What this office handles

Five practice areas. Case-by-case acceptance.

Personal Injury

A personal injury claim is a documentation problem disguised as a medical problem. You treat. The insurer pays as little as the file will bear. This office builds a record that cannot be shrugged off.

OVI / DUI

Ohio calls it OVI. Most people still say DUI. It is a criminal charge and, often, a separate fight over the license. Those two tracks do not wait for each other.

Criminal Defense

A criminal charge is a state problem that becomes a life problem. This is not a volume plea desk. The label on the ticket is the beginning of the analysis, not the end.

Traffic Tickets

Points, insurance, commercial licenses, and prior records decide whether paying the citation is cheaper than fighting it. The code section on the paper controls. Bring the ticket.

Estate Planning and Probate

Everyone should have basic documents. Many people need more than that. A clean plan usually reduces the cost and burden of probate.

See all five areas on the Practice Areas page.

How the practice is run

Robert G. Stiefvater has been licensed in Ohio since 2003 and founded Stiefvater Law, LLC in 2009 to represent individuals, not volume.

Early career time on the prosecution side of Ohio practice is useful for one reason only: it shows how a file is built to be pleaded. Defense work is the opposite exercise. What must the State prove, and what is missing?

Injury work is the same idea in a different file: liability, coverage, and the medical treatment are reviewed before the matter is accepted.

Some callers will be declined. That is the cost of doing the work correctly. Guarantees are not part of this practice.

About the office

Brecksville office. Northeast Ohio work.

People call from Brecksville, Broadview Heights, North Royalton, Independence, Strongsville, and nearby communities. The office is in Brecksville. Cases are handled in Cuyahoga County, throughout Northeast Ohio, and across the state.

The office location does not change because the stop, the crash, the arrest, or the probate filing happened on a different road.

If two problems arrived together

Say both on the call.

A crash plus an OVI is two files. An arrest plus a license issue is two files. A death plus real estate and unpaid bills is a probate problem, not a single form.

What to do first

Injury: Get treatment. Photograph the scene and visible injuries. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before you understand what they want.

OVI / criminal / traffic: Read the papers. Note every date. Do not talk about the facts on social media or in group chats. Do not contact an alleged victim to “clear it up.” Bring the citation to the first conversation.

Estate planning / probate: Bring a plain list of what you own and who you want to protect. Do not wait until a hospital bed or a funeral home forces the issue.

Then call (216) 867-0429.
