Joe and Jarica are not just great attorney's they are very knowledgeable and good people. They are very up front and to the point. I'm not much for beating around the bush and that's why I like them. No nonsense just law and options. 2 thumbs up

Ralph was a great guy, unfortunately he left us much too soon. God bless you my friend RIP.

After having a poor experience with another attorney, I set out to hire the *right* attorney. I went through an EXTENSIVE interview process with nearly ten attorneys. I narrowed the list down to three. When I chose Ralph Kerns, I contacted the other two attorneys and advised them of my choice, to which they both indicated I made a great choice. Respect from competitors is always a good sign. Ralph is a very good attorney. He understands domestic law very well and I would certainly recommend him with one caveat. Where his firm, and frankly I think many attorneys miss the boat is in the customer service department. The firm in general is not consistently pleasurable or prompt with replies to calls or emails. I did experience miss-communications on more than one occasion. I personally know many attorneys and this seems to be a very common issue. I don't know if it's that they are simply over worked or that they are just so wrapped up in what they do in the court room, that they forget how important it is to provide the service we as paying clients need... and deserve. If working with them were more enjoyable, I would have given them a 5+ star review. Another point about Ralph A. Kerns & Associates that I did like is they seem to bill quite fairly and do not nickle and dime. So if you are looking for a very skilled attorney at a reasonable rate and you have the patience to deal with average service, this firm is for you.

DO NOT HIRE RALPH KERNS. I am a former football player at Ohio State and a tech entrepreneur. I hired Ralph Kerns to defend me in my divorce case and it’s been three years and I still haven’t seen my children. He and the opposing party worked together to throw my case. He convinced me that it was a good idea to sign over the deed of my house to my ex wife in the middle of the divorce. And coerced me into signing the rights away to my children. He is for sale and the opposing party can buy him. Do not hire him and he should be facing litigation and his license should be suspended.

I have used him in the past and he was great and I plan to use him again really soon

Megan was amazing. She worked with me very quickly and asked for everything she needed up front so we could move as quickly as possible. Sadly, I’ve worked with a lot of attorneys and she is far and away one of the best. I’ll add that the office staff was amazing too! A pleasure to work with.
Review
Einstein Law was an excellent team that really helped me through the divorce process. Dianne was thorough, efficient and attentive. She always took the time to explain the legal process and what to expect. During a very stressful and uncertain time (and during a pandemic, no less), Dianne provided legal guidance and reassurance. I would recommend Einstein Law to anyone who finds themself going through a divorce.
Review
Dianne Einstein is incredible to work with and We cannot recommend her and her team enough! She came very highly recommended by a fellow attorney and dear friend and we could not be more grateful to have met her. Dianne was the perfect legal counsel for us. She is fair in her representation of us and our best interest, while keeping a conservative eye on cost. She exercised the utmost professionalism and provided us with informed and well researched options balanced with warmth, compassion, kindness and honesty. We have found our legal home with Einstein Law and would not hesitate to recommend this very special practice to anyone.
Review
Dianne and her team were wonderful, especially through this pandemic season. They were quick, efficient, helpful and easy to work with. Their intent of their work surely showed upfront which made it easy for me to trust them. The overall process was as smooth as it could be and I was grateful for their hard work and help for my case.

Dianne Einstein did an excellent job as a mediator for our Dissolution, alerting us to what we could expect from the courts, and the legalities involved with our assets. I highly recommend her.

Brian was awesome. The right amount of aggressive and calm. Having an almost 2 year battle in court, Brian was awesome. He has a great knowledge of the process and laws. He pulled me back from the ledge several times and calmed me down and directed me on the right path! In the end, we won everything. Thanks so much, Brian!!!
Review
I am SO Glad I actually came in to Brian Piper's office! I was nervous about my situation & going to see a Lawyer! From the very 1st phone call I was put at ease by Courtney! I ended up having to reschedule & even contemplated canceling. I'm so Glad I didn't! Thank you both for making me feel comfortable & at ease! I want to especially Thank you Mr. Piper for "Taking your Lawyer Hat off" for me! The Candid conversation helped immensely! I appreciate you & would highly recommend your services!
Review
I live in Texas. The legal problems were in Ohio. The person who was in trouble lived in North Carolina. What to do? I hit the internet to look up and check out (as best I could) 3 or 4 Ohio attorneys. I feel so blessed that I chose Mr. Piper. He investigated for me and found my foster son's problems were multiple and included a bench warrant. He was kind and patient, instructive, and led us through the process of clearing up what turned out to be a complicated mess. My situation could have become a costly quagmire if Mr. Piper were other than the honest, timely, and knowledgeable man that he is. I definitely recommend him.

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!!!
Review
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.
Review
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.
Review
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.
Review
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 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.
Review
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.

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.
Review
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.
Review
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.
Review
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!!
Review
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 got the help I needed and more. I am indebted to Petroff Law Offices. Ron and his team were absolutely there for me and helped me navigate a very difficult patch of my life. The service was personal and professional. Highly recommend this firm.
Review
Petroff Law Office has the best team of lawyers that you could ask for. I had the pleasure of working with Michelle Meis and Ron Petroff. My case looked hopeless before they became involved. 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.
Review
I just started working with this firm, so far I am vary impressed. Everyone is so helpful, they even stayed late to meet with me to get everything started ASAP like I wanted. If your looking for knowledgeable Attorneys definitely go to Petroff Law!!! I'll leave another review once my case is closed.
Review
Petroff law is hands down the best. You can tell as soon as Andrea answers the phone to schedule your initial appointment that you are dealing with superiority. Their entire staff is just lovely, personable, well educated and patient... and just incase you need to hear this, you deserve the best. You are worth every last red cent that you will spend here. My child support got reduced last year shortly after moving to Columbus. Earlier that year I had accidentally let myself get screwed over in my dissolution... I just wanted out. Had I known about Petroff then, I would have hired him. At first, I paid for the initial consultation and after hearing my case, they helped me figure out what I needed to file on my own so that I could represent myself. I am confident that, had I not been dealing with an ex who has caused me to have severe PTSD, I would have been fine... but it came to the hearing and I panicked... BIG TIME. Due to major errors on my part, I was facing possibly losing my kids. So I went back to Petroff, not only did he get me out of trouble, but he got me a good deal that I could have been happy with if my ex was anyone normal. I decided that we needed to go to trial, even though Ron warned me of the massive risk I was taking. But he won the case for me anyway. There were several times over the last few months that Ron reminded me of how much money I was spending on dragging this out and having him represent me in Hancock County (1.5hr drive from Columbus), which was very sweet since I am the single mother of five and every penny counts... I always responded to him with "Oh you know I think you are worth every last red cent!", and to be sure, he is! But as I was writing up my thank you card the other day I realized... what I was really saying was that I was worth every last red cent. I haven't given myself permission to be important to me in a very long time... Petroff law is hands down the best. You can tell as soon as Andrea answers the phone to schedule your initial appointment that you are dealing with superiority. Their entire staff is just lovely, personable, well educated and patient... and just incase you need to hear this, you deserve the best. You are worth every last red cent that you will spend here.
Review
I hired Ron as my lawyer because I needed to modify my shared parenting agreement and I needed a fresh perspective. Ron and his team were very efficient with their time. He is direct and breaks the situation down simply. I had confidence he understood the different facets of my situation. It ended up being a 5 day trial and I felt I was very well represented. I also will say the way he bills and used my time was very appropriate. I have an eagle eye in this area and I feel he was responsible and respectful of my time and money. I would reach out again to him if needed and I absolutely would recommend him to others!
