I reached out to chat about my case and to potentially hire him to represent me but he calls me, talks over me and will not even listen to me. I guess he just didn’t want to take my case. He could of just said that instead of acting the way he did. I recommend someone more professional.

Doug represented me in a divorce. He went above and beyond. I recommend him highly!

I requested assistance on an out of State issue and after seeing great reviews on Google for Mr. Ball I reached out to him and found him very courteous and Professional. The staff is quick to communicate with you and I found the support and the process very impressive. I would highly recommend Mr. Ball for legal counsel.

I highly recommend this attorney!!! We hired Doug Ball to help with my brother's extremely complicated divorce action, his specialty! He was very professional, realistic, and helpful! He walked us through everything and was there to answer our questions every step of the way! He was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable! The outcome was the best we could have hoped for and was made so much easier with Doug's guidance. I would recommend Doug to anyone needing a competent, thorough, and respected attorney!!!!

On two separate occasions I had the pleasure of hiring Mr. Ball as my legal counsel. In both cases Mr. Ball was extremely professional answering the numerous questions I had during several phone calls. He treated my cases with complete competence, explaining to me the situation ahead of me and what he felt the outcome would likely be. The dates of court Mr. Ball came fully prepared and in the both cases the charges were completely dropped due to what I feel was Mr. Balls negotiation and FULL knowledge of the legal guidelines of my situation. I fully respect and if ever needed again would use Mr. Ball's expertise for my legal concerns

I highly recommend utilizing Jim Dearie's services if you ever need a great attorney. He responds in a timely manner, explains everything in a way that is understanding and not condescending, and is professional and friendly. Additionally, he was able to get a reduction of the charges filed against a family member for a reasonable price and was then able to have that record sealed. 100% positive experience.

I was treated with the upmost respect and care for the duration of my case. Attorney James Dearie and his paralegal, Ben, were always there to answer my questions and made sure I was taken care of! I would highly recommend them! They were incredibly kind and helped make an anxious time in my life much better.

So far so good. In might change this friending on them outcome of my case

I definitely recommend Joslyn Law Firm for anyone in need of a lawyer! Very professional, straightforward, very responsive no matter the time of day, overall Joslyn Law Firm has a really great team. Justin Bagley represented me in my case and I got better results than expected. I am very satisfied 10/10!

I need to give an overwhelming thanks to the entire staff at Joslyn Law, especially Brian Joslyn. From initial contact (which was on the weekend) Brian assured me he would do what it takes to get me the best outcome. He certainly kept his word, getting my case dismissed. The whole office staff was kind and encouraging. I felt nothing but positive support and compassion through my entire case. If needed, I would call this firm first, you will not be dissapointed

Mark was a blessing today Very professional and efficient. I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case and I can say if I did not have this firm represent me the outcome would’ve have been much worse but they handled it quick and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much mark!

I have had extremely positive and thorough experiences with both Justin Bagley and Mark Wieczorek in my case involving license suspension and a costly clerical error with the court system involving a bench warrant arrest. Mark and Justin have gone above and beyond with their responses to my needs and questions as well as being knowledgeable, thorough, as well extremely polite and professional. Despite the frustrating situation I was in, I noticed how each of them met my needs. If you need excellent representation and clear and honest answers, I highly recommend either of these two sharp and diligent attorneys!

These guys are the bomb! They show up and work hard for their clients. I appreciate them and recommend them for anyone that needs help

Chris runs an honest, no bs operation. I would highly recommend this law office to anyone.

Chris Beck is in a league of his own. I first met Chris at a non-profit fundraising event downtown many years ago. He has since become my personal/professional attorney, go-to trusted advisor, and a friend. I have recommended him to many professional colleagues, friends, and family over the years. "Better Call Beck" has become a common phrase in my network, because he makes problems go away. Time and time again, he exceeds expectations. I've worked with many attorneys over the years as clients of mine (I ran a marketing agency), and Chris is unique among most veteran attorneys in that it isn't just business with him. He is a family man, deeply compassionate, sincere, and guided by integrity. You don't feel like you're "on the clock", he genuinely cares and you feel like he has your back at all times. Yet in the courtroom when he's representing you, he becomes a "grizzly." I rest easy knowing no matter what curveballs life throws, personal or professional, Beck is a call away. That, along with all of his work with the community, volunteering with non-profits and local groups, Chris is someone who genuinely makes Dayton a better place to live.

We worked with Beck Law office and are very pleased with their professionalism and efficiency in helping us with our problem. They helped us minimize the impact of the situation quickly and cost effectively. If the need arises again I now have them on speed-dial!

Took care of our issue and relieved a lot of stress during an especially stressful period in our lives. Promptly answered any questions asked. Did exactly what he said he was going to do and the outcome was even better than initial assessment. Definitely recommend.

I met Chris at a point where my life was trending in a downward spiral and the outcome looked grim, however Chris came in and completely changed everything. My experience with Beck Law Office has been nothing short of immaculate and I would recommend them to all my friends and family that are in need of legal services. Chris was always very prompt and professional during our talks and kept me up to date on my case when it was on going. I have nothing but great things to say about Chris. All deserving of a 5 star review.

He is amazing! He takes the time to really get to know you and makes you feel extremely comfortable in such an unfamiliar process. His professionalism and knowledge are like no other. He's represented me successfully before and I couldn't imagine having anyone else represent me in the future if need be.

Excellent, professional, and prompt. Attained complete dismissal of a ticket.

Nice guy, when you can talk to him, great attorney

This man was a blessing. I have my freedom thanks to Mr. Nash I was facing my fourth DUI. Facing a minimum of four months in jail and losing my license for at least a year. I Never spent a day in jail and i am still driving. I RECOMMEND THIS MAN TO ANYONE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION, HE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY( his prices where very fair considering all he has done for me.) Thank you Mr. Nash.

Experienced, knowledgeable and efficient. Our family and specifically my son James owes his freedom to Mr. Nash. Retaining him was the best decision we could have made. He successfully defended my son on a very complex case with multiple charges. His knowledge of the system and ability to develop a winning defense strategy is exceptional. If you or a family member has a need for a reliable defense on a difficult case, I highly recommend calling Rick. Having him on our side made all the difference.

Nick is a great lawyer who helped me in a very difficult time. He is attentive, knowledgeable and reasonably priced for the quality of service he provided. I appreciate everything he did and would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Mr. Klingensmith helped me with a case 4 years old after moving out of Ohio and needing my license back. He was able to get my case dropped and even helped me figure out the next steps I needed to take to become valid again. I've been without a license for 7 years, finally I'll be able to get it back thanks to Mr. Klingensmith!! Professional and friendly, could not recommend this man more.

Called to get a quote.. got honest advice that would save me money.. if (and I hope I don’t) I need in the future you’ll be now saved and my first call. Contacted 6 other law offices for pricing and he was the only one to tell me the steps I needed to take that would save me without breaking the bank! That eased my anxiety, thank you

Amazing attorney

Nick is a great lawyer. I had a dui with an accident which made it vehicular assualt, a felony of the second degree. I ended up getting it dropped to an F4 and did six months at a recovery facility. I was originally facing 2 to 8 years, 2 being the minimum. Good lawyer and great person.

I would like to take the time to thank Ashely Dawson for all your help. Ashely was there every step of the way throughout my case. Constant communication. I do not know what the outcome would have been without that team. But with Bliele and Dawson, you can expect the best!!! Thank you to the entire team for all your hard work. Highly Recommended!!

I was in some serious legal trouble to the point where I thought there was no hope. I originally hired a cheap local lawyer to represent me. I quickly found I was just a case number to that guy. I was about to give up & take a plea deal which would have sent me to prison for many years and completely destroyed my life when I decided to start researching other attorneys. Luckily, I discovered the firm of Bleile & Dawson. Something told me I needed to reach out to them, so I submitted a contact form on their website late one night. To my surprise, one of the partners, Ashley Dawson, called me within minutes of me sending the message. Even though it was late at night, Ashley took the time to listen to all of my concerns. She immediately made me feel at ease & I was able to freely open up to her about my case. I was immediately impressed with her confidence, knowledge, and professionalism. She seemed to understand what I was going through. In that initial call, I knew I needed to hire her and her firm to take over my case. I could tell I wasn’t just another number, but instead they cared about me and the outcome of my case. The next day I talked to Ashley again and within a short period of time I liquidated my life to retain the firm. It was the best decision I ever made and worth every penny. Ashley immediately took charge of the case and somehow turned it completely around. I couldn’t believe all of the little things my first lawyer either didn’t do or overlooked or didn’t know how to do. After many months of Ashley representing me, she somehow made it to where I did not have to go to prison or do any time at all. I don’t know how she did it, but Ashley got me the best result possible. I could not have asked for a better outcome or attorney. I highly recommend Ashley Dawson and her firm. They saved my life.

I had Chelsea Panzeca represent me in a case. She was more than professional. She answered calls, texts or emails any time I reached out to her. I would recommend her to anyone. She generally cared about my case and got me the best results possible. Highly recommend. Worth the money paying for a good lawyer.

I talk to miss chelsea on the phone she talked to me very nice way i was very stressed about wrong allegations on my husband . She take care of his case. She work on the case carefully. Also the fee is very reasonable. She is best

Absolutely recommend to everyone! Jackie was amazing, she is confident, smart, and fought to the end. Very responsive, and detailed.She helped my son with such hard case and it was great final result. I have my son back and so blessed I had Jackie as my lawyer.

Brad is very professional, responsive and gave full attention on my case. He’s very friendly, very experienced and made me feel very secure and confident during my whole case, since the day one. He definitely knows and knows a lot about everything he do! His services are high quality, affordable, he answered all my questions, and always made me feel welcome to reaching him out any time if I had any questions or concerns toward my case. He was always available for me. I’d recommend him and I already recommended him to my family and to my friends.

I highly recommend hiring Brad! He helped me out so much when I felt beyond anxious about the charges against me and got my charge brought down much much lower. I'm happy with how things turned out and he is also very quick to answer any questions you may have as well as his assistant. They were both very friendly, professional and easy to talk to.

Brad handled my case with professionalism and was able to really help me out. He handled every aspect of my case and allowed me the opportunity to get the best outcome possible. I would recommend Brad to anyone that is in need of a quality lawyer!

I'm very pleased with them representing my case. They helped guide me through the process and understanding of the legal system. Thanks again

Very happy with the attorney Brad Groene he was very helpful and very professional. He made sure my son and I both understood what was going on and explained all the consequences that my son could get. I would highly recommend this law firm. They are very helpful.

Mr. Kelly Farrish was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! He took my case very last minute and walked me through the whole process. I am so grateful and would highly recommend Mr. Farrish and The Farrish Law Firm.

Mr. Kelly Farrish came highly recommended to us for our legal representation regarding a family member. Upon first making his acquaintance and most assuredly after having been represented by him we clearly know why. His years of experience and knowledge were clearly evident and un-refutable. From the moment we met him we had absolutely no doubt that we had complete professionalism at our service and we could not have chosen a more qualified attorney. We could rest fully confident knowing that he would be giving his best possible service. He has a very genuine personality and his diligence in performing his service is just the same. Always personally in touch and always just a phone call away. He is a class act and A-1 attorney. As he came highly recommended to us, we would most certainly recommend him to anyone.

If you’re able to see my profile you’ll see I rarely write reviews. Kelly Farrish was my attorney 18 years ago. I felt I needed to share my experience so that others may benefit. Kelly Farrish is by far the most capable and qualified attorney in the Tri-State area. He is a consummate professional, who is highly respected in the legal community. It quickly became apparent, through the progression of my case, that Kelly had cultivated strong relationships with various legal professionals, at all levels, which he optimizes in defense of his clients to the best of his ability. He is truly dedicated to his clients. After hours and weekends, Kelly answers the call himself. Lol. See what I’m saying..... Experienced Knowledgeable Creative with the law Persistent Compassionate Top negotiator Congenial Well Connected & Highly Respected! *This review was unsolicited.

Disclaimer: This review is about the services rendered by an individual attorney employed at this firm and is not necessarily indicative of the overall quality or impression of the law firm. Doug Nicholas was my attorney for an OVI about 10 years ago. He did absolutely nothing to attempt to obtain an equitable settlement for me for this case. He took his relationship with the judge for granted and was absolutely surprised at her sentence (which I thought was throwing the book at a first time offender in all honesty given the fact that she gave house arrest to a guy who assaulted a paramedic after he called EMS because he was drunk). He took my 1,500 dollars and seemed disinterested in my case. Not once did he try to lobby the judge further for a more lenient sentence. Not once did he offer any other alternative other than filing a motion to suppress (which I declined to have done due to my ignorance). When I asked about going back to court to get the court ordered interlock out of my car, his email response to me seemed like I was inconveniencing him after I paid him a substantial sum of money to represent me even though part of the reason I had an interlock was due to his lackadaisical attitude about my situation ("Yeah, we can try doing that I guess" to paraphrase). Absolutely ZERO care for his client. I have no issues with Kelly as he was very pleasant and took my call the night of my arrest and did not seem irritated that I called him at such a late hour (hence the extra star). I cannot, however, recommend the particular attorney addressed in this review to anyone looking for representation for OVI cases.

I hired Robert Dziech For a probation violation, he was very rude and was always to busy to discuss details about my case. After him yelling at me at court in front of (victims of my case) totally embarrassing me All because he didn’t respond back to my text message or calls the day before calling me a liar after I showed him my call log and my text. I fired him and he only gave me half of my money back! I would not recommend this guy for legal services Or advice. He made me feel like he was working for the court the entire time instead of helping me out!

Great professional service and promptness, I would definitely recommend!

Best in town if you want to plea bargain. Don't expect them to contact you or inform you of court dates until the last minute. VERY expensive for poor service.

Brilliant legal team here I would recommend Harvey

Seen a lawyer there. Still going thru the process of probating my mom's estate. Ugh!

Professional office space completely visible from street
