I worked with Justin Winthrow, who is an attorney at the law firm of Michael C. Hennenberg. I had a few minor misdemeanors (4) and one misdemeanor 4th degree unlawful use of property. Most were open containers and disorderly conducts the m-4 was related to unlawful use of property again related to collage hooliganism. I wanted to let everyone know that although the matters were basically minor they were complicated due to the fact there were multiple offenses which undoubtedly complicates things.
The process was very clear and Justin gave me very clear instructions of what I had to do to prove i was rehabilitated, and of a higher moral character now then before. I included a personal narrative, pictures of my family, professional credentials and accomplishments.
He submitted everything and had a court date scheduled soon after. Justin accompanied me to this hearing that lasted only a few minutes. My petition was successful and I had my record sealed.
Just also left the door open to contact him if I had any questions related to his work or related to what i may or may not need to report on future applications for employment.
I can not stress enough how professional Justin was and how efficient the Law Firm of Michael C. Hennenberg operated. He was an excellent communicator through the entire process and was constantly keeping me updated by phone, text, and email.
If you are looking for a solid attorney I highly recommend Justin and his law firm.
Thank you Justin for helping me clear up a blemish in my history. I could not have done this without you!

When I first spoke with Attorney Rini my wife and I were in a tough place. We did not understand what had just happened with our case and thought it was going to be possible to lose custody of a child we had raised for over 3 years.
Attorney Rini helped us understand the law as it applied to our situation, showed great patience with us and was tenacious for our case.
At the time my wife and I had just moved out of the state and we're forced into a legal battle due to a previous negligent attorney. Attorney Rini came in and quickly cleaned up the mess that was left and began to turn the case in our favor. She wrote exceptional briefs that articulated sound arguments to the court.
During the process, she was always accessible. She responded to our questions, often within hours and kept us updated on the process. This was much different than what we were used to. I always felt that we were in great hands with her in our corner.
I cannot recommend Attorney Rini more highly! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I also must emphasize how important it is to hire an attorney who actively practices within the area of law you need. We needed her expertise in Family Law, specifically a custody issue. She was able to navigate us through what we thought was murky waters while being aggressive towards our opponent.

A friend of mine recommended DAVID WOLFE LEOPOLD & ASSOCIATES CO to me. I was not disappointed. I was getting nowhere with my ‘case’ with the authorities and after discussion with David he took me as a client. He gave me great advise and he knew exactly what to do. Once he ‘filed’ my case, he diligently followed up with both the authorities and myself for a period of 13 months. His perseverance and due diligence proved worthy and my case was won.

Martin Gelfand is a great attorney. He was referred to us by the domestic violence advocates of Cuyahoga county Domestic Relations Court in the fall of 2015. We reached out to Marty via email, and were contacted back almost immediately. I am a father of six children, two of which I was looking to gain residential custody of. This was a complicated case, and needed lots of attention. Upon our first meeting, I knew I was in good hands with him. Unlike many other attorneys I have encountered in the past, Marty is an excellent listener. He really seems to care about my case and the situation. In my experience with other attorneys, a lot of them seem to be very dismissive. This is not the case with Marty. He is always available when I need him. I can contact him via email or telephone. If he doesn't respond or answer right away, it is always guaranteed that he will get ahold of me at some point that day. Whether it be a very serious concern, or just a simple question, he is always there to answer and help. Marty has worked extremely hard for my family and I. Marty stood up and fought for us when no one else would. We got exactly what we set out to achieve in our court hearing. Unfortunately we have to revisit court again. But I am more than confident that Marty will do his absolute best in helping us get what we need done. There's nothing negative that I can say about this man. He's been a blessing to our family. I would recommend Marty as an attorney any day. I look forward to working with Marty in the future with any needs I may have. 5 stars!

Losing a loved one is incredibly challenging, and navigating the legal aftermath can feel overwhelming. Nadas Law stepped in during our family's time of need, taking charge of the entire legal process while we focused on our grief.
From start to finish, my siblings and I were kept informed every step of the way. They patiently explained complex documents filled with legal jargon and guided us through the often frustrating task of coordinating with multiple departments at our bank.
Words can't express our gratitude for Nadas Law’s unwavering support and commitment to managing our mother’s estate. They made an incredibly difficult time a little easier for our family, and we are truly thankful.
Thank you team, Nadas! We are forever grateful.

Bruce Rutsky was recommended to me and did not fail me. I live in FL. While on vacation, I fell into a hole in a parking lot in Cleveland Ohio and broke my leg. I was getting nowhere on my own and he was willing to take my case. He explained the Ohio "open and obvious" case law clearly. He also was very clear about the process we would go through, what he needed from me and what he would be able to do. He settled my case to my utmost satisfaction. And he did it in a short time-frame, months instead of years. He was professional and kind. His charges were reasonable and he took care of all the details. If you need help, I highly recommend Bruce Rutsky.

Attorney Mary Corrigan is exceptional at what she does. As my public defender, she handled my case with true professionalism and genuine care. She was always personable and took the time to explain everything clearly. Her dedication and expertise ultimately led to my case being dismissed. What impressed me most was how thoroughly she worked on my behalf, despite her busy caseload as a public defender. I couldn't have asked for better legal representation. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Corrigan Law Ohio and couldn't be more satisfied with their exceptional service. From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff was welcoming and professional.
The attorneys at Corrigan Law demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge in their respective fields. Their attention to detail and commitment to my case gave me confidence and peace of mind.
I also want to commend Mary Catherine Corrigan personally for her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome.
Overall, Corrigan Law Ohio exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal representation. If you're seeking a law firm with a knowledgeable and dedicated team, not some kind of wizards that promise to fix everything look no further than Corrigan Law Ohio.
Thank you, Mary Catherine, for your outstanding service.

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.
