Rob and his team were a blessing to have on my side. I had 3 or 4 different sources suing me for something I had no control of. He kept me appraised of all the steps he followed to get them to see I was not liable and drop the suits. I HIGHLY recommend this law firm for any kind of legal action necessary.

I absolutely would recommend Steven Katz to friends, family, and anybody in need of an honest, incredibly knowledgeable, decent, kind, and respectful attorney. I have worked with Attorney Katz for over a year on a very aggravating consumer case. He kept me informed and protected my interests through the entire process. I will be following up with Attorney Katz for all of my real estate, estate planning, and any other needs I might have their firm handles because I trust him. He is a good egg. That kind of professionalism, experience and ethics is a treasure in this world and I am grateful to have worked with him.

They say God works through people, Elizabeth and her team are those people. I started working with Elizabeth a little over a year ago now. Her and her amazing team never left me in the dark. Kept informed every step of the way. And was real about what could happen and kept my expectations realistic. Elizabeth and her team went above and beyond anything I could ever have hoped for. These folks stayed on task in spite of a busy schedule. The flexibility and reliability they had was and is nothing short of a blessing.

My wife and I sought Petroff and Associates for assistance in fighting a frivolous child protective service investigation. We were assigned Elizabeth Mitchell who immediately became our strongest advocate. Her talented legal skills and expertise helped close this case quickly and allow my family to move on from this unfortunate incident.

I first consulted with Ron Petroff around September 2021. I was informed of the difficulties that my case presented to me and was told how he would begin to represent me and what the plan of attack was AND WHY. He understood when and how to explain things to me throughout the two years almost of representation I have required.
He handled my divorce and then custody trials/settlements. Throughout all my needs and experiences with his office/staff I have experienced an almost overwhelming amount of competency. When every word matters, you need an attorney that puts importance on every word. That’s Ronald Petroff.
Ron and his expertise has brought unmeasurable amounts of comfort, peace of mind, and certainty to my family’s life. So hire him. Trust me.

I have used Mr. Herders services previously to file a bankruptcy and my case was handled professionally. Recently I had to contact them for some information on my old case and he was very helpful and provided the information I needed quickly. The issue involved a mortgage that was thankfully removed 10 years ago. He looked up the records and his office did the job perfect. He remembered me and actually answered the phone too. He has the same high energy in the past. Does he ever sleep? He also explained that I could not accomplish the result now. I timed the bankruptcy just right. Thank you Mr. Herder for all of your help. I recommend the law office to anyone looking to file a bankruptcy!

I want to give Attorney Mark Herder & his team hats off for saving my Chapter 13. Due to illness I was in & out of the hospital & eventually spent time in a nursing home which caused me to fall behind on my Chapter 13 payments. Mr. Herder & his staff went to bat for me & saved my case. I want to express my gratitude to him & Kelsey for standing by my side. Thank you so much for all your help!!!

Mark Herder filed my bankruptcy case and made a bad situation turn into a positive one. He and his staff took care of all the money troubles that I had from bad decisions from a bad divorce. I really felt like he was in my corner, and he even called me back tonight, after work, on a weekend. I am sure that he had plenty of other things to do during this pandemic as well. I am glad I followed his advice and instructions from the first time I contacted him several years ago. The car is saved and I have taken real good care of it too. My bankruptcy case will finish in 15 months and I have made all of the payments, just like he sugested. I will freely own my car at the end of the case, with no debts. Have a nice weekend Attorney Herder!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My friend worked with Jeremy on his divorce thus recommended him to me, which I now thank him for. Working with Jeremy was not like working with a cold lawyer. It feels like working with a friend who happens to be a lawyer. His work style is very professional but friendly and approachable. Even though he had tons of cases and court work, he always did his best to be flexible, accommodate my schedule and respond my emails promptly. I cannot think of any moment with him that made me nervous or uncomfortable. I was not an expert on divorce (who is?) and had a lot of silly and basic questions on how things should work. And I freaked out several time when things from my ex’s side surprised me, Jeremy was always very patient and helpful to answer my questions, and give me professional and personal advice.
During the course, I changed job twice and had to put the case on hold, which created some additional work for him. At a point, my ex’s lawyer totally dropped the ball. I am very thankful that he was very nicely and patiently helping me with my paperwork and instructed me on how to handle such situation. Opposite to my ex’s lawyer who was only reactive, Jeremy took proactive actions to help move this case forward to the direction that benefited me. At the end of the case, I am fully confident in his expertise, professional knowledge, and experience. More importantly, I see him as a trusted friend with nice personality and a beautiful heart. I certainly don’t want myself or my friends to get involved in legal matters. But if we do, Jeremy will absolutely be my go-to-person and I will be absolutely confident and proud to recommend him to my friends, because having Jeremy will be our best choice.

Having been misrepresented in the past I can say I was more than apprehensive at the thought of hiring yet another attorney. I can say today with all confidence that Jamie Manning and her associate Meghan Darah are top notch attorneys. The office staff is top notch as well. They are professional, very knowledgeable, and most of all passionate about the best outcome for their clients. I am deeply grateful for the time and effort they put into my case. We were given favor in the Court today and I am convinced that it was achieved because of the dedication of Jamie and Meghan. When you need the best to represent you, trust Manning Law Company. You will not go wrong.

I went through several lawyers in my custody battle before I found Bob Caplan, and the difference in representation was immediately noticeable. Bob spent countless hours fighting for both of my children, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. He was very invested in my case, didn’t make any promises that he couldn’t keep, and he genuinely cared about my family’s future. In the courtroom, he was able to accurately depict what was going on with my childrens’ mother and was able to win several cases that my ex had put against me. I have been through 3 Ohio lawyers and none of them can hold a candle to Bob’s professionalism and work ethic. He has over 20 years of experience fighting for Ohio families and it shows. I would definitely recommend Bob to anyone looking for a lawyer. He will see you through the most challenging time of your life and will be standing next to you when your problems are resolved.

Larry was a godsend. He helped my wife take care of a false claim that she owed an ancient debt. He let us know what he'd need from us and then he took quick and direct action against the claimant who was representing the so-called creditor. His aggressive approach cleared up the matter in less than two weeks and, some months later, my wife's credit rating recovered and passed 800 in time for us to refinance our home.

The representation received from Mr Hayman was impressive to say the least. I had to appear in court and we had to file a continuance, but I never had to worry about a thing. I had any paperwork I needed for reference before the ink dried. Day of court I was quite nervous, but Mr Hayman put me right at ease, handled every detail and I came out better than I thought.
Very positive experience when it was not expected (court is hardly positive). I would highly recommend Mr Hayman!

All legal filings were extremely thorough and timely. Danielle was extremely professional in court hearings and with opposing counsel. If I should ever need assistance in the future I would not hesitate to hire her once again. The firm as a whole is amazing on every level. I will be forever grateful to her for everything she did for me and my family!

I chose Tony and his firm based on their excellent reputation for the most complicated of cases, especially those where financial issues are concerned. The knowledge and experience Tony offers in these areas far surpasses anything I had imagined. Tony is highly knowledgeable and realistic in all financial areas , as well as, extremely resourceful in calling in other experts ( when necessary). Although our case was lengthy, Tony remained invested in seeking justice throughout the case. I highly recommend Tony as a highly qualified attorney to navigate even the most difficult of cases. Thank you Anthony Auten and all the staff at Grossman Law.

I was sold on Mr Auten immediately as the person I wanted to represent me in my divorce. Such a credible, professional, stately attorney on my side made the other side begin cooperating as soon as he was retained, and he eased the whole process along. I am thrilled with the price, the service, and the result!

Kelly has represented me when my attorney of record had a conflict. Kelly came well prepared for the hearing and knew the background of my case. She asked me appropriate questions if she felt like she needed clarification. She gave my case the attention it deserved and I never felt like she was rushing to get through something. She followed up with me after an attorney only status hearing. It is easy to communicate with Kelly via phone or email. She is personable and likable -- a positive experience.

This is the second contact I have had with Attorney Bergman. The first was handled very professional. I had interviewed other attorneys and was not required by Attorney Bergman to pay for high rise offices with fancy parking garages.He was able to handle the issue(s) expeditiously and allowed my input whenever warranted. I will continue to enlist his services and recommend others should the need arise. Thank you for taking the fear out of hiring and affording an attorney.

Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- 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.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.

Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.

- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.

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.
