I have been involved in what turned out to be an extremely nasty custody, cpo appeals and four criminal case in three different counties. I felt defeated with no way out of the mess I was in. I was able too keep custody of my two children durning this time and have since went on to win every case against us because of this firm. I can't find the words to describe what each individual from this firm has done for me and my daughters. I was represented by three attorneys ( Michelle, Chris, Ron) going into this dark part of my life, I knew this firm was a group of the best in Ohio as I was referred by a highly respected local attorney saying " these guys are who you want, they are the best in Ohio". So they're reputation wasn't what surprised me. It was the balance of personality's in the firm that creates the ability to be the best in Ohio. Everyone from the office manager/Andrea to Jaime and Amanda/ paralegals and down the line. When one individual would be straight forward the other would give hope and reassurance and another would relate and understand. They kept me sane durning the hardest time of my life and gave me something no amount of money could be enough. After going through situations that was set up to break me, it's been a blessing that I had everyone from the Petroff law office on my side. The way they make you feel will give you hope and strength to get through the things needed. Every individual at the firm is literally the best at what they do. The atmosphere, camaraderie and sense of family in the Petroff office is something special to walk into. I will recommend And be indebted to this office for the rest of my life read more

I can't say enough good things about Petroff Law Offices. Going through a divorce is never easy, but they really made the whole process so much less stressful than I expected. Right from my first visit, everyone there was just genuinely nice and understanding - not what you'd expect from lawyers, honestly! My attorney took the time to really listen to my situation and explain everything without all the legal jargon that usually goes over my head. What I loved most was that they actually returned my calls and emails quickly. I've dealt with other law offices before where you feel like you're bothering them, but not here. They made me feel like my case actually mattered to them. The whole thing wrapped up faster than I thought it would, and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. If you're dealing with any kind of family legal stuff and need someone who will actually fight for you while treating you like a human being, definitely give them a call. Worth every penny! -Jack M read more

I had an excellent experience with Petroff Law Offices. From the beginning, the attorneys and staff were professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about Ohio family law. They took the time to understand my situation, explained my options clearly, and gave me straightforward advice rather than simply telling me what I wanted to hear. What impressed me most was how prepared and strategic they were throughout my case. I always felt that there was a plan and that my attorney was thinking several steps ahead. Family law matters can be incredibly stressful, but having an experienced team handling the case gave me confidence throughout the process. The entire staff was professional and treated my case as important. I would highly recommend Petroff Law Offices to anyone looking for experienced and effective representation in a divorce, custody, or other family law matter. They were also very reasonably priced given their competitors. read more

Not to mention, he has a sense of humility about him and definitely is not an attorny that others want to argue with. 100% I recommend Ronald and his team.

Hands-down to number one lawyer Ron Petroff I must let everyone know this. I was going through a divorce I had a long marriage I thought that I was going to lose this case. I hired another lawyer from Massucci Law group they did not do much for me I felt like they did not have the best interest for me I almost lost my case. A friend of mine told me about Petroff Law. Ron was my lawyer when I took him my paperwork he did a 360 on my whole case. When this case was over I pretty much got everything and then some that I did not think could happen I am the most happiest man right now. I cannot thank him enough the only thing I can do is write this review I now have his number locked in my phone. M Campbell read more

*updating review since Mr. Petroff said he worked with me in 2014... I guess Mr. Petroff mistakenly thinks about someone else from 2014. I guess I'm not the only one who he mistreated like me. I found out about Mr. Petroff many years after 2014.... I was happily married in 2014 and didn't plan my divorce for many years after. Obviously, I haven't even heard about Mr. Petroff and his business the years he mentioned in his last comments. I would recommend Mr.Petroff to do not lie about his business and his clients and accept negative reviews and learn from them.****************and for his clients I recommend to double think before hiring him. Especially this recommendation applies to women. Good luck! read more
