    The Resolution Exceeded My Expectations
    I retained Patituce & Associates to handle a traffic matter for my son in Parma Municipal Court. Attys. Catherine Meehan and Aaron Schwartz helped on the case. The office was in regular contact with key updates as the case progressed, and I always felt that my son was in good hands. Atty. Schwartz arrived promptly to court and had the case resolved quickly. The resolution actually exceeded my expectations. As an attorney of 28 years myself, I had a number of choices when it came to helping my family. I chose Patituce & Associates and, when it matters, so should you. Thanks again.

    Helped me stay out of jail
    Catherine Meehan helped me stay out of jail on a 3rd offense OVI. She is responsive and very smart! She helped get me the best outcome for my situation that works for both me and the court. Because of her honesty, diligence, and knowledge of the law I get to remain out of jail, which allows me to keep my job and continue to support my family. Patituce Law and Associates does not disappoint! The legal assistants do a fine job behind the scenes and overall I am grateful to everyone who has had a hand in my case. I would definitely recommend this firm and I would use them again in the future if needed (hopefully will not need to again, though). I am a second-time client, by the way! Thank you again, Attorney Meehan! Thank you, Patituce Law and Associates 🙏🙏🙏

    Able to Avoid a Conviction
    I recently had the unfortunate experience of being charged with a DUI. I was terrified and didn't know where to turn. That's when I found Rachelle Smith and her team at this law firm. From the moment I first called, they were kind, understanding, and professional. They walked me through every step of the process and fought tirelessly to get my charges reduced. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to avoid a conviction and keep my license. I can't thank them enough for their help!

    DUI Charges Dismissed, Grateful for Catherine
    I cannot express my gratitude enough for the outstanding legal representation provided by Catherine Meehan. Facing DUI charges was an incredibly stressful and uncertain experience, but throughout the entire process, Catherine demonstrated unwavering dedication and professionalism. The moment Catherine successfully had my DUI charges dismissed was a huge relief for me and my family. She not only saved me from severe legal consequences and fees but also provided emotional support throughout the challenging process. I am immensely grateful for her unwavering commitment to securing the best possible outcome for me. If you find yourself in need of an exceptional lawyer, I wholeheartedly recommend Catherine to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation. Thank you, Catherine, for giving me a second chance.
