Durst Kerridge

It is generally agreed upon that lawsuits are nightmares. Our situation was no different. Yet going through this journey with Alex and Paul actually made me grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside them. These two gentlemen are among the most intelligent, honest, and genuinely good human beings I have ever encountered. If you need a lawyer to go to bat for you, these are your guys. And if you need a lawyer to win for you, let’s just say the odds may seem like one out of a million, but the Durst Kerridge team will find a way to make it happen!

Contractual disputes are a normal part of doing business, and over the years I’ve worked with many attorneys at different levels. Alex stands out as one of the best. He helped me deal with a highly aggressive company known for using predatory tactics that, while technically legal, can still trap people in unfair situations. One of Alex’s smartest moves was advising to transfer the case from state to federal court, which completely changed the dynamic and gave us leverage and fairness we wouldn’t have had otherwise. His legal knowledge, strategic thinking, and ability to see several steps ahead make him exceptional. Highly recommend.

The team at Durst | Kerridge were fantastic. They quickly sized up the situation, diligently (and efficiently) worked through a myriad of documents, and successfully helped me avoid perilous legal sand traps. I recommend them highly!

Durst Kerridge represented me in an Ohio Supreme Court appeal. Paul Kerridge did an amazing job with the argument. He was brilliant! To know we are in such capable hands makes the road we are traveling on that much easier. To have the best possible legal representation for our family is a true blessing. We’re very grateful to have Alex and Paul on our side. Thank you

Alex Durst helped our company with a business litigation matter. He set our mind at ease, took the time to listen and walk us through the process. He was incredibly thorough and honorable in ensuring a positive outcome! I'm so glad I worked with Durst Kerridge!

I had the pleasure of working with Alex and his team on two different business matters, both of which were successfully resolved in my favor. They were thorough, confident, and communicated effectively every step of the way, which made it easy to trust them with my cases. Alex provided sound professional advice without being pushy and respected my decisions while crafting a solid game plan. The team was easy to work with, yet firm and aggressive when needed. I highly recommend them for any legal representation!

Alex is a great attorney; he came to my office, listened attentively, and ultimately won my case completely. He secured an outcome that was even better than what I would have expected. Alex is a rockstar of the legal profession!

As the owner of multiple restaurants, I was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional support and knowledge Durst Kerridge provided in employment law matters. Lawyers from the firm visited each restaurant and really got to know the business, which ended up being very useful. In the end, they helped me avoid litigation altogether.

My experience was highly satisfactory. Very professional and efficient. Highly recommended.

Tenacious and Aggressive Business Litigator My international travel business was abruptly forced to shut down in the wake of COVID-19, ultimately causing the business to go into bankruptcy. As I was planning the path forward for the company, we were brought into a slew of lawsuits domestically and internationally, including a lawsuit brought in Ohio federal court seeking over $10M in damages against me personally. My American legal team helped me choose Alex Durst over a number of larger law firms based upon his sophistication with the industry/business transactions involved (payment processing), and his reputation for results. I could not be more pleased with the results. Alex got the case dismissed in its entirety, and successfully represented me on appeal in the Sixth Circuit to a favorable resolution. Alex provided wise and strategic counsel, and I would not hesitate to use him again.

Outstanding “A” Team Defense Representation Alex Durst was strongly recommended to me as an aggressive and skillful civil attorney when I needed legal representation to defend a lawsuit. To say he’s the best is an understatement. He went above and beyond my expectations, and was able to put together evidence through depositions and discovery that turned what could have been a devastating financial loss into a very minor inconvenience. Based upon his effective dismantling of the opposition’s case, we were able to avoid the immense cost and stress of trial. I am grateful for his hard work and insight that he and his team utilized to fight and win my case. I am now relaxed and planning a great vacation, thanks to Alex and his team.

Best lawyers in town.

Alex is an amazing attorney. He also responds very quickly and keeps you updated on your case. I’m referring him to all my friends and family.

The absolute best law firm! I hired Alex Durst to represent me in a truck accident case that was very serious and traumatic. Everyone at the firm was super professional and responsive at all times. Especially Alex, who was great at keeping me informed and quickly addressed all my concerns whenever I was worried about something. The truck company fought the case hard and tried to blame ME for the accident. My lawyers were not going to let that happen. They used private investigators to track down a key witness who was right behind me before the truck hit me who saw everything. Then they got bodycam videos from the police and a recorded 911 call from the truck driver that proved the truck driver was not telling the truth. In the end, I got a GREAT settlement. It’s a huge relief to be able to move on from this terrible experience knowing justice was done. I’m so grateful to Alex for his help and having his firm on my side during this process. Highly recommend!!!

I've used the Durst law firm on a couple accounts they were very professional and very responsive I would highly recommend!!

After a family member got utterly swindled and price gouged on in-home HVAC services, I contacted Alex’s office for legal counsel about what could and should be done about these scam artists. I couldn’t be more impressed with Alex’s knowledge and professionalism about the situation, and his help overall in assuaging the situation legally. Alex was there every step of the way. If you are in need of top-notch legal advice from someone who will fight for you, I sincerely recommend calling The Durst Law Firm and asking for Alex. I would also advise anyone who is looking for HVAC services to not accept the first offer you get, and always get a second opinion. There are some good companies in the area, but unfortunately, some of the most unethical around. Thanks, Alex.

Knowledgeable, compassionate and a force to be reckoned with!

Alex and his staff are knowledgeable and responsive. Alex was able to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company and their counsel that was more than 20 times what they had offered my wife and I prior to Alex's representation! Alex has mastered the artful balance of being a bulldog for his clients while still maintaining the respect of opposing counsel and court personnel. If you are looking for representation that is honest, ethical, compassionate, and committed to the best outcome for your well-being...then look no further...Durst Law Firm will pursue your case with vigor and integrity. - 25 year insurance claims professional and "raving fan" client of Durst Law Firm.

I can't begin to explain everything that Alex and Isaac has done for me. They're truly amazing people before they're attorney's and it shows in everything they do. My life has forever been changed, just by knowing and working with them. I wouldn't recommend anyone else to anyone I know. They work from the heart with compassion, dignity, and integrity, every step of the way. They are far beyond just professional and I will forever be grateful, for their constant hard work and determination, to do what's right, first. 5 stars and thank you, just isn't enough!
