Drove up from out of state for a family reunion. Ohio State Troopers were out en masse for a Labor Day ticket bonanza. I'm good at dodging those... usually. But this time I got speeding ticket from a State Trooper who is smarter than the Waze app. (He used moving radar, got me on I-71 at mile marker 34, which is not half a mile from where the speed limit raises from 65 to 75. This guy knows exactly how to game the system.) Working with Attorney JR Bernans was a breeze. He advised me on the current state of the local prosecutor (some recent personnel changes at the courthouse added some nuance to the case. We discussed strategies, and probable outcomes. And while I know that everyone will not be as fortunate as I in their legal disputes, JR was able to reduce my speeding ticket to a nonmoving violation. This guy is GOOD at his job. Took all of the hassle and stress out of the equation for me. ac And while I can't vouch for the firm at large, I expect that if they attract talented attorneys like JR, working with Rittgers and Rittgers is probably going to be a great experience for you. It certainly was for me. read more

Emily M. Cochran-Desantis is superior! Had a custody situation where I needed help during difficult covid circumstances with limited access to court enforcement. Emily prevailed for me against strong opposition that resulted in exactly what I needed but would have been helpless to secure on my own. Emily is compassionate empathetic super smart and creative and more than able to "put the hammer down" for her clients. Emily came highly recommended to me from a super credible source.. and I'm only too happy to add my strongest endorsement. If you need a hotshot, Emily will get it done for you. read more

When I got in my car accident they were probably one of the only companies that didn't harass me with general marketing spam. I was injured from an accident due to an uninsured driver's mistakes and Rittgers & Rittgers was quite literally the only group of people that didn't give me the run-around. Thanks to attorney Michael Weisensel and especially Daphne Mahle I was able to heal and still have someone fighting on my behalf. By the end of my case, they were able to give me my maximum settlement from my insurance policy for my injuries. They are worth giving a call, I am truly grateful to them. read more

After another member of my family used the services of Rittgers and Rittgers due to an OVI charge with outstanding results, I called for a consultation regarding some issues I had in my former place of employment. I spoke with Charlie Rittgers who was extremely helpful, and listened carefully to my concerns about some activities going on in my place of employment at the time. We scheduled a meeting with another attorney who specialized in employment law. One of my former managers came along, and we had a meeting with Charlie and the employment attorney. They were extremely patient and considered all of the information we gave them. After speaking at length, they offered their legal advice based upon what we had said and offered some suggestions. It was an extremely positive experience. First of all, I really appreciated Charlie taking the time out of his day to come to the meeting and offer his advice during the consultation. I knew he was giving honest advice, not just telling us what we wanted to hear, or building a case where there wasn't one. Due to my own experience, and the outstanding experience of my family member, there is no other law firm I would recommend. Another family friend experienced an issue with a citation and potential OVI charges. I told him to go to Rittgers and Rittgers and thankfully he took my advice, because the end result was better than he could have hoped for. Just today, a friend of mine was involved in a car accident, and I immediately contacted Charlie, who gave me some information and said they would be more than happy to speak with my friend about what had happened. I just want to emphasize how much this group of attorneys truly cares about their clients. In some cases when you are seeking legal advice, it may mean that you've done something you aren't proud of. There is no need to worry about that. If you are looking for a judgment free environment with attorneys you can trust, there is only one law firm to consider: Rittgers and Rittgers. read more

I hired with Steve Kilburn, Rittgers & Rittgers , for my juvenile son who was charged with a motor vehicle offense.

He explained the paths that the judge could take and what he would try to negotiate. Steve represented us well and was able to get driving privileges and the minimum suspension for my son. I would recommend Steve to anyone who required services for a juvenile offender. read more

I was in an auto accident which was not my fault. I knew I needed a lawyer to help with my case. It can be a shot in the dark just picking a lawyer out of a google search, but I feel I made a fantastic choice with Eric from Rittgers & Rittgers. His assistant Daphne was a joy to work with and kept me updated on the status of the claim. I ended up settling and am very happy with the results.. I fully recommend their services. read more

I could not have asked for a better attorney. Steve Kilburn responded quickly, both initially and as we prepared our case. He made sure I understood my option. He recommended what he thought was my best course of action and explained why. It was also clear that he had the trust and respect of the court. He is a knowledgeable professional, his fees are more than reasonable, and he is a genuinely decent guy. I recommend him highly. read more

Stephen Kilburn represented me in court. I was referred to Rittgers & Rittgers by a friend and couldn't be happier for choosing them. I faced an OVI conviction and Steve was very informative in the process. I was confident I chose the right attorney when I first met him in court. He knew his was around the courtroom and seemed to have a positive dialogue with the prosecutor from the get go. He was straight forward and to the point of what could happen but explained the process of resolving the issue. Steve was always a phone call or email away with any questions. His price was more than reasonable with the amount of attention and time he gave to my case. I would highly recommend going with this firm and would request Steve in the process. read more
