Before you sign your severance agreement… read this.

If you’ve been offered a severance package, it might feel like something you need to decide on quickly.

But here’s what most people don’t realize:

That payment is usually being offered in exchange for your signature on a legal document—often including a full release of claims.

That means you could be giving up important rights without fully understanding it.

And once you sign, you typically can’t go back.

If you’re 40 or older, you may have:
• 21 days to review the agreement
• 7 days to revoke after signing

Even with that time, many people feel pressure to decide quickly—and that’s where mistakes can happen.

At Agee Clymer, we help individuals across Ohio review severance agreements and understand what they’re being asked to sign before making a decision.

👉 If you’ve been offered a severance package, it’s worth having it reviewed first. https://www.ageeclymer.com/attorney/sharon-cason-adams/

When a police officer, firefighter, EMT, corrections officer, or dispatcher is hurt in the line of duty, the claim is often more complicated than a standard workers’ compensation case.

These injuries can involve not only physical trauma, but PTSD, heart conditions, cumulative wear and tear, and questions about whether you can safely return to work.

That is why it is important to work with an attorney who understands the unique challenges first responders face.

Mark Heinzerling works with first responders across Columbus, Jackson, and throughout Ohio to help protect their rights after a line-of-duty injury.

He helps with:
• Workers’ compensation claims
• PTSD and psychological injury claims
• Disability retirement and long-term disability
• Return-to-work disputes
• Appeals after denied claims

If you are searching for a first responder injury attorney in Columbus, a firefighter workers’ compensation lawyer, a police officer injury attorney, or an EMT disability attorney in Ohio, the team at Agee, Clymer, Mitchell & Portman is here to help.

🏀 Report the injury
🏀 Document what happened
🏀 Protect your rights
🏀 Talk with an experienced workers’ compensation attorney

The team at Agee, Clymer, Mitchell & Portman helps injured workers across Ohio understand their options and fight for the benefits they deserve.

1. Applying to the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System for disability benefits is confusing and time-consuming.
2. Qualifying for OPERS disability benefits is almost always complicated by questions over eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) eligibility.
3. Receiving OPERS disability benefits often requires appealing an initial denial of payments, and sometimes going to court.

Enlisting advice and representation from an OPERS attorney will help a disabled state employee respond appropriately to the denial notice, prepare for an appeals hearing, and know how to press forward if more than one appeal is required. A final option when all official appeals are denied is to take the OPERS program to court by filing an administrative lawsuit. The rules for such court cases are different from other lawsuits, so going in with a lawyer who deeply understands that procedure and the OPERS system is essential to succeeding.

Many workplace injuries don’t seem serious at first.

After an incident at work, it’s common for people to feel some soreness or back pain and assume it will improve in a few days.

But waiting too long to report an injury or document what happened can sometimes make a workers’ compensation claim more difficult later.

Even something like back pain or soreness may be the first sign of a more serious injury.

If something happens at work and you begin experiencing pain, it’s important to pay attention to your body and consider reporting the incident to your employer.

The attorneys at Agee, Clymer, Mitchell & Portman help injured workers across Ohio understand their rights and navigate the workers’ compensation system.

The truth of the matter is that Ohio has laws that specifically protects employees from retaliation that stems from filing a claim. Employers in any industry are strictly prohibited from terminating, demoting, or even disciplining employees just because you utilized your right to file a claim.

Worse case scenario if you are fired shortly after filing a claim, the state of Ohio allows 180 days from the time of retaliation to file a complaint, and to do that the best way to start the process would be to speak to one of our qualified and trustworthy Lawyers here at Agee Clymer.

Agee Clymer fights to protect the rights of all citizens within the state of Ohio, and that includes making sure those who receive unfair treatment from employers are able to receive the compensation they deserve.

Being denied Social Security Disability can feel overwhelming — especially when you know your condition truly limits your ability to work. And unfortunately, initial denials are incredibly common.

What many people don’t realize is that the hearing is often the most important moment in the entire process.

It’s your opportunity to speak directly to the person deciding your case and explain how your condition affects your real, day-to-day life — not just what’s written in a medical file. This is also the stage where approval rates are highest nationwide.

But deadlines matter. Medical documentation matters. And understanding how Social Security evaluates both physical and mental health conditions matters.

If you’ve received a denial letter, guessing or waiting can cost you time — and sometimes your claim.

The team at Agee, Clymer, Mitchell & Portman works with people across Ohio every day to help them understand their options and prepare for what comes next.

📞 If you’re feeling unsure or stuck, a quick conversation can help you understand where you stand and what steps make sense now.

Local Representation Matters in Jackson, OH
