Our Story

Tina Barrett and Ellen Keller met at University of Cincinnati's College of Law. They graduated in the same year and started working at the same law firm together. They started their own law firm in 2007 and continue to feel incredibly lucky to be practicing law in Cincinnati. Whitney joined us in 2021 to manage and expand our probate process. She is a great asset to the firm!

J. Ellen Keller was wonderful to work with on our Estate Planning.  Thoughtful discussions, meaningful guidance on all of the various considerations and appropriate documents.  Professional, courteous and caring; everything you would want from someone helping you with this process.  My wife and I are very pleased to have been given Ellen's name as a reference.

"Tina Barrett was highly recommended by a friend that was aware of my desire to divorce my husband. Tina was able to put me at ease and help me through this difficult time. She helped me when I was scared and She always seem to be one step ahead. She was fair and never second guessed herself to help me see both sides and do what it is right. I would have never been able to go through this time if it wasn’t for her."
