This firm was top notch from A to Z. Professional, prompt and experienced delivering on desired outcomes before, during and after the proceedings, e.g. motion to suppress, OVI reduction and impeccable communication skills with Charlie and his staff. Highly recommend. – Ken

I got the best representation in case of OVI. My case was resolved in a day, and I received my driving letter the following day. Further the sentencing was reduced to the bare minimum, and two alleged charges were waived off. Being my first run-in with law (at age 29), I was nervous and scared even after the sentencing was handed. So, my attorney stayed with me at the courthouse even after the case was resolved and helped me complete the paperwork. That really meant a lot. – Bibek

Mr. Charles M. Rittgers has provided me excellent representation in Mason Municipal Court. He has successfully protected me during the probation process in which I’ve not been perfect. Because of Mr. Rittgers, Mason Municipal Court has extended me enough patience to effectively renounce alcohol from my life, which was the source of my legal issue. Now after much time has passed, alcohol free, I am now rebuilding my reputation and standing within the community I love. Recovery from addiction is often times a rocky road and I’d like to thank the Rittgers Firm for protecting my freedoms to recover on the outside of a jail cell. – Asher
