McCleery Law Firm

Extraordinary Legal Help for Those in Need

McCleery Law Firm was founded by Attorney Greg McCleery shortly after passing the bar, as a solo practice. From the beginning, he focused on setting an extraordinarily high bar for customer service and responsiveness. Under his leadership, the firm embarked on a program of exponential growth, opened six new branch office locations, and brought on experienced legal talent to join the McCleery Law team. He has handled hundreds of family, juvenile, and criminal law cases and worked extensively on oil and gas title research and curative matters for corporate and individual clients. One of his passions is working with local business owners to offer guidance on how to succeed, innovate, and grow their own businesses, and leverage new technology to their advantage. In addition to managing his legal practice, Greg continues to work with local agencies to address issues of domestic violence and to ensure equal access to justice.

Our Mission

Practicing law requires being willing to fight other people’s battle just as hard as if they were your own. People call us when they are facing problems without easy answers. Whatever it is that they need solved, they’re looking for someone who understands what they’re up against, and can help them through that process, confidently and capably. We begin every day with the mindset that people are depending on us to do our best in their toughest situations. Putting the client’s needs first, using all our skill and energy and creativity to help solve those problems, is how we measure success.

We ask our lawyers to be down to earth, easy to work with, tough advocates in the courtroom, and to always recommend the best option for the client. If we might be able to solve a problem with a five-minute phone call instead of a five-month court case, we’ll let you know about that option. Serving our clients well starts with having attorneys whose heart is in the right place, and we’re proud to work with a team who shares that with one another.

With our main office in New Philadelphia and branches in Akron, Canton, Coshocton, Millersburg, Carrollton, and Cadiz, we are able to serve many communities across eastern Ohio. We also travel to neighboring counties to serve our clients. Our lawyers have experience with a wide range of legal issues, including divorce and family law, criminal law, personal injury, probate, trusts and estate planning, bankruptcy, business planning, and more.

  • Thank you very much for your work in my case Mr. McCleery and Mr. Morris, words cannot express how much it means to me

    - Gabriel Burton

    McCleery represented me for almost a full year in a case where I was falsely accused of domestic violence and the subsequent custody battle as well. Mr. McCleery has the incredible ability to break down confusing legal jargon into an every day working man’s language (I am a factory worker). He also dealt with my family incredibly well, addressing their concerns and frustrations with both empathy and a deep knowledge of the law. Mr. McCleery also did a great job of keeping me informed of any developments and also reminding me of court times. In the courtroom, Mr. McCleery really shined with his knowledge of the law and his preparedness for multiple lines of questioning.

  • I would recommend this firm to anyone.

    - Brandi Leslie

    Greg McCleery and the team members I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the past few years have always addressed my concerns promptly and professionally. I appreciate the firm working hard to help resolve my cases and obtaining the best possible outcomes with honesty and integrity. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

  • If there were more than 5 stars....I'd give 5+.

    - Jackie Edwards

    This legal team is amazing! I’ve spoke and dealt with several associates there, always helpful, quick with an answer or a reply. And if they didn’t have the answer, willing to help figure it out or find out where to go to find information. I highly suggest anyone looking for legal assistance to contact this office immediately. Don’t hesitate in thinking they may not be able to help. They are willing to go above and beyond. I’ve personally been dealing with a legal issue for several years now, and the associates here helped me immediately after I emailed them in regards to my issue. If there were more than 5 stars….I’d give 5+. Attorney’s and staff aren’t just “all talk”. They know the inside outs of the legal system and put their client at ease. Words can’t express my gratitude for the associates and staff. Give them a call (or email), you will not be disappointed.

  • Efficient, quick, and effective; extremely rare qualities in a law firm.

    - Travis Soules

    I was receiving letters from the city questioning my adherence to property codes, and one phone call from Mr. McCleery had the dispute solved permanently in less than 5 minutes. Efficient, quick, and effective; extremely rare qualities in a law firm. Thank you Mr. McCleery!
