Mary Beth Caudill
The office of Mary Beth Caudill, Attorney at Law, is located in downtown Dayton, Ohio. For over 29 years, I have been providing legal counsel to individuals and families throughout Ohio, in Montgomery, Greene, Warren and Miami counties. My areas of practice include: family law, probate and estate administration, traffic law, and juvenile law.
I earned my law degree from the University of Dayton School of Law in 1983. I was admitted to the Ohio bar the same year. I am also a licensed lawyer in Pennsylvania and the United States Federal Courts. My active legal memberships include the Dayton Bar Association, Ohio State Bar Association and Greater Dayton Volunteer Lawyers Project. I am a member of the Dayton Society of Natural History, Archeology Institute of America and the Oregon District Business Association.
I work together with my clients to achieve the most successful client outcome. Regardless of the size of the case, I am committed to obtaining a just result for each of my clients. Most important, I provide personal service and professional legal representation to each of my clients.
If you need a family law attorney in the Dayton area to handle your family law, probate, estate administration, traffic law, or juvenile law issues, contact me to schedule a free initial consultation. I am happy to meet with you during the evening and weekend hours if you are unable to schedule your appointments during regular business hours.
