I had the privilege of being represented by Virginia Cornwell in my divorce, and I cannot recommend…read moreher highly enough. From beginning to end, she handled my case with professionalism, dedication, and compassion. While the process was far longer and more stressful than I anticipated--largely due to constant delays from opposing counsel--Virginia stayed focused and worked tirelessly to keep my case moving forward. In fact, she often did more to bring the matter to resolution than the opposing side, to the point where I believe even my ex began to trust that Virginia was working harder toward a fair conclusion than her own lawyer. I am certain that if I had chosen anyone else, my case would have dragged on much longer. Virginia and her paralegal, Nicole, consistently gave me honest, straightforward answers and went above and beyond to help me manage not just the legal process, but the emotional challenges as well. Their support helped me stay grounded during what was easily the most difficult time of my life. What sets Virginia apart is that she truly cares about her clients. I never felt like just another case file on her desk--she genuinely cared about guiding me through one of my darkest chapters. She and Nicole were a constant source of light and reassurance when I needed it most. If you are facing divorce or any of the other legal matters Virginia handles, I strongly encourage you to call her. By the end of your case, you will know you made the right decision having her on your side.

Virginia handled my divorce/ child custody case during the pandemic which was added stressor for my…read moresituation. I came to find out how slow the process can be. Every time Virginia needed to give me legal advice or perform an action to protect and or strengthen my case she was there and usually met or exceeded my expectations. I was impressed by how she took key points from my case for the short non-oral hearings with the magistrate. She does not pomp you up for things you want to happen but are unlikely. She is pretty straight forward with her assessment of the case and potential outcomes. Even with the pandemic I did not feel like she downgraded her attention to my case while having other clients and or obvious personal obstacles that would arise during that time. I highly recommend her for full complex divorce or for just legal counsel in mediation.

Rating = 0/0 I had…read morethe most unprofessional experience with the Workmens Compensation lawyer Kurt Knisley. He violated several parts of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct by threatening to put a lien on my claim, not once, but twice, for simply asking questions and expressing concerns. He violated the following core rules: Rule 1.2 (Scope of representation; allocation of authority) The client decides the objectives of representation, including whether to settle; the lawyer must consult with the client about means and keep the client reasonably informed. Rule 1.4 (Communication)Requires the lawyer to keep the client reasonably informed and to explain matters so the client can make informed decisions. Violation: Kurt Knisley did not inform me nor provide the details of the settlement demand until after the document was sent to the Respondent. He provided no option for the demand letter to be tailored according to my needs. Kurt threatened to withdraw as counsel and to place a lien on my claim in response to me asking him why this was done. Kurt Knisley decided to try to intimidate, instead of communicating and consulting. Rule 1.5 (Fees)Fees and expenses must be reasonable, and any lien for fees must be based on a valid fee agreement and applicable law. Violation: Kurt Knisley used the lien primarily as leverage to silence my concerns. This is inconsistent with the requirement that fee practices be fair and reasonable. Rule 1.16 (Declining or terminating representation)Lists when a lawyer may withdraw but requires withdrawal to be done in a way that protects the client's interests. Violation: Kurt Knisley used the threat of withdrawal and lien in a way that materially harmed my case simply because I challenged his strategy and asked questions. Rule 8.4 (Misconduct)Prohibits conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, and conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice. Violation:The lien threat was knowingly misleading about Kurt Knisley's actual intention and was mainly used to coerce me into silence or agreement. I would not recommend Kurt for any Workmens Compensation case on these grounds. Kurts threats were retaliatory and coercive. A lawyer should not try to punish a client simply for disagreeing or asking questions. After all, it is a lawyers responsibility to keep clients informed, and represent their lawful objectives diligently.

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!!

I've never used an attorney before and Raina made everything easy, very professional and flexible on meeting after work, etc. She even provided a checklist for other areas to consider outside the legal process. Raina did everything ahead of schedule and I was all set after one short meeting (she provided forms to fill out ahead of our meeting which saved a lot of back and forth). Highly recommend her as someone who is personable, easy to talk with, trustworthy and works efficiently throughout the legal process.

I had a judge who was very displeased with me, an attorney who wasn't representing me and hurting my case and I was terrified. Ron accepted my case when no other attorney in Columbus would help. He was able to place me in a much better standing with our judge and saved my case. I wouldn't have won anything if it wasn't for him. His firm saw me as a person; not a billable number. They are calm, professional and truly care about you and your family. Not only does this firm aggressively and assertively work for the best interest of your family; but they provide logical, no-nonsense guidance. There is no other firm who will be there for your family the way that Petroff Law Offices will. I can never thank this firm enough. When they work for you; you'll understand why.

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!
