A lawyer who has been at the scene

Terry W. Posey served 19 years as a Dayton Police officer and sergeant, in patrol, detective, and vice assignments, and earned the department's Medal of Valor. He has been at the scene of fatal crashes and has sat with families in the first hours after a loss. That experience shapes how he approaches every wrongful death case: find out exactly what happened, preserve the evidence before it disappears, and treat the family with patience and respect.

For more than 30 years since, Mr. Posey has practiced law in Ohio, representing injured people and families rather than insurance companies or corporations, in more than 1,000 cases. He is a graduate of Capital University Law School and is admitted to practice in Ohio's state and federal courts.

How we work with families

  • At your pace. Grief does not follow a legal calendar. We explain what has to happen and when, and we take care of the rest.
  • Honest answers. We tell you what the law allows and what it does not, in plain language.
  • A lawyer who knows your case. Your calls are returned and you are kept informed. Larger cases are often handled together with co-counsel, so your family has the full resources the case needs.
  • Help with probate. In Ohio a wrongful death claim is brought through the estate. We help families through those steps, too.
  • No fee unless we recover. The consultation is free, and there is no attorney fee unless we recover for your family.

Where we help

Our office is at 51 South Main Street in Centerville, serving Dayton and the Miami Valley, including Montgomery, Greene, Warren, Miami, Clark and Butler Counties. We help families throughout Ohio, and consultations can be in person, by phone, or by video.
