The Law Offices of Attorney Daniel W. Gehr provide a wide range of legal services to meet your everyday needs.  Please click on the index below to view just some of the ways we can assist you in protecting your rights:

Injury Law Services
Personal Injury/Workers' Compensation

If you have been injured in an automobile accident, or otherwise injured by the negligence of another, we can help you recover monetary damages for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other out-of-pocket expenses.

If you have been the victim of a work-related injury, you may be entitled to benefits through the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.  We can assist you in filing your claim, and seeking all benefits to which you are entitled.

In most cases, legal services will be provided on a contingent fee basis, meaning that you will not pay attorney fees (*) unless a recovery is made on your behalf.

* costs of case preparation and filing fees are the client's responsibility, regardless of the outcome of the case.

Family Law Services
Divorce/Dissolution/Custody/Juvenile/Paternity/Adoptions

Problems within the family are the most personal and emotional matters you will ever have to deal with.  We understand that your case is the most important thing in your life, and we will work closely with you to protect your rights to your children and your property.

If you are terminating your marriage, we can assist you in deciding on the quickest and most economical means to accomplish your goals.  If you and your spouse can agree on the terms, a dissolution can sometimes be a better alternative to a divorce, and can be accomplished at a fraction of the cost.

If you are seeking custody of your child, or trying to protect your own custody rights, we can help you in protecting your rights whether the other party is your child's parent or some other relative.  If you have become involved with Children's Services, we can also help to protect your rights and assist your efforts to return your children home where they belong.

We can also assist you in creating new parental rights, in establishing paternity or adopting a child.  If you have been wrongfully named in a paternity action, or are requested to pay child support, we can assist you in ensuring that your rights are protected with respect to any court orders that may be issued.

In most cases, services are provided on a flat-fee basis, meaning that you will be able to speak with your attorney when you need to prepare for your case, without worrying about hourly rates for phone calls.

Criminal Law Services
Criminal/Traffic/DUI

If you have been charged with a crime, or traffic violation, your freedom may be at stake.  Even if you are not facing prison or jail time, you may be looking at economic loss from fines and court costs, or the loss of your driving privileges should the court suspend your license.  We can help protect your rights, whether you are charged with a minor misdemeanor, a misdemeanor, or a felony.  We can also assist you in restoring your rights at the appropriate time, if you or your loved one desires an early/judicial release, restoration of driving privileges or a conviction expunged.

Probate Law Services
Probate/Wills/Estates

Preparing for the loss of a loved one, or even your own death, is not a pleasant experience.  But we can assist you in preparing wills to ensure that property ends up in the proper hands, according to your wishes, rather than distributed by default, according to state law.  We can also assist you in preparing durable powers of attorney and living wills to help protect your rights should you be unable to speak for yourself.
