Franklin County Guardian ad Litem Reviews 2026 - Columbus, Ohio

Only getting one star because I have to click one to get a review. Basically the report that he turned in was a lie. He had never observed the kids and their mother interaction at their residence ever. He was supposed to come to our residence as well and never did. He said the kids wanted to live with their dad. That statement came from the very beginning where their father who had brainwashed them and showered them with new electronic gifts. Ie. Laptops note pads cell phones. So the report from the very get go was the only thing ever considered. No one was Interviewed no one was able to give any testimony. No one was ever able to present any evidence of the interaction between parent and children. And what kind of lawyer doesn't carry a business card? I mean, really you deal with children's lives and dont have a business card??? Real professional... I am forwarding MY report of this debacle to the States Attorney general's office ,and the Ohio Bar Association of which a formal complaint will be made

He does not make any effort at all to get to know you as a person or witness you around your kids. He will not call your references either. None of them. It is more political and aims towards the mothers side. This is true specially if you went to Iraq. He is not a fan of the military. He will convince the other parent to move the kids out of state. Then Bill you made items and threaten to put you in jail.

Very disappointed with this Attorney!!! Terrible at follow up never returning calls and very little research done on my daughter’s custody case! A big waste of money! Research further and don’t use him!!!!!!!!

Ralph never checked details in the homes and He didn't care. He had already made his mind up from day one. I'm pretty sure hes in it for the money only. If you hire him it will be a big mistake. my grandsons continue to ask me why he didn't listen to them and why he lied about what my grandsons wanted. They are in a two bedroom condo with 3 animals and 7 people. When my grandson asked his father why he couldn't live with his mother his father told him because it's a waste of money.

Involved in our custody case as Guardian ad Litem. Horrible, biased, no attention to details nor did he have any good professionalism to do the job. I would never hire this man, he was assigned to our case

Ralph will lie right to your face. Please read the other reviews about this terrible man before you hire him. He will take your money and do nothing.
