We are regular people working with regular folks.

We also happen to be lawyers.

If we had to guess, life has thrown you a curveball.

Maybe you need to settle your family’s estate. Or your mom has dementia and needs help navigating long-term care.

And now – for perhaps the first time – you’re thinking: I need a lawyer.

Ritter & Randolph is a Cincinnati law firm full of down-to-earth attorneys who show up, solve problems, and treat you like family when the problems of life interfere.

We understand life gets messy.

Here to hold your hand… figuratively and literally.

We hold your hand figuratively when you need an experienced attorney… and literally when you need a steady presence by your side.   

In good times and bad, you can count on us to show up and work with you as events unfold.

We’re real people who show up when you need:

been-there-done-that advice on the best care for aging parents
a clear head – and warm heart – to navigate end-of-life decisions
a tried-and-true expert in real estate law
trusted guidance for a corporate or nonprofit organization

Focus Areas

Since our start over fifty years ago, our firm has evolved to serve individuals and families in every stage of life.

Real Estate

Our real estate attorneys handle transactions for buyers, sellers, developers, and lenders, offering valuable strategic insight, drafting skills, and shepherding the transaction through closing.

Guardianships

A court appoints a guardian to manage the personal, financial, or medical affairs of a minor or incapacitated adult who is unable to do so themselves.

Estate and Trust Administration

If your loved one’s estate must go through probate, or if you are named as a trustee or trust beneficiary, our attorneys will guide you through the court and legal process.

Non-Profit

Our attorneys help you form your nonprofit, navigate legal requirements, and secure tax-exempt status to support your charitable mission.

Attorneys at Ritter & Randolph provide legal counsel for aging adults, individuals with special needs, and their caregivers. Our expertise addresses concerns related to healthcare, estate planning, public benefits, and housing.

Business

Our Cincinnati lawyers provide legal counsel to ensure the proper organization of your business. We help clients choose the best business structure, minimize personal and tax liability, and draft or review contacts and business agreements.

Estate Planning

Proper estate planning protects your assets and loved ones at any stage of life. Our attorneys help you avoid probate and prepare key documents like wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and transfer-on-death affidavits.

Not sure what part of the law applies to your concern?

For most folks, the idea of being friends with your lawyer is hard to imagine.

Truth is, we can’t imagine not being friends with our clients.

Our firm is built on a family-first foundation. That applies to everyone in our practice – and extends to our clients.

We treat you like family.

Working together on issues that require a lawyer is often a very personal experience.   

We respect your privacy, earn your trust, and value your humanity.

We solve problems.

When life gets messy, you need real help.

We’re not afraid to roll up our sleeves and do the hard work to find the best resolution for even the most complicated situations.

We show up.

We’ll meet you at the hospital, at your home, or at the office.

Wherever you need us, we do our best to be there.

We live by three rules: be honest, ask questions and answer the phone.

You’re just a conversation away from answers.

You deserve the peace of mind that comes from getting your questions answered by a real person – quickly and honestly. Here’s what you can expect when you reach out to the people at Ritter & Randolph:

Connection

Every day we get calls from people just like you who need advice.  

From our first contact, we promise to build a relationship – not execute a transaction.

Clarification

We know your situation may
be complicated.   

We’ll take time to ask questions, understand your concerns, and determine the best people and resources to help you in the most caring and efficient manner.

Collaboration

Together, we’ll move forward
with confidence.

We work closely with our clients, partners, and peers to deliver thoughtful legal solutions built on trust, transparency, and teamwork.
