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.

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 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.

You won't find a better attorney than Kristen Campbell. She really listens to your needs and has the expertise and court experience to respond appropriately. She is a professional and aggressive litigator and mediator; her office was also immediately responsive to changes in my case. Her counsel is worth every penny because she really takes care of everything for you, from navigating the courts to building your case. She takes your case personally and really works hard for you. I have Kristen to thank for more time with my daughter, a shared parenting plan, and greater securities for her well being. My daughter and I are very grateful to Kristen for making our situation better for all concerned parties.

Kristin is an absolute amazing attorney. She explains things simply and to the point. An attorney that actually cares about how each case turns out.

Been in and out of domestic relations court for 13 years. Kristen will give you hope that not everyone is the same. She was very concerned about my case, always was well prepared and ready to fight. She is professional in the court room. First lawyer I have seen in the court room that could plead the clients case without trying courtroom tricks to try to get the other party to show emotions. She learned everything about my case well before we entered the courtroom and always asked the right questions so there was no need for antics. Kristen was on my team, not just my lawyer. I am thinking that is probably hard to find.

Ms. Campbell has truly been a blessing to me for my post divorce case. She is very honest and up front. Truly caring and compassionate about her job and her clients! She was most impressive at knowing my case inside and out and did a phenomenal job representing in court. I will always be forever grateful to Ms. Campbell for all that she has done for me and would definitely recommend her to anyone! If you are in search of a great lawyer and have no idea where to turn Ms. Campbell is definitely the way to go without a doubt! She will not disappoint!

Kristen, Is a fighter!! I hired her for my divorce. She is prepared and will to fight for what is right. She knows what she is doing. She is well worth every penny! I highly recommend Kristen if you want to have a divorce done and done properly the first time!!

    You won't find a better attorney than Kristen Campbell. She really listens to your needs and has the expertise and court experience to respond appropriately. She is a professional and aggressive litigator and mediator; her office was also immediately responsive to changes in my case. Her counsel is worth every penny because she really takes care of everything for you, from navigating the courts to building your case. She takes your case personally and really works hard for you. I have Kristen to thank for more time with my daughter, a shared parenting plan, and greater securities for her well being. My daughter and I are very grateful to Kristen for making our situation better for all concerned parties.

5 star rating for a 5 star attorney, even during a pandemic. Highly recommend. The ladies in the office are both just as wonderful!

Jeff is the attorney I’ve used for the last six years in two cases. He’s very knowledgeable and does whatever it takes for the best interest of his client. I will use him the next time I need him and I suggest you do also.

I have hired Jeff three times, once for my divorce and twice to make modifications to my visitation schedule and child support. I’ve been very pleased with the results and the attention to my case. He has a common sense approach to family law and billing is accurate and fair. If you need a therapist or a shoulder to cry on Jeff is not your lawyer but if you want to have an accurate legal opinion on what is achievable in Butler county domestic relations court Jeff Holcomb is who you should hire.

Its a alright place they just need to make sure they call you back.

I would highly recommend Jeff Holcomb. He executed my divorce and custody case with professionalism, the utmost attention to detail, strategy, respect, and for the best interest of my case. His ethical reputation is one of the reasons I hired him to lead one of the most difficult times in my life. He listens and advises with patience and understanding yet with the appropriate firmness and candor that you will want. The pace that he and his staff perform at is the best in the business!

Several years ago Courtney and Brad stepped into one of the most egregious cases when they didn't have too and I didn't have much money at all - but they did it to help protect my little girl when the system had failed to protect her. Their law firm went far beyond what they had to do and they weren't even making a profit off of me at the time. Over the past few years they have given me professional and solid advice - most recently Brad gave me advice that helped me handle situation with a speeding ticket for the best possible outcome. They have shown compassion and integrity throughout the years and are professional and skilled attorneys. I would recommend them to anyone who ends up in a situation needing an attorney - big or small. I could never voice my gratitude enough for how they went above and beyond for my little girl.

I am not sure I will ever be able to fully thank Courtney and her team for what she did during my divorce case. While I was dealing with the emotional aspect of losing my marriage, she was looking out for me and watching every detail - and because of her I ended up with a negotiated agreement which had me retain full custody of my kids, plenty of financial support and I retained my residence. So very thankful!

Fraley Excavating hired Brad to update and improve our company policies and procedures, as well as a few other business related affairs. He has absolutely exceeded our expectations! He works with us closely, is very thorough, and is extremely attentive to our needs while always keeping our company's best interest in mind. We are so impressed with not only Brad, but as well as the entire staff at CK Law. They are professional, prompt, and accommodating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CK Law for any of your legal needs!

Brad helped out my family member when faced with very serious charges. He was honest with us and transparent and worked hard for us in achieving a very favorable result.

It has taken me some time to write this review. To be honest, I still feel I need to be pinched. Courtney was able to accomplish what every attorney's office that I consulted with before her and what the attorney on my case prior to her could not. She saved my little girl. It still makes my heart swell and my eyes fill to this day. I cannot thank you enough, Courtney and your staff for everything you have done for me and my family and for saving my little girl. I am in awe with how quickly and seemlessly you worked my case. From the moment I had my first consult with Courtney, her words stuck with me and still do to this day. She was the first attorney to stand for me when I felt I couldn't anymore and she is the biggest blessing I could've ever imagined. She fought for the safety of my daughter as if she were her own. This attorney is truly a force to be reckoned with. Thank you, from the fullness of my heart, for everything you and your office did for us. We are forever grateful.

John helped me through the most difficult time of my life, both personally and professionally. The breakup of my 30-year marriage coincided with the breakup of a business partnership, and John guided me through the emotional and financial unwinding process of these events with his wisdom, compassion, and empathy. I'll forever be grateful for the respect and kindness he extended to me, especially on the days I didn’t deserve it.

John professionally lead me through the collaborative process for divorce. His compassionate personality, knowledge and connections to helpful specialists were positive experiences during a stressful time. Communications were always prompt. An unexpected event caused me to be calling and texting John over Thanksgiving break. John reassured me, and although I was upset with the timing, John was not. If you are in need of a family lawyer, I highly recommend John.

John Heilbrun worked tirelessly for me on my complicated and atypical divorce case for one long year. He paid no attention to the clock when it came to responding to my concerns, and he addressed all issues with detailed attention. He was a Master at preparing Proposals, filing Motions in the Court, doing Depositions, etc... that resulted favorably for me. I felt I could count on him consistently even in those "darkest of hours" throughout the process. In addition, John is completely professional and honorable, and I was comfortable with him handling all my confidential financial and business matters. At the end of the day and the closing of my case, we mutually agreed that I fared very well under the circumstances of my case. Retaining John for your divorce case would be a "win-win" situation. A. Payne A. Payne

John Heilbrun is a professional, and absolutely the best domestic relations attorney in Cincinnati. He was remarkable in representing me in my recent divorce case.

Today's world seems at times to be cluttered with chaos, confusion, problems, and seemingly unresolvable issues. Having a smart perspective outside of your own skin can bring order, calmness, and even peace through these challenging times. Several times over the last few decades I have been fortunate enough to have John Heilbrun's clarity of thought, knowledge, communication skills, and legal skills there for me during times of need. John makes it easy. I know that I get a perspective from John that includes a thoughtful comprehensive analysis of the issues and the individuals involved. It's about intelligence, trustworthiness, reliability, sensitivity, and comfortable access and communication that I can understand. Jim Good Architect
