RIEHL LAW LLC
Advocating for the rights of injured people throughout Ohio since 1981
Columbus personal injury law firm Riehl Law LLC was established in 1981 by dedicated Ohio trial lawyers. We primarily represent plaintiffs in personal injury cases and defend individuals against prosecution in the criminal justice system. We can help you with cases involving:
- Personal injury
- Wrongful death
- Commercial truck accidents
- Passenger injuries
- Severe injuries
- Burn injuries, explosions and fires
- Injuries resulting in coma
- Workplace injuries
- OSHA investigations
- Insurance disputes
- Dog bites and animal attacks
- Malpractice
- Medical Negligence
- Criminal Defense
- Ohio Lemon Law
Our attorneys strategically negotiate just settlements if in your best interest to do so. If opposing parties refuse to negotiate a fair agreement, our aggressive litigators fight for a rightful verdict at trial.
We make home and hospital visits
If your injury prevents you from traveling to our Columbus office, our attorneys will visit you in your home or hospital. We minimize the stress of filing a lawsuit so you can concentrate on your health.
Learn about our contingency arrangements
Riehl Law LLC handles your case on contingency -- meaning you do not pay our attorney fees until we have won a verdict or reached a settlement. We clearly explain the contingency fee arrangement during your no-obligation, free initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect from our billing process.
