Mr. Wolfe has been kind, professional, and very supportive in my son's case. I would highly recommend his services to friends or family, should they ever have need.

Has helped any way shape or form they could. Very responsive when called. Been the best experience I've ever had dealing with a law firm. I would highly recommend him.

I cannot say enough good things about Mr Wolfe. I had been dealing with a probation term that was supposed to be finished after 1 year, I ended up serving right around 4 years out of five, with absolutely no issues, no failed drug tests or any violations, as well as flying back and forth between Massachusetts and Ohio MULTIPLE times to go to court and deal with the overcrowded system in Ohio that treats everyone subhuman. He agreed to take my case to clear an unfair warrant due to covid and an unruly probation officer who did not even give me a chance to reschedule before filing a warrant for my arrest. Mr Wolfe took my case, got a hearing in front of the judge the next day and within about 45 min of showing up at the courthouse I was walking out a free man after four years of waiting. THANK YOU!! I cannot recommend him enough! He is gracious, understanding, diligent, quick and charged me HALF of what I would have paid at every other law firm I contacted (if not more than 2x like a few quoted me). I absolutely will be recommending this firm to everyone I know whenever they need legal advice or counsel, we'll worth every penny. Thanks again, and if your on the edge about calling, do it!

Great service, I highly recommend anyone who's seeking legal counsel to give them a try.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR GAMBLE WITH YOUR LIFE. He is a horrible lawyer with no clue on what hes doing. A first year law student could have gotten my case dismissed, and he constantly had no clue what to do. Once I finally switched lawyers, my case did get dismissed thank god. He is horribly unprofessional, and treated me as if he had better things to do. I pray for people that are facing serious jail time with him as a lawyer, as he had no idea how to handle my case correctly, and it was just a minor obstructing case. His secretary is an absolute sweetheart though, and she is the only nice thing I have to say about that place.

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.

Colin was very kind, and easy to work with! He was a professional in every way, and was able to resolve my husband's speeding ticket with 0 points on his driver's license. Thank you Colin!

Colin represented me on charges that I was facing which could have cost me $1000 in fines, possible 30 day jail time, and license suspension. He took time to listen and asked thoughtful questions about my story. I talked to over 10 lawyers to try and find the right one to represent me and I am really happy that I chose Colin. He was able to get charges dropped and the fine down to $50 plus court costs ($200 ish). Colin's representation fee was also very fair and on the lower end compared to a lot of the other lawyers that I had previously spoken to. I was able to reach him at any time via text, calling him, and via email. He is very responsive and it was a pleasure having him represent me. I hope to not require these services in the future, however if I ever would need them again, my number 1 choice would be Colin.

The Maher Law Firm has represented me on two occasions regarding a complex driver license restoration issue. The results I have received on both occasions were beyond my expectations. Colin is a true professional that gets results for his clients. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

No one likes getting a ticket for a traffic violation, but it makes it less stressful when you have a competent lawyer handling your case. The Maher Law Firm Surpasses competent. I was relieved to talk directly with Colin when i called in, who is very well informed and gives you a realistic idea of what he can do for you. The best part is that once i accepted their rate, i could relax with the confidence that my Lawyer would take care of the rest. Have come from an experience, where i had a lawyer tell me he would show up to court and didn't i can attest that this law firm is reliable, competent and trustworthy. Thanks for your Help Colin

Hands Down the Best Attorney I’ve worked with thus far. Extremely Professional. Understanding and Passionate about his service to his client. I recommend anyone who is having any issues reach out he can help you!! Thanks again!! I know every case is different but I couldn’t ask for better results.. Worth every cent!!!

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!

Mr. John has good knowledge and professionalism in his work, provides customer security and personalized attention at all times regardless of the schedule, when I say this, I mean communication directly with him without any secretaries or intermediary staff. Thank you very much.

John was helpful and completely took care of my situation regarding minor infractions. As a out of state resident I was unable to return to Ohio for court. John made it so I didn’t have to return to Ohio and let me handle everything over the phone and over email. He contacted me quick and answered my calls no matter the time of the call.

Called this morning for a consultation, and was rushed off the phone, told to call the lawyer who represented before, and hung up on. He showed absolutely no willingness to help. I felt judged and If he had listened he would’ve known there was no lawyer, only public defender. We are looking for a paid lawyer. But the next lawyer I consulted with was very professional so obviously it was meant for him to represent us.

John is a very serious man who will definitely stick up for his clients. John took great care of me and made sure that I was to stay home with my family. I would recommend him to anyone who needs great defense. Thank you, John.

I am currently out of state. Attorney Rutan handled everything. I just received confirmation via mail that everything is done. Very satisfied. Highly recommend.

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!!

    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.

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!

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.

RMB is a fantastic team both personally and professionally. I appreciate George and his paralegal Donyel working with me every step of the way, keeping me updated and getting me my settlement for my claim. I couldn't ask for better care than what I received working with RMB.

I was in a bad wreck a year ago and the entire team at RMB went above and beyond to see that my personal injury case was handled. George and his paralegals were responsive to my every question and ensured that I was kept in the loop every step of the way. I would highly recommend RMB to all of my friends and family.

I was involved in a hit-and-run accident, ended up going after my own insurance company. RMB helped me settle, getting the compensation I deserved. I heard with some other firms, the client ends up doing all of the heavy lifting - not my experience at all. Sean and team were very professional, responsive. Highly recommend RMB.

This was my first experience working with an attorney, the result of a fall. Our first meeting was in my home. They were upfront about the process and what I should expect. RMB exceeded my expectations. They were in constant communication, keeping me informed as discussions moved forward. The results were very positive and I would highly recommend them.

George breitmeyer was absolutely amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with him representing me. He was very good with explaining everything and all the steps in the process of litigation. I strongly urge you to use them. You will not be sorry.
