Carrie Waide did an incredible job with my daughter's custody case.
Her expertise, dedication, and compassion were unwavering, and ultimately resulted in a favorable outcome for my daughter.
Carrie was extremely responsive, proactive, and prioritized my daughter's well-being throughout the process. I really couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent us through one of the most difficult times in our lives.
Her experience as a magistrate gives her a unique perspective in advising clients in both litigated and collaborative matters.
Carrie truly takes the time to understand her clients’ goals and interests to assess their needs to determine an appropriate course of action to reach the best possible outcome for their family.
I'm immensely grateful for Carrie's guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking representation in family court.

This past year to year and a half I have had a lot of issues with my ex-wife. To the point that I filed numerous motions of contempt against her and she filed 1 against me. Ultimately we were told to find the services of a GAL to try and help figure out what is best for the children. The GAL we had could not be bothered to verbally speak to teachers at the children's schools even though she was asked to numerous times. When she finally did reach out to the school to verbally speak to anyone she still didn't speak to the teachers that were asked of her. Instead she sent questionnaires based on what she thought should be asked I guess. I called this GAL numerous times and left voicemails without a single call back. I feel as though the GAL was extremely bias as in she kept putting in her reports that she understands why mom feels this way or she can see the reasons behind this but completely disregarded anything mom did to dad. The GAL didn't even call witnesses until right before the original report was due and didn't put any of this in the report but I guess she only did the calls so she could say she did and bill for it. My ex-wife and I had to go through mediation per court order in which the GAL talked about being professional with the mediator and said that we need to reply within 24 hours of messages. According to this our GAL is unprofessional. The GAL tried to change my schedule even though mom works from home and has an extremely flexible job where as I don't and i have a rotating day job. The day of court my ex-wife sent me a message that was completely inappropriate and the GAL came and talked to me saying i need to be more clear with what I need even though I asked for the whole bill that i need to see exactly what this is for (obviously a bill that we had to share the cost of.) I would not recommend this law firm for anything if they operate anything like the GAL did. The GAL didn't have where my son was born correctly in the report, called me by a different name at one point in the report, and just didn't seem to be bothered with actually getting any information from third parties or myself. Lack of communication, professionalism, and the inability to look for whats best for the children was truly sad.

I retained Mr. King in the spring 2021. I attempted to contact him numerous times by phone and email after I gave him the retainer. He was very slow to respond and sometimes did not at all. He always seemed quite disorganized and confused. I felt I was not very high on his priority list. Once my retainer ran out I sought a different counsel who has been wonderful.

Stephen and his associate Daniel Campbell saw me through an inordinately long divorce case in which I was the defendant. I highly recommend him.He's expensive but very worth it as he sees everything through to the end.

I was referred to Attorney Stephen King by an attorney friend of mine to handle my divorce. To say the least, my divorce was complicated, both financially and emotionally. Mr. King was more than attentive from the very beginning. He was very informative every step of the way, explaining every aspect of the process to me so that I fully understood the process and my options. There was NEVER a time that I contacted Mr. King, either by phone or email, that he did not respond IMMEDIATLEY! Mr. King always had MY best interests in mind in all the decisions that were made. He consulted me every step of the way and made no decisions without my input. Mr. King brought to my attention things that I would not have even thought of without his guidance. Divorce is never an easy or pleasant process, however, Mr. King made me feel comfortable and well informed thru the entire process. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney Stephen King to anyone faced with the difficult process of divorce. In addition to Mr. King, his staff was kind and personable. They always addressed me by my first name the minute I either walked in the door or called in by phone. They all gave me the personal attention that is so necessary when you are going thru such a scary and unsettling process. I cant thank Mr. King and his staff enough. They mad a painful process much easier to endure

I have been working through some issues with my ex husband, regarding child support, parenting times and other things associated with this, and Ed Vardiman represented me through it all.
Going into this process, I was unsure if I would be able to convey my message and communicate with him enough, what I was up against, as it was an extremely exhausting and stressful time. Ed consistently instilled me with just the right amount of confidence that things would work out. We have not received the magistrate's decision just yet, but that regardless of the outcome, I was thoroughly impressed with his work, and felt confident in the room having him on my side.
Ed did a GREAT job, and everything he said would happen, and what to expect happened. The other attorney spoke a lot, was overly and ineffectively loud. We stated the facts and I remained somewhat calm, before I almost fell off the stand.
I feel like this profession may be a thankless job at times, but I didn't want to let the opportunity pass, to let him know that his hard work was appreciated, and like I told my family and friends, he outshined the other attorney in every aspect, and I can't thank him enough for the support he provided.

Huge Law Firm with a few bad eggs. Watch out for Attorney Brian Perry out of Cincinnati, OH. Brian's special skill is setting up Upper Encelon Workers Compensation Fraud Rings. I know from first-hand experience. Mr. Perry is willing to bend or outright break laws to help his clients win Injury Claims. I am still injured 2 years after I was injured, Ironworking and fighting my claim. Brian has, unfortunately, forgotten there are Rules/Laws he has to uphold. I am going to make sure Mr. Perry is held accountable for his Unlawful Participation that landed me living in my SUV for the past 15 months. All while having a serious spinal injury. I don't deserve nor any Injured Worker should be forced to combat against Bad Faith and Fraudulent Inducement to prove their Injury.

Two hour trial and this alleged experienced attorney did not submit ANY exhibits/evidence to protect minor children. She had two simple tasks and she failed. She did not give any effort and was thirty minutes late. She banked on knowing the judge and said she knew what the outcome would be. Who does that and risks the safety of kids?

My bro got hit by a car while he was on a motorcycle. He ended up stuck with hospital bills, barely got his lost wages, also ended up losing his job over the trauma he endured. Any other lawyer would have gotten him more then $20k which he ended up with $11k after all said and done. My opinion Paul can't hackett, find a better lawyer from the beginning. He's probably working with the chiropractor too. Didnt make it as a coach not much better as a lawyer.. figured I'd make a more recent review then the ones I seen from 3 to 5 years ago.

Mr Green was the prosecuting attorney against my husband for a case in which the jury found unanimously in our favor. Shame on Green that he takes cases that should never be pursued and that people’s lives are upended needlessly. Green himself caused two mistrials by passing out, once during jury selection and once during trial. Greens’s own expert witness agreed that everything was within the standard of care. We are still wondering how Green thought he had a case.
Please google Harrison Green, Ohio Supreme Court for why he had his license suspended temporarily and what he was indicted for.
All of this is MY OPINION.

Jeffrey is the absolute BEST attorney anyone could hire. I was referred to him by a friend and I am so grateful for everything Jeffrey did to help me.
My ex-fiancé who lived with me broke things off suddenly a month before the wedding and decided to make my life awful in the process.
When I reached out to Jeffrey, I was a new grad with a job offer lined up in the healthcare field. I had multiple licensure exams I had to pass within 6 weeks of graduation in order to keep my job. I contacted Jeffrey to help obtain a clean and mature break from my ex in order to avoid any future unpleasantries.
Jeffrey is great at communicating; he kept me updated during every step of the process in a way that didn’t stress me out. He was also very quick to respond to anything I needed. When I met him for the first time in person I quickly felt at ease. I could instantly tell that he is extremely knowledgeable in the practice of family law because he asked all of the right questions to assess my situation and he came prepared to our meeting with sections of the Ohio Revised Code printed out. After understanding my situation he explained the parts of the ORC that applied to my situation as well as how he planned to use them.
Jeffrey executed everything perfectly and got it all done within a week. Thanks to Jeffrey, I was able to obtain a clean break from my ex-fiancé and begin the healing process. I have since passed my exams, obtained my license, and I am doing better than I ever imagined possible.
If you are looking for the best attorney in the tristate, reach out to Jeffrey Goodman. All of my friends know to contact Jeffrey Goodman if they ever have any issues that a lawyer’s expertise would be beneficial in resolving.

We were lied to by the innocent project and they lie about donation that they receive. All the DNA testing and services are done pro Bono and for free. They lied to our family for 12 years never finished our case and left us to rott in a messed up way. Promised to have votcher and services but all they do is pocket money for there selfs. Don't donate to them they don't really help the innocent out. Also the judges and prosecutors all went to school with them there was no way for them to ever be helping when the prosecutors represent the university in any civil cases.

The fact of the matter is Susan saved me from homelessness. I had been a caregiver to my 82-year-old mother who was made a ward of the state and placed in a nursing home. I was informed by the attorney for my mom’s estate I must leave the premises in 30 days. I had no place to go beyond the back seat of my car. Susan took my case and not only negotiated my stay in mom’s home, but ensured I would get the deed to the house after care giving more than six years. Now I understand why the Cincinnati Enquirer named her a home town hero.

Tiffany Evans was appointed as Guardian Ad Litem for my stepdaughters. Her report failed to address the particular issue leading to her appointment and disregarded a majority of the facts shared with her during a lengthy process of interviews. Additionally, it was the experience of numerous of those interviewed by her that she appeared disorganized to an unprofessional extent. We were the last case of Tiffany's before she left the firm for a magistrate position; it appeared that the report was rushed and reflected very poorly on her as well as the firm.

Ed represented my son in a dissolution involving two small children. He was paid approximately $7000 to do essentially nothing. He didn't defend or fight for my son and grandsons and even billed him for hours spent straightening out an error he made in regards to child support that he never fixed; his new attorney resolved the issue. In fact, she has represented him quite well and has fixed some major issues Ed allowed to happen. https://www.courtnewsohio.gov/cases/2016/SCO/0203/discipline.asp

Kim & her assistant were absolutely amazing! I walked into this completely nervous and scared not knowing what would happen. My divorce involved children so I wanted what best for my children and myself. Kim made sure that happened! She was so professional, organized, supportive & understanding. She made sure I understood everything as well. Kim made the whole process at lot easier and Kim helped with an amazing outcome with my case, which I couldn’t be more appreciative of. Although I hope it’s not needed, I definitely plan to continue to use Kim for any of my future needs. Along with recommending her to anyone I know who may need a great lawyer.

I paid $400, had an almost perfect driving record, and after some weeks he informed me the states attorney was being “difficult “ to work with, and I should just go ahead and accept the charge, points, and pay the fine. Absolutely the WORST representation I’ve ever had. Save your money or get a different attorney!!!

I am an OTR driver with over two million miles in my records and over the years I have had a few situations where I needed an attorney. By far, Mr Hart is the most professional and friendly attorney i have met. I left a message on a weekend and Monday morning his call was the first one. Asked the right questions, didn't seem in a hurry to take the case. Once we reached an understanding, he was able to help me with what I thought I had no way out. Fair and honest. Strongly recommend his services. Thank you and God bless.....

Altamente recomendable que no se acerque a ellos, te van a endulzar el oído al principio pero cuando ya tienen tu caso te tratan como la peor cosa te van a estar fregando cada mes por el pago. Siempre contesta la o el asistente lo que dura una llamada te cobra la hora del abogado, te llaman, sin resolver y te vuelen a llamar por la misma cosa dos o tres veces y la cuota sigue subiendo por cada llamada y no recuerdan para que te llaman total te mandan una factura bonito $$$$ por por el miserable trabajo que hicieron lo que por 30,40 horas quizá solo sean minutos de invertido por el abogado todo lo hacen los asistentes decirles mediocre suena bonito. Por les queda bien un bufete de mafi oso
Es lo que es cuando te cobran por nada.
Y lo que dura tu caso ya te habrán dejado votado 3 a 4 abogados total nadie sabrá llevar tu caso cómo se debe.
Mi deseo es que de verdad algún día sean más conscientes y razonables que ellos también son seres humanos.

I just had a terrible interaction with one of the clerks that works there that shut the door in my face, literally, I could have stuck my hand out to stop it, but I didn’t. So I knocked. I was informed they close at 3:45. “I don’t get paid after 4” is what she told me.
Their website says nothing about closing at 3:45pm. The person I talked to on the phone this morning said they’re open 8am - 4pm.

Their website says nothing about closing at 3:45pm. The person I talked to on the phone this morning said they’re open 8am - 4pm.
This has been a negative experience made especially awful thanks to an incredibly rude worker. I hope you can find better staff in the future.

- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
