Carrie Waide did an incredible job with my daughter's custody case…read more Her expertise, dedication, and compassion were unwavering, and ultimately resulted in a favorable outcome for my daughter. Carrie was extremely responsive, proactive, and prioritized my daughter's well-being throughout the process. I really couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent us through one of the most difficult times in our lives. Her experience as a magistrate gives her a unique perspective in advising clients in both litigated and collaborative matters. Carrie truly takes the time to understand her clients' goals and interests to assess their needs to determine an appropriate course of action to reach the best possible outcome for their family. I'm immensely grateful for Carrie's guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking repesentation in family court.

This past year to year and a half I have had a lot of issues with my ex-wife. To the point that I…read morefiled numerous motions of contempt against her and she filed 1 against me. Ultimately we were told to find the services of a GAL to try and help figure out what is best for the children. The GAL we had could not be bothered to verbally speak to teachers at the children's schools even though she was asked to numerous times. When she finally did reach out to the school to verbally speak to anyone she still didn't speak to the teachers that were asked of her. Instead she sent questionnaires based on what she thought should be asked I guess. I called this GAL numerous times and left voicemails without a single call back. I feel as though the GAL was extremely bias as in she kept putting in her reports that she understands why mom feels this way or she can see the reasons behind this but completely disregarded anything mom did to dad. The GAL didn't even call witnesses until right before the original report was due and didn't put any of this in the report but I guess she only did the calls so she could say she did and bill for it. My ex-wife and I had to go through mediation per court order in which the GAL talked about being professional with the mediator and said that we need to reply within 24 hours of messages. According to this our GAL is unprofessional. The GAL tried to change my schedule even though mom works from home and has an extremely flexible job where as I don't and i have a rotating day job. The day of court my ex-wife sent me a message that was completely inappropriate and the GAL came and talked to me saying i need to be more clear with what I need even though I asked for the whole bill that i need to see exactly what this is for (obviously a bill that we had to share the cost of.) I would not recommend this law firm for anything if they operate anything like the GAL did. The GAL didn't have where my son was born correctly in the report, called me by a different name at one point in the report, and just didn't seem to be bothered with actually getting any information from third parties or myself. Lack of communication, professionalism, and the inability to look for whats best for the children was truly sad.

She is soooo helpful and responsive and especially if you have a child with special needs there is absolutely no one who will do a better job of advocating for your child's welfare.

I cannot say enough about the Russell & Ireland Group…read more In 2017, my wife and kids were in a horrific car accident where a driver was speeding and hit my wife's car head on crossing into their lane. Long story short, it was a bad situation where my son needed significant surgery. When I searched on yelp for an attorney in desperation, I discovered Adam Russell and Russell & Ireland Law Group. Adam was a complete game changer for me at a time when I didn't need to be thinking about a legal situation. 1. Adam Listens, period. First and foremost, he is a family man and puts himself in your shoes. He embodies your situation from the get go, asks questions first, and formulates a clear action plan for you. 2. Adam is knowledgeable. He is extremely familiar with the judicial system, the players in the courts, and the legal system. I always felt confident he could navigate the situation well so I could focus on my 3 year old son in the ICU. 3. Adam is persistent. To be honest, we were under covered from an insurance standpoint (this was my fault) but he looked across all avenues to get what was fair for my family and massively reduced the medical bills from my son's surgery and weeks in the ICU by working with my health care insurance company. I called him today (in 2023, 6 years later!) to ask him a follow up question and he still remembered our case and was happy to help. This is a stand up company in every possible way. Their values show up in their work, effort, and how they treat their clients. I would recommend them 100% every day.

Then an appeal of the first decision, and then followed by an appeal to district court. I sadly had three other attorneys before him through the divorce and for this case and appeals, it was such a struggle. In this case the fourth time was a charm! Stephen is absolutely amazing! As the cases went along I was more and more impressed by his shining knowledge of the law. He knew exactly what to present for each component of the case. He was brilliant in the courtroom, very professional, very polite, and kept his composure even through the rudeness and attack of the opposing lawyer. His integrity is very obvious, he would say, let's take the high road. And he did. As we moved along through the case and Appeals my trust in him grew to 100%! After having other lawyers that I did not feel confident in, it was such a relief to know that he was an excellent litigator! I was always extremely impressed with his knowledge of the law, he would just rattle things off, with Ohio Revised codes that applied specifically to a point of the case. He definitely knew case law,which is very important. Stephen was also very compassionate, kind, and truly understood what I was going through. He would always explain the law and the methods he was going to use so that I was fully aware of what was going on. Stephen always made sure I was prepared for any trial part. When I was upset he was always very helpful, and gave me encouragement. Even a few times when I would question him and not be sure he would take that in stride and very kindly explain why it had to be a certain way to be within the parameters of the law. I always felt very supported by him and enjoyed his easy communication skills. I cannot recommend Stephen enough! Considering how long it takes to move the Case and Appeals through the Court system, I was so glad that he was the lawyer that I had chosen to represent me through it all. Also a big shout out to the staff at Lampe Law for handling appointments, financials and communications so smoothly and nicely.

They took the first payment and he was granted a continuance in court. My 28 year old son unexpectedly died of a heart attack on the morning that the second large payment was to be paid. The payment came out of the account automatically and I called the firm and politely explained why he would no longer be needing their assistance and could they please refund that payment as now I have some even larger funeral arrangement payments to make. They said no, I have the voicemail stating that they still needed to work on his case and would absolutely not be refunding even part of the payment. I'm a hundred percent sure that I could have notified the court of his passing and I am the only one that could have provided them with proof, so I'm still unsure as to what part of his case they still needed money to work on as the individual attorney would not respond to my calls regarding his case, and yes he had given prior permission to talk to me. I thought about this for almost two months before posting it here to make sure that I wasn't reacting out of anger in the moment. I feel this is just not the right thing to do, and sadly this money was the difference between being able to bury my child or not.
