“I am very pleased to have won my case.” – Teresa W.

Numbers don’t lie. Since Nilges Draher LLC was founded in 2014, our employment law attorneys have recovered more than $50 million (and counting) for workers in Ohio and across the country. $50 million – that’s a big number. And that number means a lot to us. That number helped our clients pay their bills. That number gave them a fresh start. That number changed people’s lives.
