Who Are the Attorneys at Oberholtzer & Molnar, LPA?
Updated
Oberholtzer & Molnar, LPA lists two attorneys on its website: John C. Oberholtzer and Robert A. Molnar. The Medina, Ohio firm also emphasizes a long history of public service among its members — including five past or current judges — though the site itself provides only names and titles for the two current attorneys, with further details available through the site's attorney pages.
The Two Listed Attorneys
The firm's "Our Attorneys" section identifies:
| Attorney | Title as Listed |
|---|---|
| John C. Oberholtzer | Attorney |
| Robert A. Molnar | Attorney |
The website does not publish individual biographies, practice concentrations, bar admissions, or education for either attorney on the pages reviewed. The site notes that "Attorney Details" are available, so anyone needing credentials, experience, or specific practice focus should use that link or contact the firm directly.
What the Firm Says About Its Attorneys' Background
Rather than individual résumés, the firm describes its attorneys collectively:
- Founded in 1939 by Clayton J. Oberholtzer.
- Since inception, the firm has been staffed by attorneys who have had "distinguished careers in public office and in the private practice."
- Five previous members of the firm have served or are serving as Judge.
- Other members have been a County Commissioner, members of a school board, or a municipal Law Director.
- Attorneys at the firm "have handled legal matters in many courts over a wide range of geographical locations."
- The firm states it is also licensed to practice in Florida, in addition to serving Medina County and beyond.
This public-service history is presented as the firm's stated basis for its commitment to client service, not as a per-attorney credential list.
Practice Areas the Attorneys Work In
The firm describes itself as a full-service law firm. Its listed practice areas are:
- Probate
- Criminal Defense
- Civil Litigation
- Real Estate
- Estate Planning
- Domestic Relations
The site also references a "full list of practice areas" and states the firm is a debt relief agency that helps people file for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. The site does not map individual attorneys to specific practice areas, so if you need an attorney for a particular matter, ask the firm which attorney handles it.
How to Verify an Attorney's Credentials
Because the website gives limited individual detail, use these steps to confirm background before engaging:
- Check the firm's attorney pages via the "Attorney Details" link on medinalaw.com.
- Contact the firm directly — Phone: 330-725-4929; Email: [email protected]; Address: 39 Public Square, Suite 201, Medina, OH 44256.
- Confirm bar status with the relevant state bar (Ohio, and Florida for the Florida licensure claim), which maintains public records of admission, standing, and discipline.
- Ask about the specific attorney's experience with your type of matter during the consultation.
Note the site's own disclaimer: communication through its contact form does not form a client-attorney relationship, and the site is for general information only, not formal legal advice.
Common Points to Keep in Mind
- The site names only two attorneys; it does not state whether other attorneys or staff work at the firm.
- "Five previous members have served or are serving as Judge" refers to the firm's history, not necessarily the two current attorneys.
- The Florida licensure statement applies to the firm generally; confirm which attorney holds which license.
- The address appears as both "Suite 201, Medina, OH 44265" and "44256" in different parts of the page — use 44256, the ZIP shown in the Contact section, when mailing or mapping.
