Which courtroom

Garfield Heights Municipal Court covers Garfield Heights, Brecksville, Independence, Maple Heights, Cuyahoga Heights, Newburgh Heights, Valley View, Walton Hills, and Metro Parks cases in that district. Mayor’s courts in those towns can transfer here. The citation names the courtroom. The office is in Brecksville.

What this practice handles

  • Personal injury
  • OVI
  • Criminal defense
  • Traffic tickets
  • Estate planning and probate

Personal injury work starts with the facts of the wreck or the fall, the insurance file, and the medical course. OVI is a criminal charge and often a separate fight over the license. Those two tracks do not wait for each other. Criminal and traffic files are read, not pleaded on the first setting because the first setting is convenient. Estate and probate work is instructions, then what happens when the instructions are missing.

How a file from this court is run

There is no assembly line and no advertised verdict list. Attorney Robert G. Stiefvater reviews the charge, the stop or the crash, and whether this office can take the matter before it is accepted. Some callers are declined. That is how the work stays accurate.

Guarantees are not part of this practice.

If the same incident is a crash and an OVI, say both on the call. That is two problems.
