We Are Very Grateful to This Law Firm
I hired Patituce & Associates for a family member recently. There was one charge of a felony 3, which may have had consequences of up to three years' incarceration. The end result was the felony was reduced, and my family member was able to receive several years' probation and a program, but this allowed him to keep his freedom and be with his family. We are very grateful to this law firm. They worked hard, and Catherine Meehan and Aaron Schwartz were the attorneys that worked on the case. They both were very caring and knowledgeable and professional. Thank you, Patituce & Associates, for being there for us and getting us through this! I definitely believe in them and do recommend them!

Emily Loveland
I’m Very Grateful for the Work Put Into My Case
I don’t typically leave many reviews, but some time has passed to really delve into the positive effects that have occurred since Attorney Cate Purdum took on my case, that in the moments of waiting and getting done what was required, can easily be overlooked when the now mentality becomes the forerunner of the experience when such services are needed.
Without going too much into sensitive information, I will try to share a little about the help I received in regards to an incident that required myself to be separated from my family for about three months. During this time, the services of Patituce & Associates were acquired; Cate drove out to meet with me to help ease any discomfort and kept mostly in contact with me when necessary, though, I would have much preferred more updates or a general hello to remind me I wasn’t forgotten, but this was likely a situational feeling due to the separation.
The judge we had was extremely strict and wanted certain requirements to be completed now, but due to time restraints and the order of which things could be done and when they could be done, we had to be patient and file for motions of continuance.
As this was happening, Cate, and at one point, one of her colleagues, would meet with the prosecutor and myself at each court date with necessary evidence, updates, and advocacy and go before the judge; the charge against me would have been a felony and time served. Though the case was not dismissed, the charge was dropped to a minor misdemeanor with the ability to expunge the verdict from my record after six months, something I plan to do in the future, and no probation.
I’m very grateful for the work put into my case, and for the length, as it gave everyone time to do what they needed and gave me time to receive the therapy I wasn’t ever really able to undergo to heal and learn from childhood trauma and the likes. I’m happy to text, that due to this work we all put in, I have now established two jobs without any issue and I am able to confidently and courageously volunteer within my community and be a growing mother and companion to my family.
You have my sincerest thanks, Patituce & Associates.
With much respect,
J. Bright

He did a fantastic job
I had Aaron Schwartz handle my case. I had a double felony in Medina County that he assisted me with. He did a fantastic job; I was able to get probation on my charges. He was very nice, knew what he was doing, and made me feel very comfortable leading up to my sentencing. I was able to make payments on my attorney fees. Five stars, highly recommend.
