Testimonials

“We have been very happy with the services of Reminger. Working with Mike Gilbride and Bob Yallech is a pleasure. They, and the other Reminger lawyers that serve us outside of Ohio, understand us as a client and know how we like to do things. It sounds very simple, but not every attorney/firm understands the importance of listening to and knowing the client.”
-Christopher, Manager of Legal and Consumer Affairs
