Richard came highly recommended by a very respected friend in the legal industry. At first he seemed interested in my issue and asked me to drop off additional information for review. After not hearing from him for about ten days I left a message which went unreturned and have left three additional messages since; all of which have gone unanswered. If he was not interested in my issue at least he could have been professional enough to give me a personal response rather than a blowoff!

John is a great lawyer saved me from 4 ovi and not scared to ask the trooper cops hard question and trap them In lies , thanks John your the best

Excellent. T.J. advised me, and didn't charge me for what I originally wanted because it was not necessary.

Awesome representation!

Mr Saia responded to my concerns in an quick manner. Promptly returned my call on a Sunday evening. Kept me well informed of my legal rights and provided strong professional guidance. Was available at anytime to address concerns. I felt well cared for. Was hands down the best experience I have ever had with an attorney. Would recommend this firm to anyone.

Pete Scranton handled my husband’s case beautifully! He got probation! Not only is Pete an extremely proficient lawyer, but he’s a great human being in general. He cares about his clients. We highly recommend Pete and this firm!!

Attorney at law Peter Scranton is a really good lawyer been there to answer my questions along the way. Professional and very helpful plus most importantly helped me win my case! Thank you guys I give a full recommendation!

Young gun? Don Olson fires on all cylinders. Sharp mind, quick witted, firm, professional, trims the fat and gets right the point. Look no further if you're looking for someone who will fight for you till the very end. I couldn't be happier with my representation and I will happily refer everyone I know if they ever need professional legal representation. Also enjoyed chatting with Ben Luftman. Brilliant mind. Thanks guys!

Do not seek legal counsel anywhere else. As soon as you get in contact with Don, he is on it. After two months of worrying about the outcome of court and how it could impact my job and future; with magic he got me a better outcome than either of us hoped for. He exceeded my expectations as well as his own.

Retained Mr.Luftman for two separate misdemeanors involving petty theft. I went into the situation extremely worried about possible jail time, fines, etc. Ben got both the charges dropped and in the end was overwhelmingly shocked by the outcome. Highly recommend these guys, they’re great and very confident in what they do. 6/5 stars!

Its always stressful when you need the services of an attorney. When I called Joslyn Law Firm,I was surprised and thankful for the fast returned call. Especially since it was after 8 pm. ( Who does that?) (( This guy)). When I meet him, he quickly made me feel better about my situation, while being upfront about no guarantees I still felt confident in his abilities and commitment to the situation at hand. He was diligent and quick with an outcome. ( In my favor I might add.) While my case was probably small in comparison to most, he seemed to take it as serious as I believe he would have any. Much appreciated, and I would highly recomend.

I'd never been in any type of trouble before. First time for everything. Attorney Jeff Linn was extremely patient with my lack of knowledge. I could not have hoped for a better outcome. I would truly recommend him.. He's awesome.

Brian and his team (wife included) went out of their way to walk with me through a very scary case that ended with the resolution they promised me from day one. It was very clearly my first time dealing with something like this, but the staff at Joslyn were extremely patient, helpful, kind, and made sure I understood every step of the process. I could not be more grateful to have chosen this law firm. If you are reading this with the panic and anxiety of whatever you're going through, please let this team help you.

Words cannot express how much our family appreciates Brian Joslyn, April Campbell and the Joslyn Law Firm. It was Google reviews like this one that helped me choose Joslyn Law Firm as my son’s attorney and I am so thankful. Brian is straightforward and honest. Though he truly believed in my son’s innocence, he could not guarantee a jury trial win. Instead his team worked diligently on my son’s behalf, uncovered additional evidence to prove his innocence and showed their commitment to his case in the courtroom. He was found Not Guilty by reason of self defense. I wanted the best attorney in Columbus for my son and that is what we received. If you want honesty, experience, responsiveness and compassion, this is the law firm for you.

Every interaction I had with Joslyn was conducted with courtesy and diligence, from the receptionist who took my initial phone call to my attorney, Ryan Shafer. Unlike the other law firms I spoke with, Ryan's confidence brought me peace-of-mind long before the case was resolved. He listened attentively and I could tell by his resolute defense that he truly believed in my innocence. Thank you, Ryan, for getting my case dismissed. And thank you to the entire staff at Joslyn--you are a fine crew, from top to bottom!

Very disrespectful hung up on me and interrupted me before I could ask a question would not recommend!

I recommend him to anybody is fighting a case

Recently, my child’s father was represented by Joe Scott. I would give this firm no stars if that was an option. Joe Scott signed away the rights of a speedy trial without communicating this to his client. Joe Scott repeatedly messed up names of the victim, defendant, and witnesses. It was like he didn’t know the case. I do not feel as Joe put any effort into making sure his client has a fair chance of being seen as not guilty. Listening as an observer, was horrible. I know the members in the jury were as confused, when he would cross examine. Mind you, this case has been on his desk for a year. He came into court and couldnt start trial due to a schedule conflict. He knew he had trial starting 3 months in advance and still went ahead and made other arrangements, waited until he was in front of the judge to be notify anyone he couldn’t start trial. He contacted the clients bondsman after his client did not respond promptly to his phone call. So the client spent his last free week in the county. Bond revoked due to the lawyer. Not very often you hear this. Last, I will state that’s Joe Scott spent more time in the bathroom with the prosecutor on the first day of trial then any other lawyer I have met. I timed from the moment Joe and prosecutor walked out, watched them go into the bathroom and come out. Joe would turn his back on the client just to speak with anyone else about their kids, dogs, weekend, etc. Joe also signed a waiver to continue the case when the prosecutor wasn’t ready. He did not tell his client this until it was announced in court. He was not interested in this case. He did not get his clients alibi subpoena to court. He just did awful and now his client who had proof that he was not apart of a robbery will sit in prison for the next 10 years. So disappointed with this lawyer, and honestly I would never recommend this firm to anyone. Not even for a civil matter.

Joe has been a great help to me in resolving my case. He got my felony of the second degree dismissed. He did a great job in explaining the process to me and his staff was extremely helpful as well. I am so happy to have him as my attorney.

Steve Nolder was referred by a previous Federal client that described Steve as a good guy who really knows his stuff, an attorney you need for your Federal case. You will find Mr. Nolder has a great reputation and is well respected by his colleagues and associates. Steve takes the time to explain and educate in detailed specifics the laws and guidelines relating to your case. He keeps everyone informed every step of the way and is more than patient with questions. Steve shared immeasurable knowledge and showed our family much compassion. Mr. Nolder and his team assist with all legal issues and concerns in an efficient and professional manner making a very difficult time a little easier. Even if it is not the outcome you are hoping for Steve will get you the best possible outcome for your case. Thanks, Steve!

Peter Binning is my Hero! Peter Binning is an outstanding attorney! He gets 5 Stars! Peter Binning is knowledgeable and prompt and he gets the job done! You will not regret using his services.

If you find yourself in need of an attorney, it can be tough to find one you like and who will also get the job done to your satisfaction. If you are bombarded by mail from law offices within days of an offense and/or google lawyers, you’ll most certainly feel an added sense of shock, confusion, and frustration on top of everything. It is easy to feel overwhelmed when researching lawyers: you have to find and choose just one person out of a mass quantity to (hopefully) help you through and out of a negative situation. Oh, and if you do your research (via Internet and word of mouth), you’ll find Mr. Binning’s fees are reasonable. They are most definitely worth it. A lawyer is a 100% necessary asset if you have any kind of legal issues. This one is a keeper! Thanks and— Namaste.

Mr. Binning Thanks! This was one of the most helpless places I found myself in during my 52 years of living. My son & I both are very grateful for the counsel, recommendations & protection. Thanks to your personal approach, expert level of experience & legal knowledge. You protected my future against a system that has recently found people guilty before due process. I don't leave reviews online because to me, word of mouth is the best marketing. But after my experience with your services, I simply can't reach enough people on my own. Therefore I'll publish to the world how grateful we are to your services. Best wishes to you & your staff! Regards, David L. Matthews Jr.

Retained Peter Binning on Oct 1. He made a plea deal with the prosecuting attorney nearly 60 days later without even meeting with the client! He is a hack and not to be trusted. I am filing a grievance with the Ohio Bar Association to try and get my $4500 retainer back.

I hired Dave Johnson to represent me in an ongoing legal matter. Dave was very quick to respond initially and it never ceased. He answered my calls and was very knowledgeable about the law and where we stood from a legal point. He discussed in detail options on the avenues we could venture and the possible outcomes. He was honest and to the point and what I liked is we didn't have to mince words wasting time. He took a grim situation with some dishonest people and we got the outcome we wanted. Dave is a true legal wizard. I will hire him again without a doubt. He's the only attorney that I have ever said this about and I have dealt with attorneys a lot, both in business and personal life. I would only use Dave Johnson going forward for a variety of legal matters.

Hired David to represent my brother in an ongoing criminal matter. His representation was straight forward, to the point, accurate and achieved a positive outcome in the matter. One of the things I really like about how David conducts himself is how he's looking for the best overall outcome, not just the best legal outcome. I deal with attorneys a lot and have met few who hold this ethical standard. Would hire again no questions asked.

Mr. Johnson is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! He took the time to meet with us and thoroughly explain everything, as well as answer all of our questions. He is a straight shooter and will let you know exactly what he thinks about your situation and what he believes is the best possible avenue to explore. He got our case dismissed and rather quickly considering the pandemic. I very highly recommend him to anyone in need of professional counsel!

Recently have had an experience with David Johnson law LLC. Mr. Johnson was very professional, detailed in the knowledge of my case, was compassionate towards my needs, very quick to respond to emails and messages of concern. Was nice to actually have someone to speak to about legal issues that was really down-to-earth and explains things in a manner to which could be understood. I would like to thank mr. Johnson for all he has done for myself. Will and have recommended to friends

I was charged with an F3 in Delaware County and plead not guilty at the arraignment they came at me with no deal at pretrial which was a shock so from that point we proceeded with trial and throughout the two-day length of the trial the jury came back and returned a not-guilty verdict which obviously made my day. Mr. Johnson done a wonderful job and I would recommend him for any case rather it is a low profile or a much more serious charge. Now I'm able to go back home with my one year old son and celebrate his birthday and what a celebration it is to have been represented by an Attorney who knows what he's doing and is reliable as you can get when it comes to representation and brilliance in the courtroom. Thank you!

Now I'm able to go back home with my one year old son and celebrate his birthday and what a celebration it is to have been represented by an Attorney who knows what he's doing and is reliable as you can get when it comes to representation and brilliance in the courtroom. Thank you!

Joe was awesome! He definitely knows what he is doing. He is professional, responsive and extremely helpful. I had a family member that was in a bind and Joe didn't hesitate. He jumped right on the multiple legal matters and did a great job. Thanks Joe!

I've known Attorney Joe Edwards on a professional level for about 5 years. His professional demeanor is exceptional. Joe's knowledge of the law is a tremendous asset when working with him. His relationships and knowledge of the courts in which he represents clients in is a definite benefit for them. Joe is a straight shooter when it comes to the facts. I would highly recommend Attorney Joe Edwards.

For me the most important thing when going into a case is feeling comfortable and confident with your representation. Joe Edwards was always there when needed, any day just one call away. I got his number recommended from a different attorney, called and left and short message , and he called me back within 5 minutes. Always quick to respond to messages and takes his time to answer any and all questions that you may have regarding your case. He is willing to go above and beyond for you while keeping you in the loop of what is going on . There is no surprises, he is a man of his word with high integrity and professionalism. I appreciate all that he did for my case I wish I could give 10 stars . If in need , call Joe .

Joe Edwards is such an outstanding and exceptional lawyer. He understands the law very well and tells you the things upfront. I called him to help my friend out who was going through legal troubles.

I was facing my first misdemeanor charge for paraphernalia (in one of the strictest counties in Ohio) and Adam Burke exceeded all of my expectations. I was able to get my charge dismissed and it was all thanks to Adam’s willingness to go above and beyond to help me. I could tell that he truly cared about my case and was motivated just as I was to take it all the way to trial and make the strongest arguments possible on my behalf. Adam’s communication was always exceptional and he’s the kind of lawyer who is truly dedicated to everyone he works with. Thank you again Adam and your team for everything!

My Family has had the opportunity to use SEVERAL Attorneys, I Have Yet to Meet or Work with ANY ATTORNEY WITH AS MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE HUMAN RACE, GOD'S CHILDREN!

YOU WILL NO BE DISAPPOINTED FOR CHOOSING MR ADAM G. BURKE! I AM NOT BEING PAID, I DONT WORK FOR ADAM, THIS IS 100% HONEST AND ACCURATE!

This was a stress free place to go too he’d handled everything with only phone calls and emails. I had no issues of getting in contact with him all above 5 stars. I recommended two other people I know to him as well. I highly recommend him prices were affordable and the process with really simple and easy he also stayed up too date on changes for court dates as well.

I hired Mr. Riddell after receiving a ticket in Columbus a few weeks ago. I am very pleased with the service he provided. He takes care of everything associated with your ticket for a very reasonable flat fee. I live about three hours from Columbus so the fee was actually cheaper than travelling and missing work. If you ever have any traffic related legal problems in Columbus Mr Riddell is the man to call. You will not regret it.

Mr. Riddell was very knowledgeable and very specific in detail when discussing my case with me. His advice and recommendations were spot on for my case and the outcome was exactly as he said it would be. If you are looking for an attorney in the Delaware area be sure to reach out to him.

I called Mr. Riddell for help in my immediate need, left message with his assistance and he called me right back immediately within 5 minutes. Told him my situation, gave him all the information he needed, and he took care of everything from that point. Thank you so much Mr. Riddell for your professional services.

I received a Hazmat violation in Columbus on I-71. Googled, Hazmat Attorneys in Ohio and Attorney Riddell came highly recommended. This was my first offense and i was very nervous about how this may turn out and he assured me that all would be ok. He was very knowledgeable about the law and very understanding about truckers as if he has placed himself in our shoes with certain aspects of the law. He walked me through what actions we were going to take going forward with the case. Told me his goal and what he was seeking to achieve. And he did just what he said. No points against my CDL. Nothing on my record. I paid a small fine and im able to breathe again. I highly recommend Attorney Riddell!!

If you ever need legal representation Terry Sherman should be your first and only choice! He’s the best at what he does! I highly recommend!!

Terry is truly a miracle worker. He was professional, proactive and honestly cares for his clients. I found Terry after being unsatisfied with my original counsel and I could not have asked for a better outcome with my case. If I could give him 10 stars I would. I can’t thank him enough and would recommend him to anyone seeking a criminal attorney!

This mans a Protagonist to say the least, Confident and Respectable. He’ll make sure you get what you need

Best attorney I’ve ever met! Very honest, experienced and professional.

He is one to take with a grain of salt, but I say that with a ton of endearment. Because of Terry’s guidance, knowledge and longevity within the system, he helped me completely turn my life around. I have told this to Terry himself, but I can’t thank him enough and am so grateful to have had him in my corner throughout one of the toughest times in my life. And now, that life that I thought was coming to an end has completely turned around... And it’s all thanks to Terry.
