About Curt

For over 30 years, Clients rely on our attention to detail and hard work to produce winning results.

Court battles are demanding. Now, thanks to the Covid-19 Pandemic, many hearings are conducted by Video, or even Telephone, adding even greater challenges. Good Lawyers show up for Court - Great Lawyers show up - WELL PREPARED, ready for more than the expected outcome.Planning for alternate contingencies takes foresight, experience, thought and preparation.  Attention to detail and nuance are critical- and that comes from experience. The law is a battle of wits, application of strategy and work ethic to create creative approaches to solve complex problems.   Attorney Bogen's experiences as a Court Referee, Prosecutor, Guardian Ad Litem, Mediator, and Private Practitioner, litigating and negotiating settlements in thousands of cases, enable him to provide clients with decades of proven insight.

No smoke and mirrors here-- Attorney Bogen believes a client needs to know and understand  might expect, before ever entering a Courtroom.

When you first meet for your initial consultation, you may wish to arrive a few minutes early. You will be given an Intake Packet-- paperwork to fill out,  requesting specific information about your type of case. The packet is the property of the office and must not be removed from the office.

It is required that you provide that information BEFORE the initial consultation. When you complete the packet and provide accurate information, Attorney Bogen will interview you personally-- reviewing the information and asking specific questions to develop a tailored approach to your specific legal needs. The more complete the information -- the more accurate Attorney Bogen can be in addressing your precise legal needs and recommending one or more options to address your legal needs.

The law is chaotic, challenging, and can be overwhelming. Most people fare better with a partner in the process-- a trusted Attorney with experience, tact and discretion - one you trust, to help you navigate its intricate channels.

You don't walk into a gunfight with a pen-knife -- why would anyone go into a Court battle without experienced legal Counsel? 

Protecting clients by being proactive is critical to providing quality representation. Know the facts, know the law, AND know the preferences of each Judge and Magistrate-- to give you, the client, every possible extra edge. Representation needs to be upright and ethical.  There is always a fine balance between negotiation and hard nosed litigation--and lawyers need to know when and how to mix them together, and sift them apart.

Remember- Good lawyering is hard work.  Demand the best.

      Review Curt Bogen

      THE BEST ATTORNEY IN TRUMBULL & MAHONING COUNTY, & BEYOND

      Posted by

      Curt Bogen is THEE BEST attorney in Trumbull & Mahoning County, & Beyond! The first time I hired him was a Victory. I just hired him for the 2nd. time and guess what? You guessed correctly, another Victory. Curt Bogen is Brilliant! He's smart on the law and he knows it well. He goes into the court room extremely prepared, confident, and steadfast. This is what everyone wants in an attorney. He's NOT a "let the chips fall where they may" kind of attorney. And he certainly isn't the type of atty. that's going to "wing it", as many will do. Curt strives for the outcome you want and inevitably gets it. No surprise here! This is what you get with an over the top, stellar, and excellent attorney like Curt Bogen. He's a scholar on the law! More important, he is well prepared for what the other side might attempt to do. There's no such thing as Curt ever being "blind-sided" by anything. He has an innate ability to "foresee" all aspects of the case and acts accordingly. He enters the courtroom prepared, and then some. The Best Attorney by far in Trumbull, Mahoning Counties & Beyond. The Best of The Best! JF 8/29/14

      An excellant attorney for all of the single dads out there that need help with custody or help with child support.

      Posted by

      There is no other attorney in the state of Ohio that could've have handled our case like he has done. Our case was quite complicated to say the least. I had recently moved from Georgia to the state of Ohio. But yet I needed an attorney that could help me with New York Child Support. For several years New York Child Support was stating that I owed 80,000.00 in child support. Which in fact I had only owed 1616.00.It was a very complicated mess to say the least. So I needed an attorney that knew the laws in 3 different states being that Ohio, Georgia and New York was involved. Trust me when I tell you, it was not an easy task. Attorney Curt Bogen was the only attorney that had the knowledge to handle this case. He worked so hard for us and put many hours into this case. It ended up that Curt Bogen had won our case for us. It was a case that no other attorney could've handled. Curt Bogen also helped us with emergency child custody. Being that I'm the dad, that's not any easy task either, being that the mother always gets custody before the dad. It was yet another complicated battle. There again another victory thanks to attorney Curt Bogen. Attorney Curt Bogen is a very brilliant man with a lot of wisdom. We appreciate all the hard work that he has done for us.

      Great advice!!!

      Mr. Bogen, Thank you very much for taking so much time to thoroughly answer all of my questions. Your advice was invaluable to me. Moreover your caring and passion for your profession was evident from the moment I was greeted. Having the support of a consummate professional such as yourself made all the difference in this emotional and trying time. I can not thank you enough!!

      Best Legal Advisor and Genuine Heart

      Posted by

      Mr. Curt P. Bogen was referred to me by a mutual friend and fellow lawyer. He was HIGHLY recommended and described as being the "BEST," and I couldn't have agreed more. He showed great respect, compassion, trust, and concern for me during my divorce. Not only did he provide great legal advise but he also provided genuine care as he talked and supported me through my situation. Mr. Bogen was impressively knowledgeable. Not only did he make this entire process understandable and smooth but was also incredibly funny, which helped throughout the process. VICTORY seems to be a very common word associated with Curt P. Bogen, it certainly was in my case! He's a lawyer who honestly cares and fights for YOU! He showed great respect for me, the client, and took the time to breakdown and explain the "legalese" in a way I'd understand. I will forever be grateful for Mr. Bogen. I hope to never use his services again but would welcome a reunion. His pricing structure is FAIR and affordable. Worth every penney. I've since HIGHLY recommended his services to a friend in need. Overall, I never thought I'd see the day where I needed to hire a divorce lawyer, however, I was glad I hired Curt P. Bogen. Best Legal Advisor and Genuine Heart.

      A Furture and a Hope

      Posted by

      We owe our grandson's future to Attorney Bogen, who was our son's divorce and child custody lawyer. This case was extreme with many extending circumstances. It needed a genius mind to handle it all. We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful lawyer to challenge the lie's and false charges from the opposition. With wisdom and respect for the law, he took on this most difficult case. Attorney Bogen researched and presented the many untruths to the court and justice was rewarded in our son's favor. Our son has custody of his son, because of Attorney Bogen's hard work ethics and belief in his client. For even when the odds are stacked against you, truth will prevail with an amazing lawyer at your side like Curt. You will be in the best hands ever. Thank You, Mr. Bogen for giving our grandson and son, a future and a hope.

      Mr. Bogen …. The man the myth the legend!!!!

      Posted by

      Attorney Bogen not only dismantled a spiteful ex, but his advice on a daily was always on point. His ability to foresee the future of how this divorce/custody battle would end was unreal. I consider Curt not just the best attorney in the state of Ohio, but I also consider him a friend. His ability to obtain full custody for a MAN has made me believe this man was placed in my life for a reason. We fought side by side … tooth and nail throughout this year long battle and the most important part is that Curt NEVER made me feel his plan would fail. Curt’s confidence, eloquence, and ability to convey in extreme detail my story in the courtroom was like listening to Morgan Freeman narrate Shawshank Redemption, haha! Curt is one of a kind, and I would recommend him to anyone in a difficult divorce. Thank you so much Curt! -Aaron
