Gertner & Gertner

Description

In addition to trying many Social Security cases, we continue to try cases representing those who have been harmed by the system or by trusted relatives, as was the situation in a recent case. Here are some examples of recent cases our firm has tried. Rauh v. Rauh, et al. In 2000, the estate of our client's deceased father received two promissory notes in exchange for his 30 percent interest in a family business partnership, of which our client was the successor-in-interest. These notes were included in both the accounting of our client's father's estate and in his guardianship accounting. The value of these notes fluctuated, indicating that an active accounting was maintained on them. However, after our client had reached the age of the majority, he realized that he never received any payments from these notes, as its assignee. When he inquired about these notes, the attorney for the estate and the guardianship claimed that the notes actually had no value, due to an alleged indebtedness that the partnership owed on a mortgage. Confused and skeptical, our client came to us looking for answers.

In this country, we are presumed innocent until proven guilty — the presumption of innocence. In order to ensure this presumption, the United States and Ohio Constitutions guarantee a person's right to remain silent and the right to defense counsel in a criminal trial and interrogation. Everyone in this country is entitled to a competent defense and to be tried by a jury of his or her peers. Having a criminal defense attorney ensures that the prosecution must prove each and every element of the charged criminal offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, anyone charged with, accused of or possibly accused of a crime in the future, must contact a competent criminal defense attorney immediately. Mike Gertner is a former federal prosecutor and can help you protect your rights and freedom as guaranteed by the constitution. If you need a defense attorney who is dedicated to your case and protecting your rights, contact the Law Office of Mike Gertner today. Do Not Speak To Police Until You Have An Attorney Present If you've been accused of a crime, do not communicate or make any written or oral statements to anyone until you first call a criminal defense attorney.
