What McCulloch Felger Fite & Gutmann does

McCulloch Felger Fite & Gutmann Co LPA is a privately held, Ohio Limited Liability Partnership law firm headquartered at 123 Market Street, Piqua, Ohio, tracing its origins to 1895. The firm provides legal services to individuals, families, and small businesses in the Piqua area and broader Northern Miami Valley, organized across five core practice areas: Estate Planning and Wills; Real Estate and Closings; Small Business and Corporate Law; Family Law and Relations; and Other Areas of Practice (disability, Social Security, personal injury, employment, creditors' rights). It has three named attorneys — Michael E. Gutmann (since 1984), Frank J. Patrizio (since 1991), and Nathaniel J. Funderburg (since 2008) — and operates with a total headcount in the 11–50 band per firmographic data.

The firm operates as a traditional professional services practice, not a technology product. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service legal engagements (estate planning, real estate closings, divorce, business formation, personal injury), with quote-based pricing, flexible payment arrangements, and acceptance of cash, check, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: same-day consultations are offered by phone at (937) 202-4025, walk-in at the Piqua office, or via website contact form. Distribution is single-channel domestic with no formal partners. The wholly-owned subsidiary Market Square Title Agency supplies title closing and examination services, backed by Ohio Bar Title Insurance Company (a First American Title Insurance Company subsidiary).

The firm's competitive position rests on local relationships and longevity: it holds a 2014 US News & World Report tier one ranking in Trust and Estates Law and a 1997 Ohio State Bar Foundation Award for community service. Its attorneys hold municipal positions (Solicitor for the Village of Bradford, Law Director for the City of Piqua) and serve on civic boards, including pro bono work via the Volunteer Lawyers Project of Dayton. Digital marketing is limited to a Hibu-template website, social sharing buttons, and a Google Business listing. No technology products, AI capabilities, mobile apps, APIs, or patents are disclosed in the source material.
