Tom was incredibly helpful representing me in an OVI case. He has a ton of experience, is extremely knowledgeable of every facet of the process, and was able to successfully argue for a reduction. I would be in dire straits if not for him. Cost was very reasonable and affordable, as well. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer, this is the place to call.

I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Mr. DiCaudo. He recently represented my husband on a OVI charge. He was easy to communicate with, was extremely knowledge of the process, and paid attention to detail. He was very willing to follow whatever process benefited my husband, filing appropriate motions and investigating the facts of the case. Ultimately he negotiated a very advantageous deal, but he never made my husband feel forced to take it, and was willing to go with whatever we wanted. He is very personable, easy to talk to, and good at explaining the law in understandable terms

Tom DiCaudo is the best lawyer that you can ask for. Very polite, incredibly knowledgeable, and very effective at his craft. Fast and easy to talk to. You truly get the feeling that he cares about you. If anything ever happens again, I'm going straight back to him. I will always keep his card in my wallet.

Reid yoder manages properties including bailey rd in cuyahoga falls. The building is neglected and there have been FOUR floods with no solution to the problem, causing tenants to be homeless with their belongings completely ruined. Communication is scarce and the people are taken advantage of time and time again. Black mold is throughout the building. Horrible people
