that she is very trustworthy and kind, and that makes me feel comfortable working with her and essentially trusting her with these pieces that I'm glad I don't have to worry about. I couldn't do it alone and it's important to have people on your team that you can trust! When I found Shannon, I asked Facebook friends for "a lawyer with heart" and that is exactly what Shannon is - strong, can defend & support in powerful ways, but also is connected to her heart.

This firm is incredible! Definitely not like the over advertised, catchy jingle, local lawyers. Scott Schweiger is by far one of the best people ive ever met. He's not just a dedicated and thorough attorney. He's an actual human being, and he treated me like one too, not just like a pay check. He returned EVERY SINGLE ONE of my 3000+ phone calls. Stayed in contactwith me and made sure i thoroughly understood what was happening with my case. There is no way for me to explain how truly and utterly AMAZING this lawyer is.

Mr. Joe Suhre Esq. was the quintessential representation. He was extremely professional and effective in all aspects of the case. His ability to defuse the anxiety one feels when dealing with legal matters shows the depth of his compassion as well as his experience in the field. He is deeply appreciated and admired by muse and my family. I absolutely would recommend him without hesitation.

Joe and his office were excellent in working with us on our case. He fought to get us a reduced sentence.

Along the way he communicated and was very responsive. I highly recommend Joe and his team.

My daughter hired Ritgers & Ritgers in 2019 because she was denied Social Security Disability due to health reasons. Her lawyer, Mr Eric Allen worked on her case for 6 years. After denials, appeals and court appearances she finally received a fully favorable decision in 2023. However, she still was not receiving her monthly benefits. He continued to work on her case by filing motions and appearances at the Social Security Office. Finally, his hard work and dedication has paid off.
I am so very thankful for Ritgers & Ritgers and especially for Mr Eric Allen who did not give up on her case. I cannot thank him enough.
If you have a denial of Social Security I would 1000% recommend him and his firm.

Lindsay Lawrence as one of the best lawyer as I have ever seen in my life.

She is honest, moral, and incredibly hard working. She will fight for you.

Ed Perry from Rittgers, Rittgers, & Nakajima is an amazing lawyer who not only produced a great outcome for my case, but also showed true sincerity and kindness toward me during a very dark moment in my life.
It's impossible to know what would have happened without the great, legal representation that Ed provided. But, I wouldn't want to find out.
I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

Ryan was my first attorney, after 2 others, to say hey, let’s just prepare, take this to trial, and win as opposed to the other attorneys that wanted to keep trying to mediate with no results, and a long drug out case. Ryan went into court well prepared, had me well prepared, and we won our case on every issue! We got more than we asked for, and me and my kids are happy now and moving on with normal life. I couldn’t be happier! It was a job well done!

Ryan was able to quickly modify the deed to my house to include my wife so we could get the best rate to re-finance. The new deed was sent to me in a day or so and I feel confident submitting it to the county recorder. This is a testament to Ryan’s knowledge of law and wide range of services offered.

If you’re reading this page like I was several months ago you’ve probably found yourself in a tight spot. Trying to determine the right attorney for your matter can be difficult, but it can make a huge difference in your life. Personally, I had no idea who to go with initially based off internet research, until I spoke with Mr. Rubenstein. I had entered a new reality the night I was arrested and was not familiar with justice system nor its processes, terms/language, or timelines. Mr. Rubenstein explained everything upfront with clear language, detailing challenges and outcomes. Don’t expect your problem to go away over night as legal matters tend to move at their own pace. Your attorney can only do so much for you, it’s important to note your behavior and attitude can go a long way with the courts even before your initial appearance. So be patient and keep a level head. With that being said, given the facts of my case, Mr. Rubenstein was able to mitigate the trouble I caused myself to where I will only have a small blemish on my record compared to what I was facing. I would say he did a great job working with both myself and the courts to obtain a favorable outcome. Hopefully I will never need him again, but should that day happen I would call him again.

When I needed legal representation, a mutual friend recommended Scott.
Although the case was not convoluted, it was considered criminal under OHIO law. Having Scott representing me during this stressful time, definitely diminished the burden.
During our first informal phone conversation, Scott clearly laid out all steps of the process and then followed them until the successful resolution of the case.
Throughout the process, I could count on Scott’s professionalism, patience and respectfulness that extends not just to his clients, but visibly to other people he interacts with professionally.

We hired Scott to handle my son's DUI case. There was a mental health aspect to his case and Scott dealt with it with compassion and respect. His knowledge of the legal system when it comes to DUI cases is incredible then add mental health to that and Scott knew exactly what to do! He was able to get my son's DUI amended due to his mental health aspect. I do not believe other lawyers would have taken these extra steps. I am forever grateful to Scott for taking our case and being so diligent in the process!

I had the privilege of having Mr. Bill Gallagher, as well as his colleague Kara Blackney, investigate a serious criminal legal matter, on my behalf during the preliminary pre-Indictment stages, with their expertise they were prepared to represent me, come what may. The matter was quashed by the grand jury, but their support, legal knowledge and preparedness comforted me along the way. When one could be facing loss of liberty, these attorneys understand this severity and commit themselves with all their resolve to working for their client's legal defense.

I am very grateful to attorney Bradley Groene for everything he has done for me. We all look for a good attorney when we get into an unpleasant situation. When I talked to other attorneys which recommended to me by my friends, many attorneys said that it is possible to close it by passing the diversion programms. But the only attorney Brad said that you first need to lower the degree and make sure that it does not have a negative impact in the future when obtaining citizenship and your background. I decided to choose him without a second of hesitation. And I do not regret it at all. He did everything possible so that my future would not suffer from the misunderstanding that happened. I recommend Brad to you because he is a professional in his job. And yes, guys, I want to say that at the end of the hearing, the judge said that "Your attorney did a tremendous job on your case." Thank you very much, Brad. And good luck to you in your work.

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.

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

Mr. Leon is a professional Lawyer. We just talked over the phone about the road ticket my brother got. Since, my brother is a truck driver any point and any ticket is a serious problem for him.
After just talking and explaing the matter he took all the information via phone and did the rest himself. We didn't even meet, didn't go anywhere. He himself went to the court twice and dealt with everything. We are satisfied with his service since we got what we wanted without any hustles and bustles.
Thank you

My fiancé and I originally contacted an attorney in Cincinnati to help with our K1 Visa process, however he seemed a bit…busy? Anyway, after the initial phone conversation and odd feeling, we were lucky enough to find Neil Fleischer.
Neil was there EVERY step of the way, walking us through every aspect with respect, politeness, and a TRUE sense of caring! My (now wife) and I are truly blessed to have worked with him and were married earlier this year.
I can’t speak highly enough of Neil and his team. He always responded right away, was there for a phone call if I was confused about anything, and is a great human being. We are now working with him for my wife’s change of status paperwork.
You won’t find a more kind, caring, and knowledgeable attorney for immigration! I guarantee it! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him and his team, and my wife and I are forever in his debt. Thank you so much!!!!

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
