Over several years, I’ve used Dennis for a number of legal matters (mostly civil issues) - sometimes simply when I needed legal advice and in other times to represent me. At all times he has been helpful, knowledgeable, professional and reliable. In actions involving strongly held differing views, he has been most interested in reaching equitable solutions rather than taking a prolonged, negative approach, yet he will also fight for what is justified for his clients.

I have been lucky enough to know Dennis Levin both personally and professionally for over 50 years. I have always admired his professionalism and knowledge of his field in law. That is why when I needed legal advice I hired his services. I trust him. He made himself available to me, educating and explaining to me about my options. In the end I was happy with the results. I give him high marks and I would feel very comfortable recommending him.

Dennis has handled several matters for me over the years including a civil lawsuit, a business matter and my divorce. He is extremely knowledgable; very patient; responded to me in a very timely matter and most importantly - was victorious in my favor each and every time! I can't say enough about how great he is to work with and I highly recommend him for all of your legal needs.

I chose Terri as my lawyer because she is also a CPA. Terri advised me of the best options for me in my dissolution and made financial recommendations for the most favorable outcome. She was great at keeping the momentum going and holding the other party's legal representative to deadlines.

Peter helped me field an issue concerning a breach of contract. Before contacting Peter I was worried I didn't have any options available to me, and didn't know what I was going to do. Peter is quick thinking and well connected, and had my problem solved before I knew it. He is efficient and gets right to the point; a good characteristic in an attorney given that legal fees are charged at an hourly rate.

Peter took the time to find the facts, get the information needed to proceed in our case, was there anytime to answer questions and provide facts. He believed in the case and followed through to the end. He was always looking out for the best interest of his clients. I would recommend him to my family and my friends!

Erin is absolutely amazing, kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and beyond helpful.
I've been going through a fairly routine custody situation after a divorce and Erin has helped every step of the way. Myself, my son, and even my ex wife all benefit from her being there to help guide the way. I cannot recommend her enough
Thank you so much Erin!! Your assistance is appreciated more than words can say!

Being a businesswoman is difficult enough and I've dealt with a number of attorneys as my business requires a lot of contract review and negotiation. I've been treated like a know-nothing, put off and ignored. Another client of Mr. Zavarella's introduced me to him. Here is a lawyer who is a FRIEND! Calls are returned promptly, he knows me and my business. Before we started he suggested that he come to my business and see what I do, asked me and my employees about the business. One afternoon I was sort of nervous about a meeting with one of my businesses larger clients and he even gave me his home phone "in case we had to count sheep together so you get some sleep"! Gino takes his clients seriously, respects what they know and makes people comfortable.

The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office filed appeal on my case. I had difficulty finding somebody willing to "take on" the prosecutor. I met Gino Zavarella and he didn't hand me off to a secretary or paralegal or inexperienced lawyer. I spent a lot of time with him (and expected my fees to be much, much more than they were and than others had quoted). He's the kind of guy - a regular guy - you can sit down and have a coffee or beer with and hears what you're saying. Not only was he willing to take on the County Prosecutor but I WAS 100% POSITIVE that we had WON THE CASE when we left the courtroom. The end result = 100% Win!

This guy is terrible. Overcharged by a large portion, and is extremely difficult to get responses. A simple estate case has now carried on for 6 years. Absolutely ridiculous. I'd never recommend this guy and I don't know how he is even a lawyer.

These lowlifes aren't even worth the time and trouble of hiring. They are greedy, care nothing for their clients and can't even do their job. I know of an individual they represented and this educated librarian sat there with his finger up his nose while the judge did his job for him. And if you owe them money, they threaten you, even if you are making payments to them. There a lot better attorneys in Columbus you can hire.

Our family worked with the Becker Law Firm to investigate the medical circumstances surrounding our father’s passing following heart surgery. During our first conversation, Romney Cullers explained the legal process, potential challenges, and possible outcomes of our case. Romney’s honesty and transparency was a determining factor in our decision to proceed with Becker Law - and indeed was a great introduction, reflective of our subsequent interaction with the rest of the firm’s staff.
Romney’s professional and thorough representation was invaluable, and ultimately led to a positive resolution of our case. Just as importantly, the kind guidance and patient assistance of everyone at the Becker Law Firm made the process easier on our entire family. For that, Becker deserves our deep gratitude and highest commendation.
We do not wish for any family to endure a loss similar to ours. However, we sincerely hope those who find themselves in that situation, can receive assistance like the one we found at the Becker Law Firm.

Attorney managing my cases left the firm. Now I have two ongoing cases with no support after reaching out, and was sent the bill. Little action was done on the cases prior as she said she would get to it-but never did- but now its starting to be too long after waiting several months, and now I have no POC. Do i need to find a new attorney? Will the things she said she would do get done? Feels like I'm just a client lost in the grey space.

I had an outstanding experience with McCarthy, Lebit, Crystal, and Liffman. Attorney Andrew P. was especially impressive—knowledgeable, responsive, and truly caring. He explained everything clearly and was the best advocate. I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. Highly recommend this firm and Andrew specifically for anyone seeking excellent legal representation!

My Deceased husband has been a client for 15+ years at Kelley Ferraro. Over the years I have dealt with many professional employees from attorneys to secretaries to probate, etc. I have two employees that have stood out over the years one being Bidea Kelly. I met Bidea through a business that I had had and she had turned me on to Kelley Ferraro. At that time she worked in probate and always was very personal. Bidea would give you as much information as she could or turn you on to another employee that would be able to answer your questions. The other employee is Valerie, the settlement coordinator. sometimes in a large law firm It's almost the luck of the draw what employee you get to speak to and for the last eight months I have been blessed to get Valerie. When speaking with her whether it's a question or she calls to give me information it's almost like she takes it personal as if she understands what I'm going through. I have gotten more information from Valerie in eight months then I have in the 15 years that I've been dealing With this law firm. There is much protocol / paperwork dealing with a lawsuit, as well as different departments. I always felt in the last 14 years that my case had been Unintentionally lost in the shuffle. NOT with Valerie, she knows exactly what chain the protocol has to take before a settlement and never hesitates to explain why a settlement would take as long as it does! Valerie has worked very hard on my case and I'm sure she does this for other clients as well. Of all the employees I have come in contact with I feel confident in saying Valerie enjoys her job and takes pride in being the best she can be for Kelley Ferraro !! She's a keeper!!!
Thank you , Linda Messina

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
- Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.
What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?
A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
- Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
- Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
- Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
- Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
- Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
- Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.
How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?
Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
- Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
- Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.
Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.
How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
- Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.
Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.
Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer
Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case. -
What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation. -
How long will the mediation process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests. -
Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.
How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
- Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
- Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
