The Greene County Probate Court hosted its annual attorney seminar today. The Greene County Probate Court Practicum was attended by over 65 attorneys from Greene County and the surrounding counties. This year's topics included a probate legislative update, benefits and best practices in using mediation to settle disputes in contested matters, an in-depth analysis on charging attorney fees in probate practice and a segment on using technology to improve efficiency in estate planning. The event concluded with Judge O'Diam taking a few minutes to honor the probate court staff before he retires from the bench in February, 2027.

The Court would like to thank everyone who participated in this year's event, in particular, the speakers: Shawn Welch from the Ohio Judicial Conference, Sasha Blaine, Esq, Harold Paddock, Esq., Mark W. Evans, Esq. and Baron K. Henley, Esq, owner of Affinity Consulting. We also would like to thank our hosts who always provide the greatest service and atmosphere, Country Club of the North.

Check the Facts
Here is a fun fact you may not know. The Ohio Supreme Court actually monitors the performance of courts regularly. All courts are required to compile and report case clearance statistics every quarter. The Case Management Section of the Supreme Court then analyzes the information and compiles the data on a “Dashboard” on the Supreme Court’s website. Here’s the link: https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/courts/services-to-courts/court-services/dashboards/. The information is available for every court.
The Ohio Supreme Court uses this information to determine how well a particular court is functioning. It also provides transparency for the public, enabling citizens to view the true performance of a court using hard data.
As you can see from the graphic below, Greene County Probate Court is doing exceptionally well! Over the past 12 quarters, our court has achieved an average case clearance rate of 102.3% (95% clearance rate is the goal to be considered acceptable). That means Greene County Probate Court is concluding cases faster than new ones are coming in.
You can see that the first quarter of 2026 was our worst quarter in the past few years. We expected that because we were installing a new case management software system, a cumbersome process that resulted in a few scheduling delays and interruption of our ability to enforce timely filing requirements. That is all behind us now, and we are adapting to our new system well.
In December 2023, we engaged the Case Management Section of the Ohio Supreme Court to conduct an operational assessment of our Probate Court. We were seeking guidance on how we could make our court even more efficient. The result was no changes needed and no suggestions for further improvement, except implementation of electronic filing. As a result, we were able to secure a $150,000.00 technology grant from the Ohio Supreme Court to assist in purchasing the new case management system we just finished installing last month. Soon, we will have full-service electronic filing to hopefully improve our performance even more.
None of this happened overnight or by accident. This has been more than a decade-long endeavor. And it has only been possible with the teamwork of our dedicated court staff. Their knowledge of probate and extensive training in court procedures has enabled our court to consistently improve our efficiency and public service. Hats off to our court staff! They are the indispensable backbone of our court.
So, if you are ever curious how our Probate Court is performing, now you know how to check the facts. We’re happy to report we are doing well!
