About Bridget Purdue
Bridget Purdue Riddell built a legal career that started in classrooms and ended in courtrooms and conference rooms. She studied economics at the University of Notre Dame, earning a B.A. in 1999. She went on to law school at Ohio State University in Columbus and received her J.D. in 2004.
After law school she entered practice in Ohio. Over the years she handled a range of matters that required both careful analysis and practical problem-solving. Her work included counseling individuals and businesses, drafting pleadings, and appearing in hearings. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical: she prepares thoroughly and prefers clear legal reasoning over rhetorical flourish.
Riddell has maintained ties to the legal community in Ohio. She is an active member of the Ohio State Bar Association. That involvement has kept her current on changes in state procedure and professional rules. It also provided a steady professional network as she developed her practice.
Her career moved into private practice under the banner of Riddell Law LLC. She established the firm to provide legal services in the Cincinnati area and beyond. The firm operates offices listed in Cincinnati and under the same name elsewhere in Ohio. At Riddell Law LLC she has managed casework, advised clients on strategy, and coordinated litigation and transactional matters when necessary.
Her work spans several common areas of practice for small firms. She has taken on client counseling and dispute resolution, handling matters that required negotiation as much as litigation. She has experience preparing court filings and representing clients in hearings. Her practice emphasizes clear client communication; she structures matters so clients understand the options and likely outcomes.
Outside of casework, Riddell has balanced managing a small firm with keeping up professional obligations. The combination of practice management and client-facing work shapes how the firm operates. Staff and clients see a pragmatic approach to scheduling, fee arrangements, and case planning.
As of 2026 she continues to practice in Ohio through Riddell Law LLC, maintaining an office presence in Cincinnati. She remains active in the Ohio State Bar Association and practices law in the state of Ohio. Her current practice focuses on counseling clients, handling litigation, and providing transactional support.
