Cross Law Office, LLC

Our lawyers and staff have been super busy this summer! Lots of contested hearings already, a massive uptick in divorce and custody work, and several motion hearings and bench trials.

This would not be possible without the help and support of our admin staff who take care of a ton of work behind the scenes so that we can keep bringing in new business and helping those in need of legal services across east central Ohio, southeast Ohio, and West Virginia.

We also welcomed two interns for the summer: Rylie Hess who is a law student at WVU Law, and Taylor Gossett who is in undergrad at Marietta College. They are getting a ton of experience in the office and traveling to court with our attorneys to see as many aspects of the practice of law as possible ⚖️

We're still on the hunt for additional attorneys to join our firm!

We mostly operate in Ohio. But one of our partners, Brett Lenarz, is also admitted to practice in WV state courts and the Southern District of Ohio federal court.

Aside from growing what we have in Ohio, we also want to keep expanding our footprint into West Virginia over time too. This would be a great opportunity for an attorney admitted to practice in Ohio or WV to hop onboard!

⚖️ Personal Injury result announcement! ⚖️

Lead Counsel: Ethan Vessels, The Referred Attorney at Fields Dehmlow & Vessels LLC

Our office co-counseled an auto accident case which ended with a multi-six figure settlement in favor of our client a few months ago. After numerous attempts to settle prior to commencing a formal lawsuit became unfruitful, this settlement was reached shortly after the filing of a Complaint by Attorney Ethan Vessels, just prior to the taking of depositions.

We frequently work with Attorney Vessels on personal injury cases. He and his staff do an outstanding job achieving proper, just results for our joint clients in timely manners. This was an example of one of many personal injury case results achieved in that timeframe with the leadership and guidance of Attorney Vessels.

Past results are not automatically indicative of future outcomes for other clients, as every case must be independently evaluated and determined based on its facts.

Whether it is an auto accident, slip and fall, medical malpractice, wrongful death, workplace accident, or anything related, our firm will team up with an experienced and dedicated lawyer in that area of practice to ensure that the best outcome is not only possible, but highly achievable.

We remain dedicated to ensuring our clients in both Ohio and West Virginia who suffer significant injury or loss are represented skillfully and competently through the assistance of co-counsel like Attorney Ethan Vessels leading the way.
