We help families navigate the probate process. This includes gathering the decedent's assets, settling valid debts, preparing estate tax returns when necessary, and distributing assets to the beneficiaries. Along the way, we ensure that our clients comply with the law and meet all Probate Court deadlines. If the decedent's assets are held in a Trust, we can make sure the Trustee complies with not only the terms of the Trust document itself, but also all other requirements under Ohio law.

Completely unresponsive

Asked Jeremy to help with what should have been a simple trust issue. After a couple of initial meetings he went completely unresponsive. After 2 months of not following up on emails and calls he reengaged and apologized. Told me he’d work to get everything settled. Communication lasted about 2 wee...ks before he ghosted me again. I wasted probably 4 months thinking he’d do what he said he’d was going to do before moving to another lawyer who helped provide what I needed in 2 weeks. Don’t make the same mistake I made.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
