Rittgers & Rittgers, Attorneys at Law - Lebanon, OH

I contacted Rittgers and Rittgers and Steve Kilburn talked to me about my case and met me in person before I even hired him and from the beginning I could tell he had my families well being at the forefront and I felt at peace with him. Steve always kept me informed and worked diligently in representing me. I pray I never need this kind of service again but i wouldn't hesitate in calling Steve for anything.

I hired Eric on two different matters and straight up I saw why only the best of the best come from Rittgers and Rittgers. This man is like superman with his craft. So amazing. He won't back down and fights for you like you are his family. Seriously this guy.....wow. Don't ignore this message folks. He's who you need. Easily accessible and his assistant Amy is seriously the hardest working most knowledgeable paralegal and no other paralegal can ever come close. Hire the top shelf. You want to win right? Well come to this man.

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 such a great experience come out of something bad that happened. I would give way more than 5 stars if I could. I will recommend Rittgers & Rittgers to everyone!! Thank you guys so so much :)

Eric Allen and Amy (paralegal) were extremely helpful in resolving my SSI case. They were able to go through all my documents and records from the doctors and form a strong case on why I needed my disability after I was first denied by SS. They were thorough and read through everything. They gave me confidence in knowing that my future was in their hands. They both took a ton of anxiety off my plate and Eric was very good at listening and making the meetings unintimidating. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of my hearing, especially since I did not even need to testify before the judge, because they did their jobs so well. I highly recommend Eric and Amy for anyone who has been denied SSI and are looking to appeal their case, via a hearing. I am very glad I chose Eric and Amy to represent me and help me get the outcome I wanted. Thank you!

Samantha Wicktora did a great job in handling my divorce and she has an extensive amount of knowledge in guiding me through the ins and outs and ups and downs. Very patient. I am pleased.

As with all divorce and custody matters, I was hoping to maintain a neutral and equal part in my daughters lives thru a difficult time. I went in expecting the worse due to partly being a Dad. Samantha was caring and understanding from the start. She takes her job seriously and showed the utmost professionalism while negotiating me a deal that brought balance back into our lives. I couldn’t ask for better.

I was a former partner at a large law firm in Cincinnati. I have worked with many attorneys throughout my career. Eric Allen and his paralegal, Amy, handled a case for me during 2021 and both exhibited extremely high technical ability in their fields. They were responsive and were successful in obtaining a great result in my case. I highly recommend Eric and Amy and the Rittgers law firm in general.

Steve Kilburn was amazing! He was informative and responsive to my family. He came up with a unique approach to our case that resulted in the best outcome we could hope for. I would hire him again without reservations. He was very patient with my endless questions about court proceedings, as I had no prior experience with the court system.

Attorney Nick Graman and his assistant Vi Hopkins were excellent to work with. Communication was always clear and they answered my questions promptly. I would not hesitate to recommend them and the firm in general to family and friends.

JR and Jenn were very professional and courteous. They handled my case in a speedy manner and got the results I wanted within my budget. They treat you like family- they are #1 in my book, never been treated so well. HIGHLY recommend!! Will always be my go to if in need! Cannot thank them enough for all they did. - Very happy client

Konrad defended our daughter who was sexually assaulted by a neighbor. The defendant was particularly difficult, dragging us through every legal obstacle. He guided us through the process all the way through trial, which we ultimately won. Thank God for Konrad and the Rittgers law firm.

Konrad Kircher represented me with my lawsuit against the man that sexually assaulted me. I was a teenager at the time and seeing how Mr. Kircher advocated and empowered survivors of these gender-based crimes inspired me. This inspiration led me to pursue my own legal career. I see Mr. Kircher as a role model and a lawyer I aspire to be like. He is compassionate, understanding, and extremely professional. I have seen lawyers solely represent their clients, but Mr. Kircher goes above and beyond just representing; he genuinely cares about you and your case. I highly recommend. Mr. Kircher.

Excellent communication throughout the process with very clear expectations. Definitely a professional team that is easy to work with and delivers results.

I had the pleasure of working with Barb Strady and Danielle Coots. They were always there for me and always had my back. I felt secure in the knowledge that they were working for my best interest and would do the right thing. Best team ever!

Samantha was great to work with. She helped me thru a very difficult time in my life. Samantha is extremely professional yet compassionate and empathetic. I would recommend her legal services.

I have been involved in the legal profession my entire adult life, first as a court reporter and later as a legal assistant/paralegal. I know many many attorneys and when my 35 year marriage was ending I contacted Rittgers & Rittgers. Ellen highly recommended Kourtney Brueckner. When I met Kourtney I was very impressed, she is extremely intelligent, things quickly on her feet, and is absolutely unflappable. I cannot emphasize enough how important these traits are in a divorce proceeding. Every time there was a decision to be made Kourtney would present options, not tell me what to do. (Which many attorneys do.) She understand that the decisions in a divorce are decisions that affect your life and are yours to make. I refer to Kourtney as my secrete weapon, she is soft spoken and looks like an angel this works to your advantage because I assure you she is a force to be reckoned with. I promise you, you could not be in better hands.

Neal is awesome! Great work with my issue very caring! Thanks neal!

We hired lawyer Steve Kilburn to help us with our son’s case in October 2019. He communicated with us on a regular basis and explained everything very clearly along the way. He made a stressful situation as smooth and painless as possible. Everything was resolved in a positive way within a few months. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Steve Kilburn was the best. Patiently answered all my questions, provided timely updates and most importantly conducted brilliant deposition and discovery with equally skilled guidance on witness testimony and hearing experience. Could not have asked for a better outcome to painful and terrible family accusations and charges.

I came here coz my wife filed for a divorce and I wanted to save the marriage. It was a tough process, but Samantha was very compassionate and supported me throughout the process. I couldn’t save my marriage, but I sure came out of it in much lesser pain than I would have without Samantha’s help and guidance.

I highly recommend Nick. He & his staff did a fantastic job for me and on many questions/calls he calmed my nerves each and every time. I can not Thank him enough. A Great Law Firm

Highly recommended very impressed by return phone calls or emails , good communication about the case very professional

Steve Kilburn was amazing. He came extremely prepared and helped me in so many ways. I’m so thankful for him and his team and highly recommended them.

The staff was wonderful to work with. Steve really cared about my case and everything went out in my favor in the end. I would use this law firm again and highly recommend to anyone.

Juliette was very professional and always looked out for my best interest. She was always in contact and always kept me in the loop!

I found Rittgers & Rittgers to be very helpful in resolving my legal issues. They responded quickly to my questions and their legal advice and handling of my case were completed professionally and in my best interest. I will definitely use them again if needed.

I contacted a couple of attorneys in the local area before I spoke to Steve. I instantly felt Steve cared about my situation. He was helpful, knowledgeable and honest. He helped me to understand the realistic nature but also gave off a positive feeling of what he would be able to do. He made everything seamless and I didn't need to be involved for the most part. Following the initial information he gave me about our outcomes, he managed to far surpass expectations and get an even better outcome than I could've expected. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney.I contacted a couple of attorneys in the local area before I spoke to Steve.

I was very pleased with Steve Kilburn’s actions on my case. I found him to be very knowledgeable and experienced. He was dedicated to guiding me to what was best for me. I appreciated his honesty.

Great experience with this firm. I was in contact with their Oxford, OH branch and can't recommend them enough. Fast replies and were able to help me out with an appointment the very next business day. They were professional, personable, and answered all my questions. Highly recommend!

I would absolutely recommend the Rittgers & Rittgers firm. I'm a student at Miami from out of state so I did not have my parents nearby to help me with everything. The law clerk was very communicative and was always easy to contact, and answered all of my questions. Everything was articulated to me in a way that made it clear for me to understand as I have no familiarity with the courts system. Everything in my case was handled very cleanly and was able to be resolved with the University and with the state of Ohio and was taken off my permanent record. Rittgers & Rittgers has a lot of experience working with students and is well-versed in the legalities of the University and how it works with the state. I am so grateful to them for helping me through this!!

I was referred to Barb and Danielle when I was in a car accident that resulted in an injury. I am so thankful for that! They took care of everything which allowed me to focus on my recovery without having to worry about dealing with the insurance companies or hospital. I appreciate the professionalism and I truly feel they had my best interest at heart. I would recommend this law firm to anyone who would need legal help. I hope to never have to use them again but if I do, I will be calling Barb!

An attorney met with in person to discuss my case. She was extremely personable and professional. She tracked down every bit of paperwork related to my medical expenses and worked with the other driver’s insurance company to make sure that all of my bills were paid properly so that I didn’t incur any debt from an auto accident that wasn’t my fault. I really appreciated her diligence and thoroughness. The high professional standards as well as the easy to understand communications from the staff at Rittgers and Rittgers are commendable. I hope I never need to use their services again, but if I did, I wouldn’t hesitate to call them again or recommend them to others.

Barb Strady and Danielle Coots have been outstanding in my legal representation. They have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful through my situation. They have always answered my questions questions quickly. I would highly recommend them for your legal needs.

I hired Juliette Gaffney Dame to handle my divorce. I could not have been happier. She was professional, very knowledgeable, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Her and her staff were very prompt anytime I had any questions. This was my only divorce so I had a lot of questions. Hire her! You won't be disappointed!

Juliette was incredible to work with. She was understanding that the process of divorce isn't an easy one, never pushing any hasty decisions. Juliette always kept things real, clear, and concise. If I had any questions whatsoever, she took the time to review them in detail. There was even an evening where I emailed her extremely upset (and I am not the type to just frivolously email) and she called me right away to tell me the next steps as well as calm my nerves. It was like talking to a friend, not an attorney. Then there is Lori - wow was she great too! Lori jumped in on my case right in the middle, which would make most people uneasy; but instantly I felt a connection to her and she helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel when quite frankly, I couldn't always see. With both of them, I felt prepared for what has now passed and any events in the future. Highly recommend!

Nick Graman and his assistant were very helpful and worked very hard on my case to achieve the best result possible. They were both very quick to answer any questions that I had and put me at ease. I would highly recommend Mr. Graman for all your legal needs

Mr. Graman navigated our family through a difficult time with proper advice and professionalism, resulting in a very favorable outcome. I certainly recommend Attorney Nick Graman and the Rittgers & Rittgers Law Firm.

Nic was great he helped my son through his dui and was very catering and compassionate . The office staff was also great very catering and helped us through the process highly recommend them if you need help

I’m a crime victim and I was Konrad Kircher’s client. The FBI agents had so much compassion for my situation that they referred me to FBI victim specialists to protect me and the prosecutor had written many emails to encourage me. Hiring Konrad Kircher is the wrongest decision I’ve made. He took a lot of money from me, yelled at me, and when I revealed his misconducts, he even intentionally filed fake pleadings in Court in an effort to attack me in retaliation. Afterwards, he even threatened to sue me! I know he is going to make false denial by saying this review is fake and he would start faking a whole bunch of fake allegations in his reply only to attack his client. I wish I could attach all the evidence on here. but this website doesn’t allow me to attach screenshot. I’m extremely concerned that the pain of other victims would also be deepened by Konrad Kircher treating them disrespectfully. I chose to hire Kircher in the beginning because he is way more expensive, I expected a better representation based on more money he requests. However, 1. Kircher lies and does not even show basic respect nor sympathy 2. What Kircher wants is just money rather than helping crime victims Facts: (1) When we first talked, Kircher emailed me “if you have other attorneys interested in representing you, I suggest you go with them.” But Right after I told him that I had $5,000 dollars lawyer fees, he immediately changed his mind and took my $5,000 dollars. After I said I had money, He initiated the call to me and asked me to send money to his office!! I never insisted on hiring him because he does not have good reputation! (2) During the representation, Kircher yelled at me, “So I am done with these games. There is only one person wasting time and it is you. If you want to keep fighting this senseless battle against ___, then find another lawyer.” (3) Kircher also emailed me, “I suspect you are playing games. You have a history of being deceptive.” While he did not prove if I lied, he directly called me deceptive only because he wanted to yell at me and at the same time he wanted to charge me more money by wasting the time. Kircher shows no compassion nor respect but only insult and rudeness to his clients. He lied to me about himself being compassionate and respectful, but these are all lies. (4) As the bill showed, Kircher even charged me $245 dollars and $805 dollars on writing these insulting emails to me! As Kircher’s client, I had to pay for these insulting emails from him! (5) Kircher asked me to email him back and forward more than 10 times because my signature did not look the way he wanted while I already used other legal documents to prove that it was indeed my signature. He charged me $805 dollars for these emails. On top of his previous behaviors, I highly suspect that he was wasting time in order to get more attorney fees. My concerns: Kircher knows that I am indeed a crime victim based on the statements from law enforcement that I sent to him. I’m very shocked by his actions---he lies and does not even show basic respect nor compassion. He is a liar, who insults his client and takes clients’ money! And Kircher even threatened to sue me when I disclosed his disrespects!! Fun fact: I posted a review in mid Feb 2021, but somehow Kircher or somebody else removed it. So now I reposted it. What’s interesting was that right after I posted a truthful negative review for Kircher (in mid Feb 2021), Kircher, who rarely gets reviews in the past 30 years, immediately got two positive reviews on 2/21/2021 and 2/22/2021 (two days in a row). However, Kircher rarely got reviews (whether good or bad) in the past years. I thus highly suspect that he faked those good reviews for himself, which I’m not surprised by his falsification as he had lied to me too many times.

It was both a privilege and a pleasure to work with Barbara Strady at Rittgers and Rittgers. After firing my original attorney of eighteen months, I found myself in a situation where I needed to scramble to find someone good who also specializes in personal injury law, before the statute ran out. Rittgers and Rittgers responded to me the morning after I submitted an on-line query for help. I was in contact with Barb right away and signed with her the very next week. Barb has thirty years of experience in personal injury case law. Her respect for others, her knowledge, patience, kindness and sincere personal concern, changed my personal injury lawsuit experience from one fraught with pain and difficulty, to one of team effort, hope and compassion. Barb Strady has a natural inclination and desire to help people. After I told Barb the details of my injuries, she recommended that I get a second opinion from a doctor who had helped other clients. I followed this advice. Two surgeries and several months of physical therapy later, I am grateful to say that I have decreased pain, increased joint stability and a much increased opportunity to walk unassisted with fewer after effects. In conclusion, it is my experience that both sides of this PI argument were treated with fairness, honor and integrity by Barb Strady and her staff. Barb was able to draw my case to an equitable conclusion just recently. I now find myself not wanting to say goodbye to Barb or her amazing paralegal, Danielle Coots.

At the beginning of the year, I was under investigation for a very serious criminal charge, with potential jail time for 20+ years. This had been my very first dealing with the judicial system and it brought a great deal of stress to me and my family. I am a professional and a charge of any kind would have been the end for me and my family. All my years of professional work would have gone to waste, had I gone to jail. After extensive research, I chose to work with Nicholas Graman from Rittgers & Rittgers. He was very calm, relaxed, and he paid great attention to the details of my case. I expected a scary, painful, and stressful experience due to the circumstances, but Nick made me feel better, stronger, and have faith in the process. With his carful insight into the law process he ensured that the investigation was dropped with no charges against me! Without the help of Nick and his extensive team, my life and career would have been over. I am forever in debt to them, and I can now look back at this experience and continue my career with my family. I highly recommend Nick. Thank You.

We came to Rittgers & Rittgers seeking help for our disability case. Eric Allen and Amy were wonderful. They guided us through every step of the process and really fought for us. Peace of mind is priceless. That is what we had with them leading the way through the maze of the government system.

Konrad Kircher agreed to represent me in my sexual abuse case against the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. At the time, little was known about the extent of the abuse committed by priests in the Archdiocese. As it turned out there were many victims. Konrad not only represented me but became the voice of those abused by priests in this region. He advocated on our behalf and tirelessly pursued justice for all victims. Never once did he attempt to exploit the pain and suffering of the victims for personal or professional gain. Through the years that the case took to reach resolution Konrad was as much a counselor to me as he was an attorney. He kept the press from harassing my family and me, he advised me about issues related to joining/leading advocacy groups and he provided sound reasoning to me about how taking different actions in the lawsuit could affect my family and me personally. He always had our best interest in mind. Since my case first began and became public knowledge, I recommended several victims to Konrad and he didn’t turn any of them away and took great care to treat them with the same respect and dignity he showed me.

Konrad Kirtcher and his firm represented me in a case centered around childhood sex-abuse. Despite the fact that the events had occured more than a decade previously they worked hard and were able to help me come to a resolution and finally get some closure. Throughout the case Konrad was thoughtful and sensitive to the emotional nature of this case. I couldn't have asked for better counsel. In the past I've had some negative experiences with attorneys but, my experience with this firm was totally different. I would not hesitate to recommend this team to friends or family.

Eric Allen is absolutely tremendous! He and Amy went above and beyond, fighting tooth and nail (in appeal) to win our disability case. They were patient with our questions and helped us navigate a complex situation. Words can't express our gratitude for their professionalism and compassion. Absolutely recommend.

I came back to this law firm a second time because of the superior service I got the first time. I e-mailed the firm. I quickly got a response. Very professional. Was quickly referred to Attorney Nicholas Graman and his assistant Vi Hopkins. Spoke and discussed the case with Nick. He took the case, and it was successfully litigated in my favor. Both Nick and Vi were very understanding, and amazing to work with. I am 100% satisfied with their service, and I would definitely recommend Rittgers & Rittgers, and would use their services again myself.

Kourtney represented me in a very complex divorce and always looked out for my best interests. She made a very difficult situation much easier to navigate. She communicated very well and always in a timely manner.

I was referred to Nicholas Graman for a pending civil stalking order that was issued for bogus reasons. Nick was confident, diligent, and professional. After meeting with him for the first time, I knew he was locked on. He always responded to me promptly. He always made me feel like he had my back. I’m very fortunate he was in my corner. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Nick did exactly what needed to be done in a timely manner - couldn't have asked for better service. Vi kept me up to date and I never had to ask for anything once they were on my case. They make a great team and I would recommend their service.

Barb was professional and drove results for my case! She was very responsive and I was so glad to have her representing me. Thank you! Highly recommend her, Lynda, and the firm!

J.R. Bernans was an excellent attorney to work with. He was quick to respond to all communication, even on a vacation day, and successfully handled my traffic case. I highly recommend Rittgers & Rittgers.

Neil and staff were outstanding to work with: professional, knowledgeable, efficient. They had our best interest at heart all the way along. We were out of state parents that had no idea where to turn or how to handle our situation. Neil was extremely helpful and guided us through the process with an outstanding outcome. I can't thank Jennifer enough either for being so smart and quick with all the paperwork and follow ups that were needed. We are grateful and thankful to have found them.

Ryan McGraw at Rittgers & Rittgers helped my in laws with a lawsuit against a home contractor. He successfully went above and beyond what any other attorney would do. If you’re looking to hire someone that deals with civil lawsuits, Ryan is your guy!

Kourtney Brueckner represented me in my divorce this year, and I could not be more thankful to have had her help. Divorce is definitely the most stressful ordeal I have ever gone through and it was a very long process, but Kourtney was extremely patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and assertive in the most positive sense of the word. In my situation, my ex was unwilling to agree or compromise on anything and Kourtney was an advocate every step of the way, giving me all of my options and working hard to ensure that I received a fair outcome. I would 100% recommend Kourtney Brueckner to anyone in need of an attorney for a divorce or custody-related matter.

I could not ask for a better group of people to help me through my first encounter with the justice system. They treated my low-priority case like I was their only one. I was not expecting them to communicate with me as quickly as they did, in addition to always being willing to answer my questions. They made the process as easy for me as they could.

My lawyer was Edward c Perry.He is lawyer who does not like to work for client. He didn't even show up on the eve of pre-trial and arrived half an hour late on the day. Also,he did not even make efforts to negotiate with the prosecutor and I contacted him on my case, but he didn't reply, even though I paid for my lawyer's fee. Fortunately, the prosecutor herself dismissed my case. He should learn how to deal with clients from the beginning.in the review, I would like to give him a negative without zero. I will never hire a lawyer just by looking at the rate advertised.

I would highly recommend Rittgers & Rittgers. Matt and Suzie are not only professional and knowledgeable, but also kind and responsive. They were very caring and communicative throughout the process. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and their representation.

Samantha helped me through the most difficult time in my life. I cannot thank her enough. I encourage anyone dealing with divorce to contact Rittger & Rittger.

Worked with Samantha and Erin during my divorce case. Good Communication - quick response to all of my questions. Easy to work with and talk to about my case. Was always looking out for my best interest (even when I was just trying to make things go away). Would highly recommend Samantha.
