Pro Bono & Reduced-Fee Work
We set aside capacity each year for families and founders who need sound counsel but cannot carry a standard fee, so a tight budget never stands between someone and a plan that protects them.
Community Involvement
Rooted in the place we call home.
Costaras Law has been part of Northeast Ohio since 2014. We show up where Greater Cleveland's owners, founders, and families gather, because getting things done in the legal arena often depends on who, not just what, you know.
Where We Belong
A firm that is genuinely local.
We are headquartered in Independence, Ohio, in the heart of Greater Cleveland, and we have served the region since 2014. The owners we counsel run shops on the same streets we drive. The families we plan for raise their kids in the same school districts.
Being local is not a marketing line for us. It is how the work gets done. We know the probate courts, the local bar, and the business networks by name, and that web of relationships routinely moves matters forward faster for the clients who trust us.
Memberships & Affiliations
The networks we are proud to support.
These are the organizations Costaras Law shows up for, learns from, and gives back to across Northeast Ohio and beyond. Each one keeps us close to the owners, founders, and families we serve.

How We Give Back
Showing up beyond the billable.
Being well connected in the community comes with a responsibility to give back to it. Here is how a boutique firm puts that into practice.
Plain-Language Education
Nicholas speaks to local business groups and shares free guidance on estate, business, and contract basics, because an informed owner makes better decisions long before they ever need a lawyer.
Local Boards & Networks
We stay active in Greater Cleveland business associations and bar groups, lending time and counsel to the organizations that keep the region's small businesses healthy.
“We did not build this firm to serve a map. We built it to serve our neighbors, the same families and owners we run into at the grocery store.”
