Five Star Google Reviews

Amy Petrucci-Effinte: Attorney Melfi, Margo, Kim, and Ken were exceptional. They handled our case with diligence, care, and professionalism. They were outstanding when we were hit and injured by an uninsured driver. We highly recommend Betras Kopp.
Rohn Harner: I contacted Betras Kopp after getting a recommendation from a Florida attorney. I needed an Ohio attorney. I was contacted by Jim Melfi. He immediately understood what I needed and worked on getting a settlement from a real estate firm. After only a few weeks an agreement was worked out and I have received a payment! I had waited several years for this and Jim Melfi obtained a final agreement very quickly. He was responsive to every one of my text and emails. I am totally impressive with Mr. Melfi and the Betras Kopp firm. Five star.
Tina Schell: This attorney has really stepped up and is helping my grandson Xavier Hile, thank you.
Tricia Morgan: I could not recommend James Melli, Daniel Leslie and the rest of the wonderful staff at Betras Kopp more. The team was compassionate, professional and confident. Their care and grit was the comfort I didn’t realize I was missing during this unfortunate process. This law firm handled my case with grace and class, saving me thousands in legal bills and sparing unnecessary points on my drivers license. I cannot thank this team enough for what they provided me and my family over the months and weeks of the ongoing case. I would highly recommend this law firm.
Allyson Fonseca: Betras is The best attorney in northeast Ohio! His office went above and beyond to get my case dismissed. Julie his paralegal was amazing her communication and all around knowledge made my nerves at ease going through such a tough situation. Thank you so much to Betras and the whole team you guys are amazing!
Joseph Nohra: Where do I start? This firm gave me my life back. Attacked by the media and let down by many others who tossed me and my family aside, David, Brian, their attorneys, investigator, Kim, Julie, other staff, etc, etc, etc never left my side. On my lowest days, David and Brian double teamed on every facet of my case. They were honest and completely committed. They helped my spouse and children to cope with this aggressive case against me. All angles were addressed and they dropped everything to get me to the finish line. When I look back at this, I thank god that good friends – two very close true friends and brothers connected me to them. Watching them work was incredible. I could write for an hour about this firm. Not enough stars to rate them!
Kalie Saadeh: I was represented by Frank Cassese for my legal matters. My experience with him as an attorney couldn’t have been better! Frank was always professional and got back to me the same day with any questions or issues I had. I was so grateful to have an attorney who was transparent and very informative during the whole process. Besides Frank always being professional, he also was empathetic and very dedicated to my needs, despite his schedule. I truly felt how much he cared about the outcome. I would confidently recommend him to anyone!!
Shanley Slike: Brian and David are the BEST at what they do. They do not disappoint or let you down. The other associates who work with them are top notch and you really know that all of them have your back and will fight and find justice for you. I can’t say enough about Brian’, David and all the team. You can’t go wrong and won’t be disappointed in your decision.
Mary McGivern: I was recently represented by Betras / Kopp. They are knowledgeable and professional as well as their entire team. I highly recommend their legal services.
Derek Shingler: I was represented by attorney James Melfi for my legal matters the experience couldn’t have been better and gone better, James was always there for my questions when I needed answers fought every step of the way for me and got my cases dropped quick and was always professional 5 out of 5 stars.
Loti Yoti: I was falsely accused of an attempted murder charge that I did not commit and Frank handled my case and made sure the truth and justice was served. I am a free man ! I would absolutely recommend Frank C. In his team they’re great.
Kevin Haase: I was represented by James Melfi – I highly recommend Attorney Melfi, very professional, incredible communication, and helped me through a very difficult situation.
Abigail Haffner: David Betras represented me and did an amazing job. I was very impressed with his diligence and attention to detail. Both he and his staff really listened to my concerns, worked extremely hard on my behalf, and the results were telling. They were able to work on a tight deadline and yet made the process seem effortless. In court, Mr. Betras was confident, aggressive, and got the job done – and the decision went in my favor. I cannot be more thankful to have my life back and will be forever grateful.
Juan Gomez Maldonado: Attorney Cassese. Worth every dime. This lawfirm has the best in both areas where I live Ohio and Florida . I’m always covered.
Jose Estremera: By far the best in the area! This firm goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. Down to every lawyer to the great receptionist they have on staff. Point blank period no need to look elsewhere for a firm who cares and gives you the results you deserve!
