I really enjoyed working with Barb,Tom, Eric, Lynda and Amy at the Lebanon Ohio office at Rittgers and Rittgers law. They were very nice, helpful, professional , and did everything in a timely manner and also did everything they could do to help me win my personal injury case, and my Social Security/Disability case after being denied for the 1st hearing. I was involved in a gas leak explosion in December 2019, and I broke my back in 2 places, had cuts and lacerations, and developed many other after effects as a result of the explosion/accident. Barb, Tom, Lynda, Eric and Amy helped me win both

I enjoyed working with Steve Kilbourne. Steve is a lawyer who cares about his clients. He is a lawyer who is there to help his clients not just to work to make money. He helped my nephew on his charges. 6 Felonies down to 6 Misdemeanors. who can beat that?

Nick was professional and responsive for my case. He is very to the point and ready to get things settled appropriately. What I will say most of all, however, was that he was also caring. During my father's death when I was falling apart and needed an answer at 10 pm, he listened. And first thing in the morning he was at the courthouse fighting for my right to be at my dying father's bedside. I will never be able to repay him for that.

Barb and Dani took care of me like family. I had no idea what to expect 2 years ago after my accident. I contacted Charlie looking for some direction and he set me up with Barb Strady. I couldn't be more happy with what she, Dani and the rest of the firm has done for me. They are a first class operation.

Samantha Wicktora and Lori Record, from Ritggers and Rittgers, are the BEST lawyer team I could have chosen, where wonderful to deal with, I appreciated their hard work they did on my divorce. I am happy with my outcome, they listened, recommended, suggested, always responded promptly and answered all my questions and concerns. I always felt I was their #1 priority, helped me through the stress and anxiety of a divorce.

Steve Kilburn was an amazing attorney. He provided excellent service at a reasonable price. His efforts were evident. He went above and beyond to ensure the correct outcome was achieved. Having an advocate like Steve in your corner is highly recommended. Navigating the courts is difficult and full of pitfalls. His professionalism and genuine passion for justice and the law is clearly displayed in his tireless efforts in my specific matter. Highly recommended by myself and others. His skill was invaluable.

Attorney Barb Strady is absolutely amazing!! So very happy I got a referral to her to handle my personal injury case. I was in a pretty bad car accident and I've never been through this kind of situation and so I was super nervous. Barb put me at ease the very first day I came into the office! She always emailed me right back and answered all of my questions. Dani is equally amazing! She kept me updated and sent me reminders for every important date. Barb told me that Dani helped get photos that were beneficial to my case. They went above and beyond for me. Overall I feel very blessed to have had

My mom was in a car accident that was a tough thing to deal with- managing injuries and all details related to the insurance and car. We hired Barb Strady at this law firm and she promptly went to work for her, successfully advocating on her behalf to guide and resolve her case. We were pleased with the outcome and monetary award for all that my mother went through. I would highly recommend Barbara and her team.

I highly recommend attorney Ed Perry with Rittgers and Rittgers. He was able to get me out of a protection order that was based on lies and false accusations. Ed was extremely prepared and 100% professional throughout the hearing and was able to get everything dismissed before I even had to testify. He went above and beyond and I'm extremely grateful for his professionalism and expertise. Thank you Ed and the rest of the Rittgers and Rittgers staff!

Drove up from out of state for a family reunion. Ohio State Troopers were out en masse for a Labor Day ticket bonanza. I'm good at dodging those... usually. But this time I got speeding ticket from a State Trooper who is smarter than the Waze app.

(He used moving radar, got me on I-71 at mile marker 34, which is not half a mile from where the speed limit raises from 65 to 75. This guy knows exactly how to game the system.)

Working with Attorney JR Bernans was a breeze. He advised me on the current state of the local prosecutor (some recent personnel changes at the courthouse added some

I hired with Steve Kilburn, Rittgers & Rittgers , for my juvenile son who was charged with a motor vehicle offense. During our initial meeting with Steve, he treated my son with the utmost respect and allayed his fears and anxiety about facing the juvenile judge. He explained the paths that the judge could take and what he would try to negotiate.

Steve represented us well and was able to get driving privileges and the minimum suspension for my son.
I would recommend Steve to anyone who required services for a juvenile offender.

I was in an auto accident which was not my fault. I knew I needed a lawyer to help with my case. It can be a shot in the dark just picking a lawyer out of a google search, but I feel I made a fantastic choice with Eric from Rittgers & Rittgers. His assistant Daphne was a joy to work with and kept me updated on the status of the claim. I ended up settling and am very happy with the results.. I fully recommend their services.

My experience with this group was neck injury and while it drug on for months without any contact from one of the lawyers when he did contact me the statutes of limitations for my case in certain respects were coming near, he then told me he couldn't help me and I received that information from the receptionist then a lot later I was sent a letter from him, it was a waste of my time I had missed work for months and they did nothing to help, I would not recommend these attorneys if its not worth there time then they drop you without correct notice

Stephen Kilburn represented me in court. I was referred to Rittgers & Rittgers by a friend and couldn't be happier for choosing them. I faced an OVI conviction and Steve was very informative in the process. I was confident I chose the right attorney when I first met him in court. He knew his was around the courtroom and seemed to have a positive dialogue with the prosecutor from the get go. He was straight forward and to the point of what could happen but explained the process of resolving the issue. Steve was always a phone call or email away with any questions. His price was more than

I have been wrongly accused at my workplace. My sister needed a best lawyer for me. So as most people do she asked for recommendations and did some searches online. She found Charlie M. Rittgers based on good reviews. She was little hesitant at first but honestly Charlie makes her feel so welcome and comfortable that She decided to go ahead with him. Charlie is extremely knowledgeable, professional and most importantly, compassionate. He will fight tooth and nail to get you the best outcome that he possibly can. Absolutely amazing experience. Listened to my problem, and represented me and my sister

Working with Ed Perry from Rittgers & Rittgers, I came to realize that attorneys actually do work beyond office hours. Ed was communicative all the way through the process, he handled the case well and had a great understanding of both the legal process and of the stakeholders.

We got the result we worked for and Ed was a large part of that.

Thanks Ed.

After another member of my family used the services of Rittgers and Rittgers due to an OVI charge with outstanding results, I called for a consultation regarding some issues I had in my former place of employment.

I spoke with Charlie Rittgers who was extremely helpful, and listened carefully to my concerns about some activities going on in my place of employment at the time. We scheduled a meeting with another attorney who specialized in employment law. One of my former managers came along, and we had a meeting with Charlie and the employment attorney. They were extremely patient and considered
