Our friends at Tisdale Law are your experts on this matter.
Dog bite cases can be emotional and legally complex for both victims and pet owners.
Ohio’s new “Avery’s Law,” effective in 2026, expands dangerous and vicious dog classifications and increases penalties and owner responsibilities after serious attacks.
At Tisdale Law Office LLC, we handle matters involving:
• Dangerous/vicious dog designations
• Hearings and appeals
• Owner defense representation
• Civil liability and insurance issues
• Ohio animal law matters
We provide practical, compassionate guidance to help clients protect their rights and navigate the legal process.
***Owners only have 10 days to appeal a dangerous or vicious dog designation after receiving notice, so it is imperative to move quickly and speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
If your dog has been accused of being dangerous or vicious in Ohio, contact our office to discuss your options.
