Common questions
How do I find a wrongful death lawyer in Ohio?
Advicey isn't open in Ohio yet. Ohio requires lawyer referral services to register with the Supreme Court of Ohio. You can join the waitlist on this page, or contact your state or local bar association's lawyer referral service.
How much does a wrongful death lawyer cost in Ohio?
Firms state the most they will charge as a percentage of any recovery (a contingency fee). If you recover nothing, you usually owe no fee; confirm this in your retainer. On Advicey, each bid shows that firm's maximum fee before you talk, so you can compare.
Do I pay Advicey anything?
No. Posting, comparing and picking are free, and Advicey takes nothing from any recovery. Law firms pay Advicey for advertising.
Is Advicey a law firm?
No. Advicey is an advertising marketplace, not a law firm or a lawyer referral service, and it doesn't give legal advice. A lawyer represents you only if you both sign a retainer.
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Ohio?
For many personal injury claims in Ohio, the usual deadline is 2 years (Ohio Rev. Code § 2305.10). Exceptions apply, for example for claims against the government or for children, so ask a lawyer about your own deadline. Checked October 2026.
