Administering an estate through probate can be a difficult and complicated process, which is especially challenging for families grieving the loss of a family member or loved one. Cassidy always takes extra measures to regularly update her clients, answer their questions, manage expectations, and provide clarity on the process involved in probating an estate.
Cassidy truly enjoys getting to know each client, their families, and learning about the loved ones who have passed. She ensures that the estate will be administered pursuant to their last wishes or if none, in accordance with Ohio law, in order to honor the decedent and their family in the best way possible.

“One of the Family”
Cassidy has been a part of the Wolterman Law Office team since 2015. She started as a secretary and then became a legal assistant before entering law school in 2019. While she was an undergrad majoring in health sciences at the University of Cincinnati, Cassidy started to consider a legal career. Wanting to learn more about law school and the profession, she arranged to interview attorney Steve Wolterman for a first-hand account and recommendation. As it happened, he was searching for an office assistant and suggested that she could learn a lot more by getting involved rather than interviewing him. Needless to say, she went to interview Steve and left with a job instead! The whole team has helped and supported Cassidy every step of the way and still does today!
The knowledge Cassidy has acquired through her health sciences degree has been invaluable when handling personal injury cases. Personal injury cases require a detailed review of medical records, which makes it imperative to be able to comprehend and interpret medical terminology as Cassidy can. Cassidy’s knowledge has been invaluable in reviewing cases and crafting arguments relating the injuries and events.
