Verified ClientConsulted Law firm 2022-2023This firm has really helped me and kept me informed the entire time. Explained the law in simple manner that I could understand.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2022Kourtney Brueckner was exceptional! I had never hired an attorney before, and I was nervous about the process. Kourtney made it much easier to navigate a difficult custody dispute with a high-conflict ex-partner. She was highly knowledgeable, poised, and articulate, and at every moment I felt that she truly wanted what was best for me and, most importantly, my children. She made it easy for me to understand options and outcomes and was careful to avoid an adversarial approach. She was prompt, efficient, and responsive in communications. She was respectful to opposing counsel. She was reassuring and able to see many perspectives in my situation. Most importantly, she helped protect my kids and me when we needed it most. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a good family lawyer. Thank you, Kourtney!

Firm Information
Overview
Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima has a history of success spanning decades in the area of personal injury, and criminal defense cases. We are respected by other lawyers, judges, and within the local community. We are frequently asked to represent other lawyers and their family members, and are often asked to co-counsel cases with other law firms.
Personal injury and wrongful death
Our plaintiff personal injury team has achieved significant verdicts and settlements in cases other lawyers refused to accept. We have obtained several multimillion-dollar recoveries for families who suffered because of the careless behavior of corporations and other people. We are passionate about helping people, and work hard to hold insurance companies and corporations responsible.
Criminal defense and OVI
The criminal defense attorneys at Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima handle some of the high-profile cases in southern Ohio and have a history of success in jury trials when favorable plea bargains are not offered. Our attorneys have achieved not guilty verdicts in cases, including murder, OVI, domestic violence and sex offense charges, where no plea bargain was offered by the prosecutor. We will hold the government to its burden and vigorously defend the accused.
