What Rion, Rion & Rion, L.P.A., Inc. does

Rion, Rion & Rion, L.P.A., Inc. is a privately held, three-generation family law firm founded in 1938 by Paul W. Rion in Dayton, Ohio. The firm practices across four core areas: criminal defense (its primary practice, covering federal crimes, violent crimes, OVI/DUI, sex crimes, drug crimes, white collar crimes, expungement, felonies, and misdemeanors), family law (divorce and custody), personal injury (wrongful death, medical malpractice, car accidents, slip and fall, police misconduct), and probate (guardianship, trusts, estate administration, wills, power of attorney). It is staffed by six attorneys — President Jon Paul Rion (grandson of the founder, board-certified in criminal law), President John H. Rion (board-certified, former ABCL President), Attorney Bradley D. Anderson, and Catherine H. Breault — with combined trial experience exceeding 500 jury trials, including capital cases.

The firm operates from two physical offices — its Dayton headquarters at 130 W. Second St., Suite 2150 and a secondary Springfield office at 5 E Columbia St — serving individuals and families across Montgomery, Greene, Warren, Clark, and Miami counties in Ohio. Its go-to-market is sales-led and traditional: direct client acquisition via phone intake (937.223.9133 / 937.223.0111), website contact forms, and free initial case evaluations, supported by content marketing through a blog, case-results page, and client testimonials. Spanish-language service and 24/7/365 availability are marketed prominently, and virtual consultations via telephone, Facetime, and Skype were adopted during the COVID-19 period.

Rion, Rion & Rion generates revenue exclusively through professional services fees — primarily per-matter retainers and case-specific billing — with one disclosed data point of a $4,500 retainer plus a $3,000 trial-stage fee. No technology platform, proprietary tooling, or AI/ML capability underlies the practice; the firm's assets are its human talent, brand reputation (AVVO 10.0, Best Lawyers in America, Martindale-Hubbell AV, Ohio Super Lawyers, National Trial Lawyers Top 100), and 86-year regional track record. The firm has no external investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
