Hiring Charlie Rittgers and his team to handle my case was the best decision I could’ve made. Facing couple felonies and being in court for the first time, having no prior, I was very scared and nervous but from the beginning he told me step-by-step of what was going to happen, what the possible outcomes would be and now at the end of my case and they’ve exceeded my expectations. His firm was very knowledgeable and highly educated in their field, also not to mention highly respected by all that knew them. Having said that, I would HIGHLY recommend Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima to anybody seeking an attorney because you’ll definitely receive the best representation and get your money’s worth. – Fahad

My family hired Charlie M. Rittgers for representation in a criminal defense matter. We knew absolutely nothing about this area and chose him after reading numerous reviews. Please allow me to add to the accolades of other clients. I found Mr. Rittgers to be entirely respectful, professional, knowledgeable, and competent. His manner inspires confidence and he projected to all involved, that he was fighting for our family member. He answered all of our questions and was accessible, returning correspondence promptly. Charlie M. Rittgers clearly has experience and everything about him speaks to care and concern for his clients. If you find yourself or someone you love, in a regrettable situation, are frightened and want quality representation, I would strongly recommend him. It is my opinion that my hard earned money was wisely spent. Thanks for everything Charlie, you are the best!!! – M

One year ago today we heard the words ” Not guilty on all counts “. Charlie Rittgers had defended my son against a false accusation. Charlie’s professionalism and confident courtroom presence was amazing. I can’t recommend Charlie Rittgers enough. Thank God for Charlie and my son’s freedom. – Arlan

In our first meeting with Charles, Sr. he listened, advised, and made us feel confident about the case. His experience and knowledge of OH law places him above the rest. Charlie was able to earn the best outcome in our case. We will be forever grateful for what he did for our daughter. You will make the right decision if you choose Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima . – David

I had a brother make a stupid decision, out of state, while on the way to a concert. I reviewed the options available in the Warren County, Ohio, area, selected Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima , and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Not only was Charlie Rittgers, a partner in the firm, available via e-mail and cell phone throughout the entire process, what were once felony charges were able to be dropped to misdemeanors. As an out of state customer, I felt that Mr. Rittgers did a great job representing my brother, who now does not have a felony record closing doors on a very bright future. I highly recommend Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima to anyone who needs legal services in Ohio.- Ryan
