Areas We Serve
Two Butler County offices, five counties, and the courthouses in Hamilton, Middletown, Lebanon and Eaton where most of our work is filed.
Butler County, Ohio
A practice rooted in Butler County
Butler County runs from Oxford and the Indiana line east to Liberty Township and West Chester, and from Hamilton north through Middletown, Monroe and Trenton. It is roughly 400,000 people, six municipal and area courts, a busy probate court and a domestic relations docket that reflects a county still growing.
We have practiced here long enough to know the difference between how things work on paper and how they work in the building. That means knowing which filings the Butler County Recorder will reject and why, how the probate court prefers an inventory presented, which magistrates hear which dockets, and roughly how long a contested custody case takes to reach hearing in Hamilton. None of that appears in the Revised Code, and all of it affects what your matter costs.
Our Middletown office at 1501 S. Breiel Blvd. serves the northern half of the county and the Warren County communities just across the line. Our Monroe office at 101 E. Elm Street sits near the I-75 corridor between Middletown and West Chester. Both are staffed by the same three partners.
