I had been dreading this task for the usual reasons (don't want to think about dying, worried about family dissension, etc.), but Mr. Vinson supplied ample verve, sensitivity, and good humor, along with exceptional professional expertise, to make the process as pain-free as it could possibly be. At the outset, Susan and I had no clear idea of what we were doing or even what we actually wanted to accomplish. But Mr. Vinson's insightful questions, laying out of options, thorough discussion of pros and cons, demystification of probate law and estate planning, and exploration of alternative outcomes clarified for us the different choices we might make and the possible outcomes of those choices. Ably assisted by his partner/Office Manager/spouse, Mr. Vinson prepared necessary documents for us along with clear instructions on how to proceed going forward. He also made an offer (still open) to meet individually with any of our seven children in case they need help understanding the structure of the Trust and their place in the arrangements. I'll mention parenthetically that the whole effort was, to my mind, surprisingly affordable. In short, working with Mr. Vinson and his Office has provided my wife and me with great peace of mind and the sense that we have provided for our children and grandchildren as best we can.

I knew Mark from his involvement with the Ohio State football saturdays at Ohio Stadium. I since…read morewhen on to compete professionally and am now a team scout and coordinator. I was in financial distress, and it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions . That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more. When I first contacted him for bankruptcy, Mark explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that needed to be done. He was knowledgable as well. He filed my bankruptcy case and I was very pleased with the services that were provided by Mark and his office. I was just served on Christmas Eve with a summons for another matter and I did not seriously expect a return call from the office until Monday. Well, Mark called me back on Christmas Day. And he was on his way to his family gathering where he was going to play the piano for his relatives. I had previously used him for a bankruptcy situation and the case was flawless. He had thoroughly reviewed my debts and income and filed very quickly. Because of his excellent work in getting my case filed, my credit reports all revealed that all my bills were covered by my bankruptcy. When I received the notice of my recent lawsuit for another type of case, I knew that i could reach out to Mark to get straight, honest advice, because that is exactly what he had provided in the past. Again, he reached out to me on the holiday and within 10 minutes he guided me in the right direction. I was able to attend my family gatherings with confidence that the bogus lawsuit filed against me would be taken care of. I am still surprised that he called me when he is a very busy person, even in this pandemic that will not go away. But clearly Mark cares. I simply do not understand some of the other reviews about his abilities, when I clearly have had numerous good experiences with Mark and his law firm. Mark is a good person with excellent fundamentals in both his profession and his personal dealings. This is remarkable in todays world. He is also a busy piano player during the holiday seasons, but he still called me and shared his time with me. I am most impressed with this type of work ethic. Thank you again, and Merry Christmas to Mark!!

Jim is, by far, the most exceptional, knowledgeable and professional attorney that I've had the pleasure of working with. He is thorough, leaving no stone unturned, and takes the time to actually listen to the clients needs, never rushing them allowing them to explain their situation. You don't find that mannerism often. I admire his honesty and willingness to fight for his clients, remaining open to suggestions and other avenues to explore if needed. When I needed legal advice, Jim immediately called me after hours and met with me the following day. Any time I come across someone needing legal counsel, he is my "go to" first. It's hard to find someone with integrity that you can actually trust with your life and future when it comes to competent representation, and I proudly give Jim that title.

My charges were eventually dropped dismissed thanks to James. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome of my case. Having to choose again, I would hire him without hesitation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a competent and professional attorney who gets results.

We were recommended to this firm by our local family attorney who met Mr Petroff at a training. They mentioned he was a great man. Well we were assigned Elizabeth Mitchell due to the nature of our case. She has a lot of experience with child services cases we were dealing with. I have to say Elizabeth is very communicative and intelligent when it comes to family law. She was in constant communication with my husband and myself. She made sure to keep us updated with every change in the case. Elizabeth is definitely meant for this line of work. If you need a firm who will fight extremely hard for your family this is it right here. I loved working with them. Thanks again!
