You do not have to come in
A first conversation happens by phone, and most of a claim is handled by phone, post and email afterwards. If you are injured, without transport, or simply find travel difficult, that is common and it is not an obstacle.

Hurt in a crash, turned down for Social Security Disability, or fighting a workers' comp claim? Tell us what happened. The first conversation is free, it starts with a phone call rather than a trip downtown, and you will get a straight answer either way.

One phone call is enough to get started. You do not need documents, dates or a file in front of you, tell us what happened and we will tell you honestly whether there is something worth pursuing.
You never have to come into the office to get started. A first conversation happens by phone, and a great deal of a claim is handled by phone, post and email after that. If traveling is difficult for you, because of an injury, a disability, or simply not having a ride, say so. It is common, and it is not a problem.
Would rather write it down? Use the form, it reaches the same team.
This is the office that handles Cincinnati cases. It is a real office with a real team in it, but the work reaches you, not the other way round.
Most of the people who call this office are not looking for a lawyer. They are looking for someone to tell them what happens next. After a crash on the way to work, after a letter from Social Security that says no, after a claim their employer has decided to fight. That first conversation is usually less about law than about getting the ground back under you.
We take three kinds of case from Cincinnati and the towns around it: injuries from vehicle collisions, Social Security Disability claims, and Ohio workers’ compensation. They overlap more often than people expect. One bad afternoon can open a workers’ comp claim and an injury claim at the same time, and if the injury does not heal, a disability claim after that. Handling all three under one roof means nobody has to explain the same accident to three different firms.
If you were hurt in a vehicle collision or at work, being local matters. Your treatment, your records, your employer and, if it comes to it. The venue where the claim is heard are all here. That is the work this office is built around.
If your case is Social Security Disability, you do not have to be anywhere near Cincinnati. SSDI is a federal program. We represent claimants across Ohio, and a great deal of a disability case is documents, deadlines and a hearing that is now very often held by phone or video. Where you live is rarely the thing that decides it.
If your town is not on that list, it is still worth asking. We would rather tell you honestly that a case is not ours, and point you at someone whose it is, than leave you working it out on your own while a deadline runs.
Nothing about the first call is a commitment. You describe what happened, we ask the questions that decide whether there is a claim, and you get a straight answer about where you stand, including if the answer is that you do not need us.
If there is a case, we take the paperwork from there. Records, forms, deadlines, the calls from the adjuster: that becomes our job, not yours. The point of hiring a firm when you are hurt is that you stop being the one chasing it.
These three pages explain the work itself: what a claim involves, what it costs, and which deadlines are absolute. This page is about starting one from Cincinnati. Each links straight through.
Two claims with identical facts can go very differently depending on where they are heard and who hears them. That is not cynicism about the system. It is how any system with people in it works. Hearing offices have their own rhythms. Some venues move quickly and some do not. Filing conventions vary. Knowing those things in advance does not change the law, but it changes how a case is prepared and what a client can realistically be told about timing.
Claims in Cincinnati are heard and administered locally, so the venue matters: who decides what, where the paperwork goes, and how long each step tends to take in Hamilton County. That is the practical value of a firm that works here rather than one that files from three hours away.
What we will not do is tell you we know something we have not verified. The offices below are checkable facts about real institutions, confirmed by the firm rather than written from memory. Where something has not been confirmed it is left out rather than guessed at.
Social Security hearings for this area are held by the Cincinnati Office of Hearings Operations, in the John W. Peck Federal Building at 550 Main Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. Its telephone number is 877-405-7672 and its fax is 833-619-0569.
Workers compensation appeals for this area are heard by the Industrial Commission of Ohio at 125 E Court St, Unit 600, Cincinnati, OH 45202, telephone 513-357-9750.
Ohio generally allows two years from the date a personal injury claim arises to bring it (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10), and two years from the date of death in a wrongful death claim (§ 2125.02). Knowing the local venue does not extend either. General information about Ohio law rather than advice on your own facts.
Three things worth knowing before you decide whether to get in touch.
A first conversation happens by phone, and most of a claim is handled by phone, post and email afterwards. If you are injured, without transport, or simply find travel difficult, that is common and it is not an obstacle.
Our work is handled on a contingency fee. It is paid out of what is recovered, and if there is no recovery there is no fee: no hourly bills, and no retainer to get started.
Your case is handled by an attorney rather than passed down a line of case handlers you never speak to. If you need an update, you can ask the person doing the work.
Six things that are true about this firm, all of which you can check.
The Casper name has practiced law in Southwest Ohio for more than ninety years. That is not a slogan about quality. It is the reason the firm knows how these claims are handled here rather than in theory.

Lawyers who do not handle this work send their clients here. It is the referral we are most careful about, because it is made by people who know exactly what they are recommending.
No charge for the consultation, no retainer, and no hourly bills. The fee comes out of what is recovered, and if there is no recovery there is no fee.
We work across Southwest Ohio from four offices, and this page is about the Cincinnati one. It is a real office with a real team, and you never have to come into it to get started.
If a claim claim is not worth pursuing, or is not ours to take, we will tell you that and point you somewhere better. That is worth more to you than being signed up.
I highly recommend for anyone dealing with the disability process to contact Casper, Casper & Casper. Steve Casper along with Ben Hite were VERY helpful in the entire process. If I a had any questions or concerns; they had the answers and reassured me everything would be okay. They worked diligently on my case for months and I was FINALLY approved. This team of attorneys WILL help fight for you as they have for me.
I had been denied two times for social security after life changing damages to my back, ankle and knee, had paid into social security all my life and I'm 60 years old now. Steven Casper was compassionate and thorough and walked me through the process without any money to pay him he was able to get my social security approved and every dime of back pay for those two years I had waited and has assured me that if anything comes up he's there for me.
From the first day I spoke with Mr Steve Casper he was certain we would win my case. He gave me all the confidence that I needed. It's been a long journey but well worth it. We made it and with a win!! Mr Steve Casper is amazing. Ben his assistant is very nice and very knowledgeable too.
I can't thank Casper, Casper and Casper enough for what they did for me. From start to finish it took less than a year for them to help me get disability benefits. They did almost all of the groundwork and made it as painless for me as possible. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Casper, Casper & Casper were all very professional when I had to speak with them and they made me feel just as important as everyone else's case. They helped me tremendously in a reasonable amount of time. I also was impressed how they get right to the point, no beating around the bush, I appreciate that.
They were very excellent and very quick with my case because I'm not very good at filling out paperwork they did it all for me. It was easy for me and it didn't take very long and they had my case settled I appreciate everything they have done and I will be referring them to other people.
General information, not legal advice. Every case turns on its own facts. The only way to know where yours stands is to have someone look at it.
No, and certainly not to begin. A first conversation happens by phone, and a great deal of a claim is handled by phone, post and email after that. If you are injured, without transport, or simply find travel difficult, say so. That is common and it is not an obstacle. The office is here and it is real; you just do not have to sit in it to get started.
Nothing. The consultation is free and carries no obligation, and plenty of people call simply to find out whether they have something worth pursuing. If we take the case it is handled on a contingency fee, so it is paid out of what is recovered rather than out of your pocket, no hourly bills and no retainer to get started.
No. SSDI is a federal program and we represent claimants across Ohio. Much of a disability case is documents, medical evidence and deadlines, and hearings are now very often held by phone or video. Where you live is rarely what decides it. A vehicle or work-injury claim is different: those are tied to where the injury happened and where the case would be heard, so being local does matter there.
We work across Southwest Ohio from four offices, and this one handles Cincinnati and Hamilton County. If your town is not listed, it is still worth asking.
Yes, and it happens often. A single incident can open a workers’ compensation claim and an injury claim together, and a disability claim later if the injury does not resolve. Describe the whole thing on the first call rather than trying to sort it into categories yourself, working out which claims exist is our job, not yours.
Sooner is genuinely better, for two reasons. Evidence goes stale: vehicles get repaired, scenes change, witnesses become harder to find. And every one of these claims has a deadline that does not bend.
Tell us what happened and we will take it from there. No cost, no obligation, and no fee unless we win.
Free consultation, no fee unless we win.
