Who We Are
I started Mense Law Firm, LLC partly because of my parents. You see, as my parents became older and started having health issues, I went looking for answers. I searched to find the best way to help my parents through the aging process. In a quest to find these answers, I decided to help others who were in a similar situation. With the support of my wife and two children, I returned to school to obtain my law degree from the University Of Dayton School Of Law. Mense Law Firm, LLC is focused on the unique needs of adults. We sit down with you, ask questions, listen to what you say, and work with you and your family to find solutions that meet your needs. Together with Denise, Office Manager, Candace and Danielle our Legal Assistants, Janie our receptionist and our two daughters, we will work with you, to provide the best solution for YOU! Mense Law Firm, LLC is a family operation. We consider our employees and clients to be part of our family. While we are human, and face the same challenges as other families, we continuously strive to better ourselves and provide everyone with the care, attention, and support they deserve and need.
