What Happened at Miami University Could Have Killed Someone — and Ohio Law Says You Can Hold Them Accountable If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because your son, your daughter, your partner, or you yourself came home from a fraternity pledging process at Miami University looking like a different person — hollow-eyed, flinching at sounds, unable to sleep, covered in bruises you were told not to talk about — you are in the right place. What you are looking at is not “tradition.” It is not “bonding.” It is assault, battery, and psychological torture, and the state of Ohio wrote a law specifically to let you sue the people and the organizations that did it. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes hazing cases in Ohio and across the country. Right now, we are lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston — a case built on the same kind of facts you are living through: a pledge subjected to beatings, sleep deprivation, and psychological manipulation by an organization that promised brotherhood and delivered a chamber of horrors.

When a Suspended Fraternity Keeps Throwing Parties and a Student Dies Outside Its Door If you are reading this near the anniversary of someone you lost to campus-area violence — a son, a daughter, a friend who should still be here — you already know the worst part is not the death. The worst part is discovering that the people who could have prevented it knew the danger was there and did nothing. A fraternity was suspended. It kept operating anyway, serving alcohol, drawing crowds, opening its doors to strangers in a neighborhood everyone knew was dangerous. A university knew this was happening. Nobody stopped it. And now your family is left with a grave and a question: does the law let anyone answer for this? We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We take wrongful-death and negligent-security cases in Ohio, working with local counsel where the case requires it. Ralph Manginello has spent 27 years in courtrooms, including federal court, and right now he is lead counsel in an active hazing lawsuit against a national fraternity and a major university — a case built on the same kind of institutional failure you are reading about here.

Ohio State Alpha Tau Omega Hazing Lawsuit: What the 2029 Suspension Means for Victims and Families If you are reading this page, your son came home from Ohio State different — or he did not come home at all. Maybe he called you at 3 a.m. from a bathroom floor. Maybe the university called you instead. Maybe you found out through the news that Alpha Tau Omega has been suspended until 2029, and you are only now connecting that announcement to the night your child stopped being himself. We are going to tell you exactly what that suspension means, what your rights are under Ohio law, and what to do in the hours and days ahead — because the decisions you make right now will decide whether the people who hurt your son ever answer for it.

Ohio School Hazing & Sexual Assault: What the Law Gives Your Family When the Institution Failed Your Child You are reading this at an hour when no parent should be awake. Your son went to football camp. He came back hurt in a way that does not show on a uniform. A coach knew. He said “boys being boys.” And now the photographs are on Snapchat, and the people who should have protected him are the ones circling your family. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We take Ohio school-hazing and sexual-assault cases, and the first thing we want you to know is this: what happened to your child is not a tradition, it is not a mistake, and it is not something the law lets anyone dismiss with four words.

Ohio School Hazing & Sexual Assault: Your Legal Rights After the Ursuline High School Lawsuit If you are reading this page, your family has been torn open. Maybe your son came home from a football trip and could not say what happened — not at first, maybe not for days. Maybe you found out because someone showed you a video on a phone, or because a coach finally called you after you called him three times, or because your son stopped eating and stopped sleeping and you took him to a doctor and the doctor said the word “trauma” and your world split in half. Maybe you are the one who drove to the school and sat across from the people you trusted with your child and heard them tell you “boys will be boys” — and in that moment you understood that the institution you trusted was never going to protect your son, and that the people in charge had already chosen the football program over your child. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has spent 27 years in courtrooms including federal court, and right now he is the lead counsel in…

Bowling Green Fraternity Hazing Death: What the $6.5 Million Judgment Against the PIKE President Means for Ohio Families If you are reading this because your child was hurt or killed in a fraternity hazing event at Bowling Green State University or any Ohio campus, we want you to know three things before anything else: what happened was not an accident — it was a foreseeable, preventable catastrophe that the organization that ran it had every legal duty to stop; the law in Ohio gives families real power to hold every layer of the machine accountable, from the student who handed your child the bottle to the national fraternity that collected dues and looked the other way; and the single most important thing you can do right now, today, is freeze the evidence before the people who built this culture erase it. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC.

Bowling Green, Ohio Fraternity Hazing Wrongful Death — Who Pays When a Pledge Doesn’t Come Home The phone rings at 2 a.m. Your son is at a hospital in Bowling Green. He went to a fraternity event hours ago and now he is on a ventilator. The doctors use words like “blood alcohol” and “unresponsive” and “coma” and you try to assemble them into something that makes sense. It does not make sense. He is twenty years old. You dropped him off at a dormitory a semester ago. And now you are driving through the dark trying to reach Wood County Hospital before the next phone call — the one that changes everything permanently. If you are reading this page, that phone call has already come, or it is about to. We are here to tell you what happens next in the law, what to freeze before it disappears, and who is accountable when a fraternity ritual becomes a death sentence.

You may be a parent who got the phone call no parent should ever receive — that your child was found unconscious after a fraternity event, dropped at an apartment like a piece of furniture that had become inconvenient, and that the doctors are saying the words “life support.” Or you may already be past that terrible night, living in the aftermath, holding a death certificate that says “acute alcohol intoxication” and a police report that names a fraternity ritual you never knew existed. We are writing this for you — the person sitting at a kitchen table in the dark, trying to understand how a 20-year-old who went to college to learn ended up dead at a fraternity house, and who is responsible for that.

Ohio Hazing Wrongful Death: Collin’s Law, the Law That Came Too Late, and the Fight That Has Only Begun If you are reading this at 2 a.m. — if your child is in the ground because a fraternity poured alcohol down a pledge’s throat until he stopped breathing, and the university that was supposed to protect him is already circling the wagons — then you are in the exact moment this page was written for.

Bowling Green, Ohio Fraternity Hazing Death: The BGSU Pi Kappa Alpha Case and What It Means for Every Family If you are reading this page, you already know the worst thing a parent can learn. A phone call from a hospital in Bowling Green. A notification from a university that conduct violations have been issued. A fraternity’s press release expressing heartbreak while its lawyers circle the wagons. You are in the first hours or weeks of a grief that will not end, and you are surrounded by institutions that are already protecting themselves instead of telling you the truth.
