Whetstone Legal, LLC provides The Roof Lawyer™ legal services for the restoration industry, and is primarily focused on insurance law to help policy holders all over Ohio. While Steve is known as Ohio’s Roof Lawyer within the insurance restoration industry, the firm also handles a broad spectrum of legal issues for its allies and existing customers. Those services range from drafting and reviewing contracts to advising on regulatory matters. In addition, the firm helps protect Ohio consumers through pursuing class actions against large corporations. And as a Thornville, Ohio general practice firm, the firm regularly helps local residents with anything from their estate planning to their small business needs.
Being of maximum service is a key value here at Whetstone Legal, LLC. To that end, Attorney Whetstone continues to utilize his experience in personal injury and business litigation. Our office continues to handle premises liability claims, car accident cases, and small business disputes.
While we prefer assisting clients in avoiding disputes through proper legal planning, the firm is also dedicated to helping individuals resolve those conflicts, especially against large companies. In fact, Attorney Stephen G. Whetstone founded the practice in response to homeowners' frustrations with handling their claims process after having their homes damaged by wind or hail. Steve welcomes the complexities that come with Insurance Law. The firm thrives on helping homeowners get the coverage they paid for. And we take pleasure in making sure they’re treated in good faith by their insurer throughout the claims process.
Here at Whetstone Legal, we are honored to be the only thing standing between our clients and huge corporations. We know how these companies operate and are used to forcing corporations to do right by their customers. Whetstone Legal highly values doing that, but finds answering clients' questions to be the most important aspect of practicing the law. So always feel free to call with any question or concern.
“We are honored to be the only thing standing between our clients and huge corporations. We strive to bring calm after the storm.”
