Brand Promise

Expect More. Get More.

At McCarthy, Lebit, Crystal & Liffman, our goals are to provide you more peace of mind and more time to focus on the things that matter most – your family, your business, and your personal well-being.

Structured to make your life easier while earning your trust over time.

Life can be complicated. That’s why we are structured to provide you more convenience and peace of mind with preeminent business, personal matter, and trial attorneys all under one roof. We are one of the few U.S. law firms that successfully provides both transactional and litigation services to our business clientele, and personal services to families and individuals. Unique in today’s world, our trial attorneys are all in-firm and have successfully tried hundreds of cases in Ohio and across the country.

Expertise for the most sensitive and personal matters affecting lives.

We recognize that a decline in health, the loss of a job, the end of a marriage, or a dispute with the State or Federal Government are deeply personal and can be life changing. Every practice area leader in this group has been peer selected to Best Lawyers®, Super Lawyers® or both. This esteemed group of advisors also includes trust and estate planning attorneys that are Board Certified Tax Specialists – a designation held by fewer than 20 attorneys in the State of Ohio.

Our Guiding Principles

As part of McCarthy Lebit’s ongoing strategic plan, the leadership of the firm has articulated our firm mission statement and identified our core values. The following principles consistently guide the firm’s lawyers and staff in the successful pursuit of clients’ interests and the advancement of the firm.

Mission Statement

McCarthy Lebit is a premier, full-service law firm offering a wide range of sophisticated legal services, backed by market-leading talent, ensuring a client experience that is efficient in execution and attentive to client needs and best interests. Success for our clients is achieved through skilled and tenacious advocacy, personal attention, and thoughtful, informed advice. We are a collegial and inclusive firm where delivering client value is a core principle that differentiates our service in the marketplace.

Core Values

Just being “really smart” is not enough. At McCarthy Lebit, we recruit, train, and retain talent that not only meets our high expectations for skill but also embodies the tenacity and persistence that our clients deserve.

All clients deserve a lawyer who is honest, reliable, and trustworthy. At McCarthy Lebit, these are not just idle words; they are at the core of what we do and how we practice.

Simply winning the case or closing the deal is not enough – we add value to every client engagement through a delivery of service that is efficient, transparent, and with open communication that not only meets, but exceeds, our clients’ expectations.

It is not enough to merely answer the phone when a client calls. At McCarthy Lebit, we view our role as a “partner” to our clients, proactively identifying opportunities and solutions that alleviate burdens for our clients and give them time to focus on what really matters to them.
