It is IMPOSSIBLE to Find Better Council I have no way of truly stating or defining the fact that in your darkest moment as a father facing divorce, fear and anger develop. I was in this situation and needed to find a good attorney. Let me re-phrase this.... I needed to find the BEST attorney. And by luck, I did. Mr. Hartley and his team are magicians with a flair of aggression to do the right thing. There has never been a moment where relief felt so outstanding knowing that Mr. Hartley was my sword and shield. My divorce was in the least, contentious. Mr. Hartley navigated these waters with ease and absolutely pummeled anything in his path. I retained almost everything I was fighting for myself and my daughter in what I considered a "vanilla" divorce(house, 401K, rental unit, but most of all, final decision maker for my daughter). Some may say that this sounds easy, but it is not! And I do believe that there is a right way to fight a case where a father is fighting for his child. Mr. Hartley provided EXACTLY that. The wide expanse of knowledge and capability of Mr. Hartley knows no bounds. He definitely pushes beyond any normal human for his clients. The precision and timing of action is everything and to be honest, I do not believe that Mr. Hartley sleeps at all. He was available anytime and the guidance was impeccable. There should be a movie made about this attorney. His preparation and subsequent pouncing in a courtroom is exactly that....out of a movie. The difference is, it IS reality and that diamond you are looking for is located in Kettering, OH. As a father, I reigned in the outcome (which these days does not seem possible). I have final authority on just about everything related to my daughter. The future is hers thanks to Mr. Hartley and his team. And I am telling anyone reading this....If you are in a similar situation, I wouldn't trust ANYONE else. Navigation of the Courts Skill: 10+ Client in mind: 10+ Staffing: 10 Understanding of your needs: 10+ Availability: 10+

Where do I even begin? Mr. Hartley and his team were on top of things since day one. If you work with him, he will definitely go above and beyond to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Don't waste his time, and he will most certainly not waste yours. Him and his team were always very professional, communicated constantly, and would listen to you and your concerns. When Mr. Hartley says to not worry about something, even if it might seem a bit off at the moment, he knows what he's talking about He goes straight to the point, and will not sugarcoat anything for you. Sometimes truth can be a hard pill to swallow, but rest assured that the way he sees the situation is in the best interest of his clients, in every aspect (mentally, emotionally, financially etc.). The way he is able to keep composure and be on top of everything, not to mention at the speed he and his team operate, is simply insane (in a good way of course). I'm very glad that I chose Mr. Hartley and his team! They helped make this process a smooth one and if it came down to it, I would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Aaron is a passionate attorney and compassionate counselor. He handled my divorce two and half years ago, and when I called him today, he knew me, and he remembered my case. He offered advice and reassurance for a possible custody dispute. He reiterated his dedication to me, my kids, and what is best for my family. Aaron is attentive to my needs. He is meticulous and methodical, and he will fight for you no matter your situation or the details involved. Aaron is absolutely in your corner, and I will sleep better tonight knowing I can always call him.

If you’re looking for a gladiator then you’ve found him! If you want a straight up lawyer that’s gonna tell you what you need to know then he is it. Aaron Hartley and his staff are never playing around when it comes to a case. I wish I had hired him years ago! He took a clusterf*** and fixed it quick. He gets results! Something to note though, Aaron does not beat around bush about anything. If constructive criticism offends you then you’re going to have a hard time seeing his point. Trust me, he put my expectations in check more than once. This is his career and this is what he excels at. Trust him. Listen to him, even if it’s not what you want to hear. You may not like what he says but he knows what he is doing. Be ready to hear some of what is going on with him, it’s not mock you or make you feel like your case is less serious than his. It’s to make a point- pick your battles so you can win the war. Aaron will see you through the end and he will not lead you astray. Let me put it to you this way, do you want a lawyer that’s gonna let you get rolled or do you want one that is gonna roll your opponent and get you want you want (within reason people)? Be prepared to be expected to bring your all to the game. Give him credible info and back it up with proof and he will back the opposing counsel down. Aaron has an alpha personality and alphas do not like lose. That is the type of lawyer you want if you want to win.

I retained Mr Hartley for 2 issues. Both times, he and his staff went above and beyond. He's extremely knowledgeable and quick. He knows what he's talking about. They're very responsive at that office. I never had to wait around for an answer. Somehow, they always make the time. I'd recommend Mr Hartley to anyone needing expert representation.

We had a last minute need for a family attorney and called Mr. Langhals office. While he was unable to take on his case due to the last minute nature of our request, his office associate in the office responded to multiple calls from us and gave us more than plenty of time and guidance in finding good representation. A remarkably selfless woman with a wealth of knowledge in his office!!!

Matt was absolutely amazing. I’ve dealt with quite a few lawyers in my life and he is the best by far. Very knowledgeable and down to earth. He will explain everything in fine detail. Worth every penny!!

Matt was great to work with. He kept me updated all the time on what the next step was . I would recommend him to any who needs a great divorce attorney or custody issue divorce.

Matthew is not only amazing at the work he does, he is all around a great person!! He is completely honest with you from all aspects. And when it’s something you don’t want to hear, he’s so positive and supports you on making it right! I’ve asked him numerous odd questions and he is always there to help me with an answer. Matthew is very professional and will assist you with any concerns. I would highly recommend him as a lawyer! Thank you Matthew for all you do!!

I called Matt and he answered on the 2nd ring. He asked me to tell him a little about what I was going through. He explained to me the steps that could happen in my dissolution. He makes everything easy and took a lot of the stress off and made me feel comfortable about hiring him.

Mr. Kruse is an excellent attorney!! He's fair, and doesn't hold back. I've referred family and friends to him and their law firm. Well worth the cost, unlike other attorneys (will remain nameless) you'll not be sorry if you hire this law firm

Mr. Kirkland is hands down an amazing, experienced, and knowledgeable attorney! He’s represented me before and I had the outcome I wanted. He’s currently representing me again and I have faith in him and his expertise. I have also recommended my family members to seek counsel from him and I don’t do that unless I am fairly confident that they will be as pleased and well taken care of as I was.

Hired Craig Sams to represent me during post degree filings. Mr. Sams talked a great game during the hiring process until it came time to actually accomplish anything. He was arrogant, dismissive and rude on more than one occasion. To say it is all about the money is an understatement when dealing with this firm ($55 to forward an email with no explanation or thoughts, just hit send). Kirkland & Sommers needs to realize that they are not doing a customer a favor by representing them, it is actually the other way around. I have been taken for $2800 and I am no closer to having my issue resolved.

Professional and very knowledgeable

Mr. Kirkland was recommended to us and he did an excellent job! He understand our case when no other attorney did. He put in a lot of work doing research in our case and he did an excellent job in the court room. The communication was also great although we are a military family and we live out of state. Mr. Kirkland's number will always be on speed dial, he became a friend! We can highly recommend Mr. Kirkland and his law office.

I used Doug Dougherty for my divorce in June 2010. I have found out over the years how well my divorce was written and handled with interactions between us and my husband's attorneys at the time. Doug was always very professional and timely in his responses to issues pertaining to my divorce and with interactions with the other attorneys. I have had instances where my ex has tried to change how things are done, and due to the way my divorce was written, he couldn't do it. Doug made sure my divorce decree covered me now and in the future, should something happen to my ex-husband. I feel very fortunate to have had Doug as my attorney.

Doug Dougherty recently helped resolve my case - which involved a complicated legal issue - whereby I was seeking the court's relief from a prior alimony judgment due to circumstances that required me to retire from my job. The law in this area was somewhat unsettled and Doug did a fantastic job outlining the current state of the applicable law and the prospects for a successful outcome. Doug was very professional, communicative and thoughtful of managing the costs of the process. I would highly recommend Doug not only for his knowledge, professionalism and aggressive representation - but he's also a great guy to work with in such difficult circumstances.

Doug Dougherty was my attorney for my divorce. Unfortunately I had 2 prior attorneys to Doug - my first went on medical leave for the 2 months leading up to my initial hearing so I had to make a quick change. My second was almost impossible to get a hold of and it actually cost me the ability to have expert witnesses at my trial. Things totally changed when I found Doug. He is responsive, thorough, attentive, and extremely smart. He is a multiple time winner at the Ohio Supreme court for a reason. I would first suggest never going through a divorce but if you do, Doug is who you want representing you. Also, on a personal level Doug is genuine and real and will do everything he can to help you. Had he been my first attorney I know my outcome would have been even better than what it turned out and I still got almost everything I wanted. I told him when we settled with my x that it was a shame I didn't get to see him in court. If you're going through a divorce at least take the time to meet with him, you will not be disappointed.

Finding Doug Dougherty when I did was a blessing. I was using another attorney, from a completely different firm, and was at my breaking point. My divorce was final, but QDRO's and finalizing all the details had yet to be resolved. My life savings were in jeopardy and my, then current, attorney was unresponsive and completely checked out from the process. Doug took on my case, got up to speed quickly and set everything in motion. He was kind, professional and explained everything to me so that I fully understood the process. He was also very clear on expectations to the outcome of certain case items, which I appreciated greatly. I wish I would have known Doug at the beginning of my divorce journey. I'm sure my outcome would have been much better. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing their services. Top notch!!

Divorce is hard, but having fantastic legal representation can make it manageable. Attorneys Doug Dougherty and Brandy Maas have provided more than a professional service for my family and me; they have provided peace of mind. I would most certainly be in a different place if not for their patience, tireless work, and attention to detail. I appreciate their practiced understanding of the law and ability to convey legal options for my unique situation.

Unfortunately I had 2 prior attorneys to Doug - my first went on medical leave for the 2 months leading up to my initial hearing so I had to make a quick change. My second was almost impossible to get a hold of and it actually cost me the ability to have expert witnesses at my trial. Things totally changed when I found Doug. He is responsive, thorough, attentive, and extremely smart. He is a multiple time winner at the Ohio Supreme court for a reason. I would first suggest never going through a divorce but if you do, Doug is who you want representing you. Also, on a personal level Doug is genuine and real and will do everything he can to help you. Had he been my first attorney I know my outcome would have been even better than what it turned out and I still got almost everything I wanted. I told him when we settled with my x that it was a shame I didn't get to see him in court. If you're going through a divorce at least take the time to meet with him, you will not be disappointed.

    Finding Doug Dougherty when I did was a blessing. I was using another attorney, from a completely different firm, and was at my breaking point. My divorce was final, but QDRO's and finalizing all the details had yet to be resolved. My life savings were in jeopardy and my, then current, attorney was unresponsive and completely checked out from the process. Doug took on my case, got up to speed quickly and set everything in motion. He was kind, professional and explained everything to me so that I fully understood the process. He was also very clear on expectations to the outcome of certain case items, which I appreciated greatly. I wish I would have known Doug at the beginning of my divorce journey. I'm sure my outcome would have been much better. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing their services. Top notch!!

    Divorce is hard, but having fantastic legal representation can make it manageable. Attorneys Doug Dougherty and Brandy Maas have provided more than a professional service for my family and me; they have provided peace of mind. I would most certainly be in a different place if not for their patience, tireless work, and attention to detail. I appreciate their practiced understanding of the law and ability to convey legal options for my unique situation.

I have worked with Mr. Greco on multiple occasions including dissolution, shared parenting plan creation, a modification of shared parenting plan and now a termination of shared parenting plan due to obtaining custody. I cannot stress how fantastic he and his entire staff are. Mr. Greco's knowledge base/tenacity are second to none, and couple that with his years of experience, you have a Goliath of an attorney supporting you. He is able to foresee just about every twist and turn imaginable and come absolutely prepared to engage. He is an absolute bulldog, and does not back down or roll over to opposition. There is not another attorney in Ohio that I would ever consider helping me with any issue in terms of family law. Attorney Greco, and his staff, remain completely engaged before, during and even after all legal activities are completed. They have provided so much guidance, even after the fact, that has been extremely beneficial in navigating handling issues with an unruly ex. There is absolutely no way that there is a better attorney or law firm in Columbus.

I am so grateful for your service beyond my expectations indeed. Everyone was very professional and friendly went above and beyond to answer all my questions, they did exactly what they said they were going to do. This was the best move for me to hire attorney Greco Law Firm. Everything worked and they produced the very best results for me. Thank you for everything you guys are the best! George Pavlou, West Liberty Ohio

Tony and John Rozmus did an outstanding job for us. We could never have advocated for our son and family without their expertise, diligence, and hard work. You are paying for an unmatched fighter who knows the intricacies of the law inside and out, and the full support of his top-notch team. Thank you for everything you have done for us.

Anthony and Hari are great! If you need an attorney that actually works and is aggressive, Greco Law is the way to go. They will fight for you. They will not let you roll over and take it alone. These guys are creative and will find the best way to support you for the best outcome. They are very responsive, even on weekends. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I’ve retained Ms Galloway as professional counsel for approximately five years and she has exceeded my expectations. She’s particularly good at explaining the law and how it applies to me and what strategic options I have. My case has recently ended and I’m even more happy about Ms Galloway as my attorney nowadays than when I initially retained her. Thanks Ms Galloway!!!

Britani Galloway was a great help to my wife and I. We had a great experience with her services. My wife really enjoyed her as well. Anything that we had questions on she answered in ways that we were able to understand. She handled the adoption of my two boys and I couldn't of asked for a better person to do so. We do recommend her services to anyone that is looking for a great attorney.

She is a great GAL does her job very well. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to look into my kids case.

As a divorce lawyer - she was OK. I chose her because she was honest and didn't promise anything. My major concern was that she didn't respond to emails at times and appeared unorganized. For example, after my divorce was final she sent me an email asking if I wanted my court documents and of course charged me 15 mins just to ask me that. I replied with a yes and asked for a time to pick them up. She never bothered to respond to my email.

Britani Galloway represented us in an auto accident and was very thorough and detailed with our claim. She always kept us informed with any actions and was confident in resolving our case. Very personable and well educated. Thank you!

I retained Mr. Russell to handle my dissolution with children and we discussed all options and he helped establish a fair and reasonable shared parenting time schedule with my ex-husband. He excels at negotiations and unlike many people, I understand that there is no winner in divorce/dissolutions/custody matters. It is imperative to reach a reasonable resolution rather than "beating your former spouse in court". I agreed with Mr. Russel that it is far better to try and resolve issues between the parties rather than leaving it up to a Judge. Simply put, there are things that you have to give up in return to acquire the things that matter most to you. Our dissolution was fairly easy and was completed in under 3 months which required both parties to be amenable (not always the case which can drag things out). Mr. Russell also proved to also be an excellent reference when I moved out of state in search of a new job. He is a class act and don't be fooled by his easy going demeanor to mean that he is passive or easily manipulated by opposing counsel. His ability to keep a cool head and calm demeanor allows for a more positive outcome for his clients. He cares about his clients and he will give you straight answers rather than making promises which is often times misconstrued by the lay person who may not understand the processes of litigation. I will continue to recommend Mr. Russell to my family and friends for their legal needs. - Natalie Travis

Scott is very focused and clear on strategy when he was working on my custody case. He helped make a positive change in my kid's life, that 2 previous lawyers could not. I with I would have had him from the start of my divorce. I highly recommend Scott!

Scott is a really great attorney. He went above and beyond for some recent legal work we needed to have completed, quickly. He expedited the paperwork that was necessary for our situation and even met us to deliver the papers . I would highly recommend Scott Russell for your legal needs

Scott and his team were extremely helpful and responsive throughout the process. He took the time ti clearly explain the process and each step along the way and I always felt like my best interest was his focus.

Very quick to respond to questions and handle my legal matters. He has never steered me wrong. Great guy, great advice, great outcomes. I would recommend him to any of my family and friends.

I can't say enough good things about Paul and the Panico Law Group. Paul really cares about his clients. He is responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this Law Group and appreciate their dedication and expertise regarding my proceedings.

Paul is awesome! I’m so relieved we found someone who isn’t trying to take us for a ride and get as much money as possible from us. We haven’t officially had to hire him yet, however I’ve actually asked if we could pay him (with how many times I call him asking him questions I’ve started to feel bad) for the advice he gave us due to a custody matter, but he is so kind and has said multiple times he couldn’t knowingly take our money when he hasn’t done anything (even though he has by giving us advice about our case at least once a week). He truly does care and he truly is a great person. We have been so blessed to find him!

Paul and Beth have been wonderful and caring in my case. They have been understanding and "As a matter of fact". I am truly pleased with my decision on choosing Paul and his staff to represent me. Paul has been extremely calm, confident and patient with me and my concerns about the divorce. I know that the stress of divorce is rarely an easy situation to go through. Pauls Demeanor has made the situation comforting for me. I had to make changes on my part to trust and allow Paul and his team to do their job. I will highly recommend Paul to anyone that seeks representation. Thank you Paul and Beth for your support. Tom L.

My divorce has been finalized and I feel so relieved! Panico Law Group really helped me navigate through the confusing paperwork, and were always there to answer questions (which were numerous!) that I had. Things I liked about Paul and his group: free initial consultation, professional, kept me up-to-date, easy to deal with, good listeners, understanding, good price. I can’t come up with any negatives. I thought my divorce would be cut-and-dry, but my ex-partner and COVID complicated things. Paul helped me wade through everything, and I always felt confident knowing that he was representing me. I’m happy that I can move on with my life in peace. I’d highly recommend Paul’s services if you need a divorce.

Navigating my divorce was a challenging experience to say the least, but I was supported and guided every step of the way by my attorney, Paul Panico and his assistant Beth. With the daunting task of hiring a divorce lawyer, I knew I would need someone with the right combination of knowledge, compassion and integrity. Paul and Beth were professional and caring and always quick to respond. I always felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Paul Panico for the legal expertise, compassion and understanding of the many complex facets associated with divorce.
