I am not sure I can properly capture my experience with Perantinides & Nolan in a few sentences. It was under very unfortunate circumstances that led me to working with this firm. They proved themselves to be professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and very supportive. However, it is beyond the above that I will be forever grateful. Grateful for their compassion, caring, emotional support and for being there for my family at every turn, request and question. Paul with his team (Terri and Tony) are fantastic and I thank them for all they did for me and my family. Highly recommended!

We were in need of legal counsel during a very difficult time, Perantinides & Nolan came highly recommended. Tony was assigned to our case and worked diligently on our case. Tony and Paul both kept us updated as needed. Their professionalism was above and beyond and their compassion for us was even more impressive.

I am very pleased that I have this opportunity to write this review on my attorney, Tony Tsarouhas. From our very first phone conversation, I knew this was the attorney that I wanted to use to handle my case. Legal matters can be difficult to understand; however, Tony was very patient and explained every process and detail in a thorough and clear manner. His compassion for my situation was real and abundant. Throughout the course of our working together, Tony would constantly update me via phone calls and emails, and sometimes, I would receive an email that simply asked how I was doing. The entire team working with Tony is professional and caring, and willing to go the extra mile. Most importantly, he was very honest, never giving me wrong information or false hopes. Ultimately, Tony successfully negotiated a settlement that was beyond my expectations. I would use Tony again should the need arise and would not hesitate to refer him to others.

Thank you, Dylan for everything.

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 put one star but I wish I didn't have too..what's so funny is that the people who write a real but negative review, she instantly says she don't know the person and never represented them..smh..She didn't represent me and I will NEVER call her..She represented my nephew and he got life, didn't object to not one thing the prosecution trumped up, how tf a detective contaminate shell casings and she not object to the ones he claims were not..how can the prosecution play video statements in front of the jury when they were not introduced as evidence and she not object..How come not one victim show up in court other then the store clerk who didn't see the alleged aggressors but you let video statements from co defendants get played in open court with no objections..How was two Co defendants in the same cell for a year together when in statements they both admitting to being best friends and not know my nephew..Now with witnesses saying it was two alleged aggressors and none matched my nephew description, how the hell did you not fight for him, Ray Charles could see the B.S that was concocted in this case...But all u people saying she is a hands down good lawyer...lmao..yall must of had traffic tickets..

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.

We had just moved into our house and found that the basement leaked and filled up with lots of water. Previous owners claimed it had been disclosed. This case took over a year and went to court. Johanna won the case for us. the whole process was a little stressful and Johanna made us feel as comfortable as could be expected throughout the process.

We are current clients of Mr. Rudolph and we would highly recommend this attorney to anyone in need of a good man to represent them. Mr. Rudolph has been excellent in representing us in our estate and real estate cases. He is very professional, very kind, very realistic, very knowledgeable, very proficient, very down-do-earth, very attentive, and on and on... we can't say enough good things regarding this attorney. We have gone through a very difficult situation, and it has been such a blessing that we found him. He is extremely knowledgeable, and extremely kind; both of which have helped us tremendously as we have struggled through a very traumatic year. He has gone above and beyond what we would have ever expected, and he continues to do so. We are so pleased to have found this extraordinary attorney, who is also a wonderful human being. We highly recommend him.

I'm a big fan of Sara's. I had the pleasure of working with her for a number of years while we were at the same firm. She is very committed to her clients, both personally and professionally. She wants the very best for them, in and out of the courtroom, and she'll do everything in her power to help achieve positive outcomes. A big heart and a big brain! Who could ask for more from their lawyer?!

I've had the distinct opportunity to have Ms. Hanna represent my family member in a criminal appeals case. One of the things that impressed me most was she was a very caring individual, available to answer any and all questions that I had. I had never had to deal with an attorney under these circumstances before, however she made me feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. Ms. Hanna is well versed in several areas of law and carries a wealth of experience in criminal appeals. I found that she is not above further research if she doesn't have he answers. She keeps abreast of current information and legal trends that may affect her cases. Ms. Hanna has three partners, Mark Hanna, Deanna Schuler and Ms. Hedrick. I've met Mr. Mark Hanna and Ms. Deanna Schuler and find them both to be competent, caring and informative professionals, who have responded to my calls when Ms. Hanna was unavailable. Finally, Ms. Hanna has continually kept her client, my nephew, abreast of the status of his case, an diligently continues to work on his behalf. I would highly recommend this attorney and her partners.

After working with him for 4 years, I am honored to write this review of his impressive performance in and out of the courtroom. I have been inspired by his high level of professionalism. From the time I first met him, I always felt confident of his ability to represent me. Since I am in my eighties, I was pleased that he was patient, understanding, and compassionate working with me. He always made me feel that my input was valuable, both in and out of the courtroom. He entered the courtroom well-armed with his knowledge from years of research in the form of phone calls, live interviews, and online information. His fabulous opening statement captivated both the jury and the defense, leaving them on the edges of their chairs. To show the jury the exact measurements, he had life-size photos as well as props to demonstrate the relationship of the size of my tumors compared to the original size of my breasts. From his exceptional delivery, I knew he had the knowledge, the desire, and the integrity to win my case. I knew he had anticipated every possible argument the defense could present.
I was impressed by his creative resourcefulness, not only for gathering evidence but also for his ability to build hope in his clients. I felt he was totally committed to my case, regardless of the time and expense required. I never doubted that he had my best interests in every decision he made. Although he was 3 time zones away, he was always with me--through emails and phone calls--as if he was right next door. He flew here 7 times, never worrying about the cost or the personal inconvenience.
His mastery of multi-media equipment showed his superiority over the defense. After the trial, even they were impressed enough to ask him about the equipment he used. He kept the jurors' interest by breaking down all medical terms, so anyone could understand them. Even with his hands literally tied behind his back, he stayed focus to win the case. When he was not allowed to show the jury the pre-recorded depositions containing winning evidence, he demonstrated honesty and integrity by letting me voluntarily drop the case to prevent years of appeal, due to my age and health.
He deserves the highest possible rating because he is intelligent without being arrogant. He is knowledgeable and has great people skills. I was always proud to have him represent me. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone.
Most of all, I am grateful for all the time and expense he went through flying to many states to gather depositions from witnesses and medical experts. I believe he is the best attorney, not just in the United States, but in the world. Without reservation, I believe he should receive the highest rating because he definitely surpasses all the necessary requirements in every category.

This is hands down the best lawyer I ever had and if you are looking for someone patient, understanding, highly intelligent, and competent, skillful negotiator and mediator, please look no further. There are a lot of family/criminal lawyers that should not be in business and this woman is a wonderful gem. I have had my shared of okay and great lawyers but she is top tier. Through her, I realized God works in mysterious ways and she was God sent. You cannot find someone better than her with a humbling spirit and the right attitude to defend you and your interest. There is no one better for she speaks to you and treat you like a friend/relative. Emily...you are the best in the field and I mean this sincerely!

Scanlon and Company are a vey knowledgeable team when it comes to personal injury, car accidents, medical malpractice - they stand up for the little guy. I have had to opportunity to work with both Larry Scanlon and James Galla when a friend of mine had a minor car crash. They are an amazing team at trial. I was really impressed how much they know - they answered all my friends questions off the top of their heads. I will definitely talk to them first if I or anyone I care about ever needs an injury attorney in the future!

The settlement was straight forward, with very little to do, the drawback was waiting almost a year for the state of ohio/medicaid nexxus to decide how much was due back to them seeing how I was covered under their policies from a previous injury.

In 2021 my husband found himself in need of an attorney for child custody. Mr. Vecchio went above and beyond and helped my husband obtain 50/50 shared custody of his daughter. We are now in the process of obtaining physical custody. Mr. Vecchio is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and will fight for you! We are out of state and he has made the process so easy for us! I highly recommend Mr. Vecchio!

During our divorce Robert was more concerned with the lies he heard from my wife than representing me to gain custody of my daughter. He said on multiple occasions that the mother should automatically be granted more rights and the majority of the custody and thought nothing wrong of it. He also gave me some false legal advice that ended up backfiring. He was also having private conversations with my wife's lawyer and when I asked to be included in the emails he informed me that there are certain private matters that go on between two attorneys that would be inappropriate for the client to see. I could go on for a lost time describing all the things he did that were shady and wrong but I'll just say this, 2 weeks after hiring my new lawyer I had 50/50 custody of my daughter after barley seeing her for 6 months. Save yourself some trouble and pick someone else for your divorce lawyer unless you are a female I suppose.

No communication and no updates. So far it’s been almost a 2 year journey with this law firm, and I have absolutely no clue whatsoever where they are in my case. My calls and texts go ignored, my case manger has changed twice. And I’ve been told the lawyer is going to contact me for roughly 3 months now. I have not heard from the lawyer since I was initially contacted by him about my accident. I honestly feel the firm could care less about my case and situation. The last thing I was told was the lawyer is looking at my file, that’s after being told he would contact me a week or so prior. Which he did not.

I have tried to separate from them two months ago but they never responded now out of complete frustration and being ignored having no clue what's going on in my case. Now I'm forced fill out Bar Association and BBB complaint. I can't believe a lawyer office acts like this smh.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals.
