Our Story

Four Decades of Dedicated Advocacy

Founded in 1981, Riehl Law LLC has built a reputation throughout Columbus and Central Ohio as fierce advocates for injured people and individuals facing criminal charges.

Located at 772 South Front Street in Columbus, we focus on personal injury plaintiff representation and criminal defense — two practice areas that demand unwavering commitment to our clients’ rights.

Our approach is simple: we strategically negotiate just settlements when it serves your best interest, but our aggressive litigators are always prepared to fight for a rightful verdict at trial when insurance companies or opposing parties refuse to offer fair compensation.

Our Commitment

How We Serve Our Clients

  • Client-Centered Service

    We offer home and hospital visits for injured clients unable to travel. You'll always talk directly with an attorney — fast, friendly answers when you need them most.

  • No Fee Unless We Win

    Contingency fee arrangements mean you pay nothing until we secure a verdict or settlement. Free initial consultation. No risk, no obligation.

  • Trial-Ready Advocates

    Unlike firms that settle every case, we prepare every claim for trial. Insurance companies know we mean business — and that gets results.

Lead Attorney

Attorney Shawn Riehl provides assertive, effective representation of clients who have been injured because of the negligence of other persons or corporations.

He prudently advises his clients when settlement can result in a higher damages award — and when trial is in their best interests. His “no stone unturned” attention to detail results in settlements that fairly compensate the injured party.

In addition to personal injury representation, Shawn represents those charged with traffic or criminal charges, and is one of Ohio’s leading Lemon Law attorneys, helping clients navigate claims against automobile manufacturers.
