What Pickrel, Schaeffer and Ebeling, Co. LPA does

Pickrel, Schaeffer and Ebeling, Co. LPA is a private, full-service law firm based in Dayton, Ohio, with a second office in Troy. The firm serves businesses, individuals, families, and public-sector entities across the Miami Valley and broader State of Ohio. Its core practice areas include estate planning, trust and probate law; business, tax and real estate law; workers' compensation and employment law; and litigation, with additional service coverage in mergers and acquisitions, public sector law, elder law, family law, personal injury, bankruptcy, creditors' rights, and media law.

The firm is a professional-services business, not a technology platform. The input data references general legal practice technology and case management systems, but does not identify proprietary software, an app, API, integrations, or technical product architecture. Delivery is attorney-led through specialized practice groups and direct client relationships, with more than 15 dedicated attorneys in one hiring source and over 20 attorneys referenced elsewhere.

PSE monetizes through traditional legal-services fees, including hourly billing, contingency fees for certain litigation matters, flat fees for defined services such as estate planning documents, and consultation-based arrangements; free consultations are offered for some matters such as personal injury. Go-to-market is primarily direct and regional, supported by the Dayton and Troy offices, website and blog content, a Focus newsletter, social media, local media appearances, and community involvement. The data consistently frames the firm as more than a century old, although specific founding-year entries vary between 1915 and 1920.
