With covid-19 issues, David Venable's office responded to my call very promptly. I received a traffic citation, as a truck driver, and he rectified the situation within a matter of days with courts and well before date to appear. Thanks!!

I have used David twice, and he is very professional and thorough. I highly recommend him.

Dave and Janice are just great, I have used them twice, and could NOT be more pleased. Would have given more than 5 stars if I could have.

I am very disappointed and dissatisfied with the way he conducts his business. I paid him 1200 to help me get child support dropped on my child who had quit school. After my own investigation with the school and child support I proved to child support with confirmation that my child quit school they closed my case . This lawyer did nothing for me and refused to give me back any of the 1200 I gave him. Never again will I be so stupid. Very valuable lesson learned from him

Mr. David Venable is a good lawyer!!!!if you need a lawyer get Mr.Venable!!! Mr. And Mrs. Venable are wonderful and I love them they always there

Great people very nice and extremely helpful. I had a simple speeding ticket and they were amazing with everything they were very clear about the case and did everything they could to help. If you’re looking for a lawyer I would highly consider hiring the Jackson law firm would hire them again no hesitation. Their rate is pretty good wasn’t very expensive they even gave me $100 off because I’m a college student.

Staff was very nice and went out of their way to help. Mr. Jackson did a great job representing us.

Best lawyer around. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Basically paid him to lose my job and go to jail mr Barton never strayed away from the state recommended sentence but urged me to take a plea without negotiating for something on my behalf which is what you pay for the with a attorney I could’ve got the same outcome without his services. Considering I don’t have any prior convictions and never served time before I thought he’d have more leverage. He allowed the state to use a dismissed case from another state as a prior.

Thomas Barton is AMAZING!!! He is extremely professional, VERY WELL KNOWN & is on top of his game!!! He is the only one you want or need on your team when you have legal problems. I would recommend him to ANY & EVERYONE I KNOW!

This man guided me from start to finish. Told me what I needed to do beforehand so I had much of the courts requirements completed which was very helpful in the end of my catastrophe which, by the way, he changed my catastrophe into just a mild inconvenience but more importantly (to me) he kept me out of jail. He was even willing to legally help me with a potential custody issue due to my DUI but thankfully I didn’t end up needing it but nonetheless I thought that was very awesome of him. All you have to do is answer his questions and do what he says, simple ????????????

I was charged with a felony that carried a mandatory minimum year prison sentence with a maximum of 5, along with 6 misdemeanor Charges that could’ve impacted me very negatively for the rest of my life, Thomas and his team handled my case very professionally and never left me in the dark not knowing the outcome of my situation. He not only managed to get the DUI and other misdemeanor charges dismissed, but was able to work out a deal and reduce my felony to a misdemeanor! I’m very satisfied and grateful for hiring Thomas Barton theirs no one that can handle your case more efficiently and professionally. Thanks again!

Writing on behalf of a guy because this guy wanted that guy to say good things about this guy, and hasn't done it yet. Won't use names for privacy sake. This guy did very good. Guy says he "would recommend this guy". Good job guy!

Rude,Disrespectful, and unprecedented acts of outright rudeness. Needs to be disbarred and seriously investigated. Especially after what happened with the 17 year old girl no matter how long ago or how remorseful someone is. Probably remorseful he got caught but what about what he did

I ask McCalep to help a mental disability person that has two cases on him. He took our money and didn't show up for court . I will never help another black business again. And his assistant is just like j wrong people.

I hired Mr McCalep firm and they was all amazing !! I was facing three different charges in Henry County and he really did the impossible on all 3 Charges with getting the two that would of cause me to lose a lot DROPPED and the 3rd one a small fee!! No you don’t hear from them everyday but that’s because they are busy making miracles happen and that’s just what him and Chanel did for me I am forever grateful and Blessed thank you guys so much for everything!!!

I called Timothy and he helped with me all of issues. He answers the phone and handles all matters with excellent results. If you are hurt in a wreck or have any criminal trouble there is no other attorney you should use. Highly recommend!!!!

Being African American I pride myself on trying to do business with my people this was a very very disappointing experience if you do not want to take a case say it in the beginning don't ghost people that are supposed to be your clients don't send them in circles don't hide from them don't avoid their calls don't pick up on other lines when they dial you from a number that you don't recognise invented them you were about to call them I would not recommend this law office to anyone who was serious about litigation who was serious about getting what was owed to them or what they deserved this company is not interested in that this company's ambulance chaser this company is all about the easy win and if they feel your case is not an easy win they will ghost you very disappointing in my opinion

The Courtroom Assassin strikes again with pure vengeance. He was disgraced when the judge denied his motion to suppress the breath test results. At which time he vowed to me that failure was not an option. He started to prepare our defense. As our trial began on June 8, 2021, he quietly leaned over to me and says, " I got this." When the trial began, he meticulously assaulted the State's witnesses (police) with precision. Upon his conclusion of the cross examination there was nothing left but carnage. The prosecutor even asked for mercy during his closing arguments. The prosecutor reasoned the police had come from a small department and deserved some leniency. Mr. Casey Cleaver concluded with explaining to the Court as to why he was so meticulous/ruthless with his assault on the State's witnesses. He looked at the jury and said, "Mr. Williams is not guilty of DUI." They all looked at him with astonishment, not believing what they had all just witnessed. After closing arguments were done, the Judge released the Jury for deliberation. They deliberated for almost five hours. Finally, they came back with a verdict. The foreman stood up and read the verdict. He said, "For driving under the influence of ALCOHOL, we the jury find the Defendant NOT GUILTY." The Courtroom Assassin sheath his sword and turned and walked out of the courtroom. Justice has been served again.

I believe it was God's timing that I met Scott when I did. After being connected with Scott through a mutual associate, Scott made me feel confident hiring him as my lawyer. I have never been in legal trouble before so of course, I was nervous. Scott did a great job outlining my case, communicating with me and also acknowledged the fact that I am a truly a good citizen. I have had several questions along the case both pertaining to the legal system and society in general. I have felt comfortable and have been able to be my true self within interaction. Scott has been able to answer all of my questions thoroughly and within a timely manner. When contacting the office, someone always answered the phone and directed me in the right direction never leading me astray. The actual law office is welcoming and nice in environment. Also upon court appearance, my lawyer was always there early and on time to represent me and provide feedback. I am truly thankful for Scott and will be recommending him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Great people to work with. They handle everything for you which means less stress for the customer. I would definitely recommend them if you want a good outcome and stress free experience.

Unfortunately I am unable to give a positive review of Scott Smith's office. I was referred to him by a friend for a simple DUI case. My experience summed up: After being personally assured from Scott himself that I would be in good hands, my case was passed from person to person and kicked down to what seemed to be the bottom of the totem pole (to an associate named Casey) who not only failed to file my paperwork on time but failed to appear to all court dates after advising me that my presence was not necessary. After several attempts to contact via email, text, voice calls, voice mails, physical appearance- my license was temporarily suspended (I was unaware of this until being pulled over for a 5 day late expired tag and then arrested for driving with a suspended license). Scott's office did acknowledge their negligence but proceeded to show the same lackadaisical effort as before, resulting in the hard suspension of my license and my request for a refund. If it were possible to give a 0 star review- I would.

Hired firm for a DUI case. They were professional, prompt, and helpful. Highly recommend for legal issues.

    The Courtroom Assassin strikes again with pure vengeance. He was disgraced when the judge denied his motion to suppress the breath test results. At which time he vowed to me that failure was not an option. He started to prepare our defense. As our trial began on June 8, 2021, he quietly leaned over to me and says, " I got this." When the trial began, he meticulously assaulted the State's witnesses (police) with precision. Upon his conclusion of the cross examination there was nothing left but carnage. The prosecutor even asked for mercy during his closing arguments. The prosecutor reasoned the police had come from a small department and deserved some leniency. Mr. Casey Cleaver concluded with explaining to the Court as to why he was so meticulous/ruthless with his assault on the State's witnesses. He looked at the jury and said, "Mr. Williams is not guilty of DUI." They all looked at him with astonishment, not believing what they had all just witnessed. After closing arguments were done, the Judge released the Jury for deliberation. They deliberated for almost five hours. Finally, they came back with a verdict. The foreman stood up and read the verdict. He said, "For driving under the influence of ALCOHOL, we the jury find the Defendant NOT GUILTY." The Courtroom Assassin sheath his sword and turned and walked out of the courtroom. Justice has been served again.

    I believe it was God's timing that I met Scott when I did. After being connected with Scott through a mutual associate, Scott made me feel confident hiring him as my lawyer. I have never been in legal trouble before so of course, I was nervous. Scott did a great job outlining my case, communicating with me and also acknowledged the fact that I am a truly a good citizen. I have had several questions along the case both pertaining to the legal system and society in general. I have felt comfortable and have been able to be my true self within interaction. Scott has been able to answer all of my questions thoroughly and within a timely manner. When contacting the office, someone always answered the phone and directed me in the right direction never leading me astray. The actual law office is welcoming and nice in environment. Also upon court appearance, my lawyer was always there early and on time to represent me and provide feedback. I am truly thankful for Scott and will be recommending him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Bruce Harvey is definitely the real deal he help my cousin in a tough sweet 16 murder case my cousin is now a free n thanks to the help of Bruce Harvey

Bruce is a brilliant lawyer. I have seen his work in two Federal Court Rooms where the defendant was acquitted and found "Not Guilty". In one case the judge denied re direct questioning and there were no witnesses for the defense called. The case was won by cross examinations of the prosecutor's witnesses and Bruce's opening and closing statements. He is awesome!

Love working with Mr. Bruce very honest!!

Bruce Harvey is probably the best attorney in the state, possibly the country. He is direct, honest, reasonable with his clients and he is aggressive, passionate, commanding in the courtroom. He is highly respected by his peers as well as those with whom he works in the Federal and State Court Systems. He is a man of principle who has spent time behind bars for contempt when he felt his client was being treated unfairly and needed to make a statement. He shatters every stereotype you hear about attorneys and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I would HIGHLY recommend Michael Moran & Associates. He was quick to get back to me, stayed in constant contact throughout the whole process, and best of all he got the job done. His friendly approach made me feel like I was family and he turned a less than desirable situation into one I could later laugh about. I Hope you see this Michael!

There is no one more caring and understanding than Mike. What an unbelievable person and effective lawyer. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with him and working through an incredibly stressful time. He not only provided great legal advice and counsel, but also went deeper and tried to understand the root of the cause. There is no one else I'd rather have worked with and I'd recommend him a million times over. Thanks Mike for everything you did for me.

I have always had excellent results from this office over the past 20 years. Great on personal injury, family and custody cases.

How often can you say an attorney exceeded my expectations? I can and I will. Mr Moran handled a very sensitive legal matter for me. He handled it expeditiously,professionally and fairly. I will definitely use him for any legal needs or legal advice in the future

I was an Ohio resident looking for a ATL attorney out of all my research Mike was the only one willing to go the extra mile without even being retained so I decided to hire his firm and it was a true blessing thanks mike God bless you and your firm.
