This included responding to a call on the weekend when he was in a wedding. He provided excellent insight and guidance throughout the criminal process. While I would have provided an excellent review based solely on his work on this matter, I am pleased to report that he was able to obtain the best possible result in my son's case. In addition, he provided invaluable information about the university administrative process. We were also able to obtain the best result in that matter.

Drove up from out of state for a family reunion. Ohio State Troopers were out en masse for a Labor…read moreDay 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 nuance to the case. We discussed strategies, and probable outcomes. And while I know that everyone will not be as fortunate as I in their legal disputes, JR was able to reduce my speeding ticket to a nonmoving violation. This guy is GOOD at his job. Took all of the hassle and stress out of the equation for me. ac And while I can't vouch for the firm at large, I expect that if they attract talented attorneys like JR, working with Rittgers and Rittgers is probably going to be a great experience for you. It certainly was for me.

It was just arraignment hearing.so easy job read the charges enter a plea and negotiate bond. While Mr. Washington was reading the charges he blurped out "Jesus" and could not complete his sentence after that. He never said another word in defense of my family member. This is per Mr. Washington's web site and it is so true: "Remember, regardless of the crime or legal issue, we will stand by you when you have your day in court." That is literally all he did was stand by him and maybe hurt my family members case by stopping mid sentence to say "Jesus" while reviewing the charges. Horrible attorney

My father holds a Class A license, so avoiding points on his record was extremely important. Andrew was able to negotiate and resolve the matter by having the citation amended to a non-moving equipment violation with 0 points assessed. We were very happy with the outcome. Communication was clear throughout the process, and he responded promptly whenever we had questions. I highly recommend Andrew Mick to anyone looking for an attorney who is efficient, knowledgeable, and truly works to get the best possible result for his clients.

I replied back that evening, stating I had already written up a summary for both matters and that they might want to look them over before a discussion, to properly assess the matters. 3/18/25: I heard nothing. 3/19/25: I heard nothing. 3/19/25: I filled out a followup webform thinking maybe my email was marked as spam. I also followed up with a message on their answering service. 3/20/25: I received a form-letter response indicating that "based on the details I had provided" (mind you, I hadn't provided ANY yet), the firm was not interested in my case. I emailed back asking how such a determination could have been made when they had failed to respond to my question regarding the delivery of those details. I heard nothing. 3/21/25: I heard nothing. 3/24/25: I located a different "office" email address online and emailed the details of my experience, asking a supervisor to get back to me explaining how such a thing could happen (as a business owner myself, if an employee of mine were rejecting business without thoroughly assessing, I'd want to know). 3/25/25: I've still heard nothing, and don't expect to at this point... I'd like to say this was an isolated incident, but the reality is, 4 different times, via 3 different contact methods, messages were ignored, so that tends to suggests this is "business-as-usual" for them. I hope you all have better luck, but I don't get the sense these folks really care. It's a shame, because one of the attorneys came highly recommended.

Then he looked at the court records on these two guys in question and said that there was conflicting interest so I said well thanks for wasting my time and he arrogantly exclaimed same after I left I got to thinking he is trying to stall because they were clients of his or the firm hoping to get past the statue of limitations so in short, I believe he was trying to win the case for them by stalling and trying to talk me out of it I believe it is extremely unethical to lead me to believe that he would represent me, but was only trying to keep me from suing his clients-and if I could prove it, it would probably be grounds for disbarment well for him. I recorded everything the last laugh may be on him.

I do not recommend this man or their team who can't simply fill paperwork out in a timely manner. They claim I wasn't their client but I paid them. So how does that work? They also lied in court stating they sent out letters claiming people were told they were supposed to go to court but the majority of people didn't get the letter or the postage stamp was dated after the court date.
