The receipt most law firms won't show you

See what it costs. Before you call.

Pick your situation. We will show you our real published flat fees or ranges for that path, in plain numbers, with nothing hidden. More than nine in ten firms refuse to do this. We think you deserve to see it.

What we handle.

Six lanes, one standard: plain English, flat fees where we can quote them, and a real person on the other end. Tap a lane to see the numbers.

Why this firm

Fifteen years of showing up.

On record for Central Ohio:
+ Election Protection counsel, Franklin County, 2004
+ Filed a challenge to Ohio's 2004 presidential results (Moss v. Bush; Moss v. Moyer)
+ Complaints that helped reopen Antioch College
+ Legal counsel for Occupy Columbus

We started in 2010 with a simple idea: a law firm can stand for something and still tell you the price up front. That is the through-line of everything on this page.

Our founding partner built a public record standing up for voters, students and neighbors in Central Ohio, not for headlines, but because showing up is the job. That same instinct is what you get when you sit down with us today: someone who takes your matter seriously, explains it plainly, and does not talk down to you.

One lawyer, both sides of a home sale. Managing partner Connie Gadell-Newton is a real estate attorney and a licensed Realtor. She can help you buy or sell the home and handle the legal side of the deal, so you are not juggling two people who never talk to each other.

Helped me with my case with an injury I had, after a distracted driver rear ended me. Great staff and attorneys always willing to help.

Great attorneys, responsive staff. Lucky a friend referred them and I pass their name to anyone who needs legal help.

I had two different cases that both had very positive outcomes considering the situations. I really appreciated the thorough work.
