As I read a lot of reviews. You guys need to remember we are not their only client. Being a paralegal and lawyer is a lot of paperwork and usually a huge waiting game fighting back and forth with insurances. Give these guys credit! Rebecca and John have really helped me in my case and are working hard to get me the max.injury outcome I deserve. I love them both...

Mr. Acciani was very supportive in our "fight with our insurance company"which we have had since 1963! This happened out of state
and was very time consuming.
.
And I called him again for a personal injury at local shopping center in
1915. He is very knowledgeble, caring and understanding.I would highly recommend him.

The lawyers that handled my case were professional. With their experience they knew what questions to ask to get the information they needed; they advised me as to the steps I needed to take; I was advised to deal directly with them and not to act according to what I thought; they kept me informed while they were handling my case and because of the efficient way they transact business I was able to gather, organize and submit my paperwork in a timely manner. I am satisfied with the final results.

Chris was a lucky find for me. I was rear-ended lightly, but due to some rare medical conditions, i was injured well over what the average person would be. Not only did he overcome this, but i was awarded the maximum allowed on both policies. Chris is a fine man and any case he takes on will be handled professionally, intelligently, and efficiently, but most of all ethically. As a negotiator and litigator he is a fighter. As your attorney he is honest and a greater leader throughout the process. He will always be my go to!

Chris came to see me at the medical office where I was treated for my neck and head injuries. So I didn't have to drive to Downtown Cincinnati to meet with him. He consistently followed up with my doctors and was very organized in acquiring all of the information needed for my case, and following up with the insurance company. He did not waste any time!
In a world of "ambulance chasers" Chris is the exception. He was wonderfully kind and respectful. He repeatedly demonstrated a genuine concern for me.
He is very well established in the legal field and comports himself with integrity. He's a real attorney among the "ambulance chasers!"
My settlement was MORE that what I had expected. He did a great job!

I was seriously injured in a car wreck. Matt Nakajima did a tremendous job on my behalf. He kept me informed about my case, he promptly returned my calls and worked tirelessly to get me a fair settlement. I would recommend Matt to anyone in need of a great attorney.

I was in a terrible car accident and Matt helped me so much! He was always available to take my calls and answered every question I had. He worked with me and my parents to resolve all the issues I had with the Insurance companies after my car accident. If I am ever in this position again I will definitely give Matt a call!

With all the crap my insurance company put me through Scott got me what I needed. Other driver had no insurance so my company needed to pay. That's what I paid then uninsured coverage for. Scott had to fight them all the way. They acted like it was my fault this jerk came across the center line and hit me.
Thanks Scott for opening up that can of woopass!

Following a catastrophic auto accident I retained Scott Mullins to represent me in a complicated case wherein I sued my insurance carrier. We met strong opposition from the opposing parties but because of Scott's outstanding skills and knowledge of the law we prevailed and were highly successful.

Mr. Mullins was always well prepared and took the time to understand my case thoroughly. He also explained my options clearly and was always in communication with my hospital/providers to lower my bills as to create a large return for pain/inconvenience. Customer service skills are unsurpassed with Mr. Mullins. I could alsways get in touch with him when I called his office and the fact that he has multiple offices he can meet clients is a huge benefit when coordinating meeting times with clients who do not work/live close to Cincinnati! Highly recommended!

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.

If you want the best representation, I would highly recommend hiring Rittger Rittger and Nakajima. Matt, Gus and Suzie are the best at what they do!! They are thorough and professional litigators, but more importantly they were sympathetic to our case and determined to get justice for our family. In a short amount of time, they fought hard to settle our Wrongful Death & Survival case, involving a commercial vehical, and we will forever be grateful!!!

I was in a car accident and it was known the other driver was 100% at fault. I was hesitant to hire a firm to represent me at first, but it was the best decision I made. A well-known insurance company fought me throughout the whole process. I would have been lost without my attorney Jake Cropper and his paralegal Collette. Throughout every tactic the insurance company threw at us, Jake was there not only to fight for me, but to also walk alongside me and guide me through this stressful situation. Jake and his team were able to secure a settlement that was beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Jake and his team at Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima to anyone and everyone.

As the owner of multiple restaurants, I was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional support and knowledge Durst Kerridge provided in employment law matters. Lawyers from the firm visited each restaurant and really got to know the business, which ended up being very useful. In the end, they helped me avoid litigation altogether.

My lawyer was Rebecca and at time it felt like my Xwife had 2 lawyers and I had 0. I lost EVERY TIME I went to court. I know in divorce and custody hearings somebody always feels they got the short end of the stick on certain things. But I got the short end on everything. I’m a great father to my kids.

I just want to thank Rebecca and Emily for the overwhelming support and advice throughout the time working with them. I finally felt heard and understood!
Thank you again for everything! This is firm is truly amazing!!

I’ve worked with Corey Asay on an unpaid wages claim against my former employer.

Corey was an excellent attorney and I highly recommend working with him.

Alan Spivak and his team have been so helpful. I was in three different car accidents within a three-year period, and Alan took care of all three for me. Alan and his team went above and beyond taking care of all the legal stuff while I took care of myself. He helped me find an amazing doctor when my own doctors just threw expensive procedures at me. Alan treated me like family; we had constant contact, and he never left me in the dark about anything. Alan and his team fought for me and got me a fair settlement. I would highly recommend him and his law firm to all my friends and family.

Alan Spivak was recommended by a good friend. I'm glad I consulted and hired Alan. I had a complicated hit and run car accident (recovering from heart surgery and a brain hemmorrhage) that made it necessary to contract a lawyer. Alan made the end result so satisfying and up to my expectations. I recommend him and thank you!

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.

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.

GET THERE BEFORE 3:45pm OR GET A DOOR SLAMMED IN YOUR FACE.
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.
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.

Lawrence represented me in a case I already felt he over charged me for. I recently had another attorney look over my case and we are reopening my case because the investigation that was originally done was horrible. The prosecutor put that they interviewed a witness and the witness was deceased on the dates they said they interviewed her in their reports. They also added that I had 14 different bank accounts which could’ve easily been discredited. I would’ve came out better with a public defender. I paid a lot of money to this man in cash and upfront never again will I ever trust another attorney especially this one!!

I could go on and on about Lawrence. He is an amazing person and truly cares about each and every client. He always came to see me while I was in jail. Never had questions, because he informed me in detail of everything. Prepped me and always have had good outcomes with him. I would never got to anyone else for legal matters, nor let my friends or family go anywhere else. He is definitely top in my book!

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:
- Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
- Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
- Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
- Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
- Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.
Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.
What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?
A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
- Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
- Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
- Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
- Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.
How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
- Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
- Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.
Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer
Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome. -
How long will the process take?
Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What types of damages can I recover?
Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
- Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
- Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
- Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
- Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
- Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
