About Curt

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

Court battles are demanding. Good Lawyers show up for Court - PREPARED, ready for more than the expected outcome. Being ready for alternate contingencies takes thought and preparation.  Attention to detail and nuance. and, most importantly, 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 whom you trust, to help you navigate its intricate channels.

You don't send a gunslinger 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 your client every possible extra edge which the law reasonably permits. 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.

Took the time...

While I wasn't able to retain Mr. Bogen's services to represent me, he still took the time to show he cared. He spent 30 minutes on the phone answering questions and providing recommendations to top attorneys in my area; a true gentleman.

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

Prenuptial agreement

Posted by

I hired Curt to review a prenuptial agreement that was drawn up by another attorney. I found Curt to be very knowledgeable, and detail oriented. Curt reviewed the document and pointed out a couple of things that could be issues down the road. He was professional, efficient, and friendly, and so was his secretary. I wouldn't hesitate to use Curt again if the need arises.

The most Skilled and Knowledgeable Lawyer Around

Posted by

Mine is a child support/possible child custody case and I cannot begin to put into words all that this man possesses! I am absolutely astounded. His education/knowledge and track record speak for themselves! He understands and respects my fears and concerns and is not a "whatever happens, happens" kind of lawyer; he will not allow his client to feel bombarded or bullied by anyone or be hit with "surprises" in the court room (I've had a couple of them in the past). He goes above and beyond to gather every single piece of information available (not just "enough") and he is attentive to you when you speak to him or ask him questions. It definitely helps that he always makes it a point to get back to you no matter how busy he is; I have NEVER felt left in the dust when I need him! I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so, as I sincerely believe he stands for something good and just; something this world needs a little more of.

Excellence in action!

Posted by

First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Attorney Bogen, as he has been very helpful during my long and, shall we say, tedious divorce. That being said, I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice, trial litigation or even divorce proceedings. Curt, was not only understanding of the process, but he tediously worked out details that could have otherwise, been over looked; in my opinion. His exemplary high standards and work ethic provided encouragement and eased fears I had possessed prior to each step. His continued support and communication during the process, proved to me, he was not only concerned, but genuinely cared about the best possible outcome for all involved. Attorney Bogen proved, time and time again, that he was not only willing to accept the challenge of opposing council, but welcomed it with an open mindset and willingness to succeed. His unparalleled professionalism allowed for continued communication and understanding, as opposing council continuously tried to undermine our every step forward. However, Curt continued to work tediously, too, in most cases, not only defend against false allegations, but also see that I was treated fairly during the confusing and turbulent process that is, divorce. I think if anyone is seeking Legal assistance, they should call Curt.

Father tried EVERYTHING to get out of child support until BOGEN stopped him in his tracks!

Posted by

I had, what I thought would be, an easy child support case. 13 months & 5-6 court appearances later we were still battling (every case is different). Attorney Bogen was AMAZING. This weighed heavily on me all year, every court appearance I became more anxious & wanted to quit - every time Bogen reassured me & reminded me "let me handle this, this is my job." I interviewed 3 attorneys & hired Bogen, one of the best decisions I have made. You can imagine how heavy his case load is with more detailed, profitable cases yet he was always attentive to my needs and concerns. When I needed reassurance, he was there. He didn't make me feel like I wasn't important. I wasn't just a number or just income for him. He listened & he fought for me. Attorney Bogen was professional and didn't lack in any details in my case. He is honest & tells you straight forward, he will not sugar coat anything to make it sound good. I personally witnessed how respected he is among other attorneys and the officials in the court system. His confidence is unmeasurable and it shows. He knows what he is doing. His office staff is just as courteous and kind. I saw the late hours they put in to be prepared for their cases. He shines brighter among other attorneys due to the personal attention he gives and the fact he truly loves his job. Needless to say, WE WON!!!! It was a victory for us. Battling my ex felt like David & Goliath but Bogen chewed him up & spit him out!! No one would have done what he did. He was up for the challenge and succeeded.
