Ed Herman

I asked a friend for a referral for an attorney to help my husband and I get out of a mortgage that was 75% under water. She took several months, but came back with Ed's name. I contacted him immediately and was able to see him within a few days. Ed's first question was, "what do you want after every...thing is said and done?" I told him 3 things, and then he told me, "I can make sure all of those happen!" I left that first meeting feeling like the weight of the world had been lifted from my shoulders! At the next meeting, 6 weeks later, Ed told us EXACTLY what to expect and when to expect it. We hired him that day. It is now 23 months later, we have gotten the three things we wanted in exactly the amount of time he said it would happen. He is not only a knowledgeable attorney, but, also kind, compassionate, and fair. He contacted me in January, 2019 to tell me that he would not be charging me anymore because we had paid him enough! I mentioned this to friends and family and they were shocked! Just showed me again I had the right guy!!! I have referred Ed to several other people, and, I know of at least one of those people have hired him. Hire Ed! You will NEVER regret it!

Initially needed legal advise regarding my sister's ownership of a rental apartment and commercial property, an LLC corporation. About one year ago, one apartment renter filed lawsuit alleging accidental death as a result of slip and fall claim. My sister attended all scheduled court dates, whereas... plaintiff's attorney did not attend any. According to Ohio State law, my sister should have retained a lawyer to represent her, which she choose to not retain a legal representative. Judge after three (3) scheduled court appearance without her lawyer, the Judge issued a summary judgment in the amount of $500K, just because she did not retain legal representation. With Mr. Herman's guidance and appropriate legal advise, we choose to challenge the Judge's summary judgment. Mr. Herman won upon appeal that resulted in an over-turning the Judge's decision. Plaintiff subsequently dropped further legal action. Unfortunately shortly after the Judge's summary judgment, my sister passed away from an initial brain aneurysm, then several years later was affected with cancer, that she fought through over her last six (6) years. This also adversely effected her business. Many months after the slip and fall claim, an additional suit was filed against her personal loan that was guaranteed by her rental apartment and commercial property. This suit is currently in process of being foreclosed. Early in the legal process, my sister also requested my opinion and guidance on these matters. Mr. Herman has professionally administered both suits to my complete satisfaction, even in spite of the fact of the loss of her rental property assets. Ed's resolution of the $500K trip and fall suit to my sisters benefit was unexpected; yet, she would have been very pleased since she truly believed her business was not at fault for the slip and fall claim. Throughout all of the above, I sincerely appreciate Ed's efforts on my sister's behalf. He is very articulate individual, he needed to dumb down the legal issues for my sister and my behalf (made the legal issues and procedures more easily understandable so that we could make informed decisions), and Ed's invoices were fair, reasonable, and truly reflected his efforts! He earned my sister's, as well as mine, trust and faith in his guidance and legal recommendations. Above all, I sincerely respect and thank Ed for his compassion and empathy while my sister struggled through her health conditions. The best complement is that I would seek his legal guidance if I was in need of a lawyer.
