Awesome

My review as related to my sister's review Othela. I was the Executor of my parents estate. Almost nothing in her statement is true. She is nothing more than a disgruntled beneficiary of the Trust. Due to her taking and holding paper work it cost a lot time and money. She has made unfounded cla...ims to the Columbus Bar Assco. and the Ohio Supreme Court all of which were dismissed. Mr. O'Neil was asked to come to my sister's house for us to interview him to handle the estate of my parents. My father had just died, 20 years after my mother. Othela was gun hoe on hiring Mr. O'neil. She said "If mom and dad hired him, he must be the best." Things went smooth at first until Othela found out I was the executor of the Estate giving her no power in decision of the estate. Othela had taken the estate book and other important papers from the house right after dad died. I needed certain paper to file probate that she had. I ask repeatedly for them on the phone, at her house and sent emails. Only when I sent a couple of registered letters did she give me the papers. It held up the process by months and months. The executor sold the house not Othela she wanted to sale it for $90,000 we got $143,900 for it. The Estate was worth almost double of what Othela stated which included stocks, annuities, life insurance, cash on hand and the sale of the house. If anyone is unfortunate it is me. Having a sister spreading lies and trying to make a good decent man look bad that has served Ohio for 28 years. Dennis is a good lawyer and did a great job. We are very happy with the outcome. You would be lucky to have him represent you and your family.
