The most important aspect of a lawyer is to communicate, she does not return numerous phone calls, thus your inputs are ignored. Save yourself alot of money, look for another lawyer that will actually call you back and listen to your needs.

As a beneficiary of my parents' trust, I hired Reminger Attorney Adriann Mcgee to represent me. I needed someone to look out for my best interests; someone to protect me against the heinous actions of my brother (the successor trustee), who is unjustly administering the trust after the deaths of our parents; someone to help me navigate through the provisions of the trust document; etc..... What I got in Reminger Attorney Adriann Mcgee was someone who was incompetent throughout her representation of me, and someone who has left me in a worse position than I was in before I hired her.
Soon after she was hired, Adriann Mcgee said defamatory / derogatory statements about me to the opposing party, statements that no attorney should express about a client to anyone, ever. I did not find out what Ms. Mcgee had said about me until several months later when I read her defamatory / derogatory statements in a motion that the opposing party had filed with the court during the course of my lawsuit. After that, the opposing party continued to use those defamatory / derogatory statements said by Ms. Mcgee against me over, and over, and over, in subsequent motions that he filed with the court, and also, at the court hearings.
During her representation of me, Adriann Mcgee did not give me proper legal advice, and failed to present me with all of my options pertaining to a provision in my parents' trust regarding the cancellation of a mortgage that is held by my deceased parents on my property. After she no longer represented me, I was told that as a "courtesy", I would receive a satisfaction of mortgage document drawn up by Ms. Mcgee. The satisfaction of mortgage document that I received contained numerous mistakes, and I had to edit the document in order to correct Ms. Mcgee's errors. Even after I corrected Ms. Mcgee's numerous mistakes, the document itself was useless under my circumstances. Deceased people cannot sign documents, so, it was an absolutely inappropriate document that I could not use, something that a competent attorney would have known. I have done my own research, and according to The Ohio Revised Codes Statute 5301.30, mortgages expire after a certain amount of time. I can just wait for my mortgage to expire, so, it is not necessary to have an attorney draw up legal documents to cancel it, a fact that Ms. Mcgee failed to mention. A competent attorney would have been familiar with The Ohio Revised Codes Statutes regarding mortgages in order to provide a client with all of the available options, and not just mention the options that an attorney can profit from.
Adriann Mcgee failed to file an action in court for The Ohio Revised Codes Statute 2108.81, as she should have done. This is a significant blunder that a competent attorney would not have made. Ms. Mcgee's failure to file an action in court for The Ohio Revised Codes Statute 2108.81 has left my deceased parents, and me, with devastating consequences. Her incompetence has allowed my brother to inter our parents' ashes in a place that they never would have chosen, that they never would have agreed to, and a place that I would have objected to had I been consulted, as I should have been according to The Ohio Revised Codes Statute 2108.81.
Adriann Mcgee made arrangements for something that I specifically told her not to make. By doing what I specifically told her not to do, Ms. Mcgee set off a chain of events that ended very badly.
In order to deceive a colleague, Adriann Mcgee altered an email regarding my case. This has made me wonder if Ms. Mcgee has falsified any other documents.
These are just a handful of the numerous issues that I have had with Reminger Attorney Adriann Mcgee.
If you ever need an attorney, do yourself a favor, and hire someone else.

Ms. McGee worked on my case with Mr. Adam Fried. She prepared a draft of a complaint on my behalf. I was impressed the way the complaint she drafted. Towards the end she continued to communicate with me while I was on a family vacation updating the status on my case and relentlessly pursued the negotiations on my behalf and even had a courier hand deliver my inheritance from a trust.

Alex and his firm came highly recommended to my fiancé and I. Despite the glowing recommendations, in addition to Alex, we met with other immigration attorneys, before making official what we knew after meeting Alex — that he was our guy.
As a practicing attorney, I had a very good idea as to how the relationship should proceed. Alex exceeded our expectations. Not only was his work-product excellent, he was communicative and accesible to answer our questions. Because of our time-zone difference (15 hours) Alex schedule telephonic and zoom calls at odd hours to accommodate us. Whenever documents were delivered to his office, he’d call us to explain the communication, sometimes before we even opened it.
When it came time for our interview, Alex put us at ease with his calm demeanor as he laid out for us, step-by-step, what we should expect. It also helped that immigration officers knew Alex by name and had an expectation that his files would already be in order.
At a time when hugs weren’t freely given or accepted, my wife and I - eternally grateful for his efforts - gave Alex a hug for helping our family in very uncertain times.

Attorney Cuic was my immigration lawyer for a span of over 5 years. In this time he was always very welcoming, honest, thorough, diligent and direct.... He always reviewed all my options with me and always continued to advocate for me even when my status became more complicated. I was very lucky to have him by my side through this whole process, and couldn't have asked for anyone better.

Andrew and his team are first class attorney's. I have hired them to represent me, and I couldn't be more pleased with the counsel they have provided. They have been thorough, empathetic, and have represented my best interests in what has been the most difficult time in my life. Andrew won't tell me what I want to hear. He gives me facts, his opinion, and options to consider. He likes to think "outside the box" to achieve the goals I have. He emphasizes that I am always in control of the strategy. He and his team make you feel as if you are the firm's only client. He works and fights exceptionally hard for his clients. If he can't help you, he'll tell you on the first meeting. He's that kind of person. I would hire him and his team again in a New York minute. You are in good hands with Andrew.

His response time to emails and phone calls is without question lightning speed, while his knowledge of the law is impeccable.
Mr. Andrew Zashin has a FIVE-STAR rating for a reason!

Since my collaborative process has been a disaster, I contacted Andrew as a litigation resource and potential attorney. Unlike his reputation as a “pit-bull” and getting results, Andrew could not have been kinder, compassionate and intelligent during his conversation with me. He has immense knowledge and experience and directed me in a very straightforward manner. I left the meeting with increased knowledge and empowerment.
