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.

Cincinnati Law Firm - 2 lawyers walking side by side.

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.

Elder & Long-Term Care

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.
