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!

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. He answered my questions and went above and beyond to help my friend out before we were able to hire him. He tries his very best to help you out and is a very hard-working guy. I recommend anyone who needs legal help to consider hiring Joe Edwards as he is very knowledgeable and will fight for you.

He is a great lawyer! He knows his stuff and he isnt scared to fight for you! Go check him out

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!

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!!!

Zach helped me out so much great lawyer would highly recommend him

I would 100% recommend Zach to a friend and family. We were so concerned over my daughter facing some serious driving offense and Zach put our mind at ease from day one. His cost was worth every penny he went above and beyond. He was very responsive by phone and text he also showed great understanding and empathy. He was professional in court for my daughters case and we were pleased with the outcome. If your thinking about hiring Zach don't hesitate you won't regret the decision. Happy we found him!

Was very helpful with a great attitude

Zach Merenda is the best criminal defense lawyer in Ohio,I highly recommend contacting him!!

    I would 100% recommend Zach to a friend and family. We were so concerned over my daughter facing some serious driving offense and Zach put our mind at ease from day one. His cost was worth every penny he went above and beyond. He was very responsive by phone and text he also showed great understanding and empathy. He was professional in court for my daughters case and we were pleased with the outcome. If your thinking about hiring Zach don't hesitate you won't regret the decision. Happy we found him!

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!

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.

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.
