Friedman & Rummell Co LPA

My father unexpectedly passed away in 2020 from COVID without a will. An attorney for them – Dan Babyak – said he could resolve it in about 6 months. FOUR YEARS LATER (of that guy giving us his number, then telling us not to use it after ghosting us for months, just up and leaving without notice, and getting the subsequent run around from several attorneys and/or paralegals after), it’s just now… in 2024… reaching a conclusion. How did that happen, you ask? Not THIS firm, that’s for sure. We ended up contacting another firm to take over, which caused Friedman and Rummel to rush to wrap it up. Maybe the entire firm isn’t incompetent, but if Dan Babyak was able to keep employment there for any matter of time, I’ve got to question the judgement of the entire operation. If you’re considering this firm, skip to what we did after FOUR YEARS, and find another firm. I recommend Silas Pisani from Slater and Zurz in Akron. I can’t in good conscience recommend Friedman & Rummel, or DAN BABYAK, wherever that clown is these days for legal matters. Based on my family’s experience, I doubt they have the legal competence to recount an episode of Law & Order accurately, let alone settle your legal matters in a timely fashion. Hindsight is 20/20, but learn from our mistakes and RUN in advance. EDIT: I now see that we were not the only people with these issues, and years apart, no less. Seriously, check out Slater & Zurz and avoid the hassles that seemingly come with F&R.
