Doesn't matter how important your case or the timeline. You can wait two months for them to never contact you, despite contacting them multiple times, and lose your court case, or you can go elsewhere. There's nice reviews from years ago. Apparently they fell off.

Kelly Morgan is a very rare Attorney. He is kind, patient, a great listener, easy to communicate with, responsive and solution oriented. I reached out to Attorney Morgan after a business deal had gone awry, in search of a legal expert that could help my company. In my mind, help meant, “let’s go to court.” Attorney Morgan, however, with his calm and level-headed demeanor, talked me off the ledge with a suggestion to meet with the opposing party because of the relationship he and I have. The result of which positioned my friend and I to finish our deal and remain friends. All thanks to Attorney Morgan. Thank you, Kelly!

Amy was a consummate professional in her representation of me in my divorce.

I was referred to Ron Petroff's Law Offices through the OSU Employee Assistance Program and was fortunate to work with Attorney Jefferson Yates. From the start, Jefferson demonstrated a remarkable balance of professionalism, empathy, and eloquence in handling my case. He was highly responsive to emails and even impromptu phone calls, negotiating on my behalf with both strength and fairness.
The process of terminating my marriage was challenging, compounded by professional complications due to my ex-spouse working in the same school. Jefferson quickly assessed the situation, offering balanced and realistic advice that helped me navigate this difficult period. Additionally, Kellee and Chae were instrumental in keeping me informed and updated throughout the process.
This law firm stands out as one of the best in central Ohio, offering exceptional service at a very reasonable price. I wholeheartedly recommend Petroff Law Offices and Jefferson Yates to anyone in need of a domestic relations attorney. While ending my marriage was devastating, I am deeply grateful to have had the support of such committed and empathetic counsel during this life-changing time.

Late last summer I hired attorney Jefferson Yates for represent me in court for a domestic relations case. I would recommend this man to anyone seeking legal representation. Jefferson presented himself eloquently and professionally in court. He is timely when responding to emails and returning phonecalls. When scheduling and conducting phone calls, he was well organized, and we were able to discuss what we needed to and it kept costs low. He communicates effectively by being reasonable and realistic when offering advice. And he was very kind to me during a difficult moment in my life. Jefferson, thank you again!

My wife and I sought Petroff and Associates for assistance in fighting a frivolous child protective service investigation.

I can't say enough good things about Attorney Doug Dougherty and his firm. No one ever plans to go through a divorce, and most of us have no clue what we are truly getting into. Doug became my trusted advisor very quickly, giving me honest advice and all the information I needed to make decisions. He always had my children's best interests in mind too, which was the reason he was referred to me in the first place. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Peter Binning is a great defense attorney and an even better man, he was able to help me articulate my thoughts and get the job done with my court case. I recommend anyone who needs a defense attorney to Peter, he is someone who is easy to talk to and is all around; a down to earth guy.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL lawyer, and just a great guy. I had a NIGHTMARE of an OVI case, and I really thought the world was going to fall around me. Mr Binning showed he cared, and it was probably normal for him but I felt he went above and beyond. No question went unanswered, and he really related to me on a personal level. A lot of lawyers I have known seem to give that impression that their clients are a burden or an obligation, and Mr Binning made me feel like I had a friend helping me. If anyone asks me for the best lawyer in the city, Peter Binning is going to be at the top of my list

Peter Binning is top notch. He really made sure I knew what was going on, and any time I had a question he was very quick to answer or reply.
I had a scary situation, and he eased my mind all the way and really helped me not get buried by the courts and the cops. He really went to bat for me, and I would have a much darker situation had I made another choice. Thank you Mr Binning for your diligence and hard work on my behalf!

Excellent council. My defense attorney (Jeff Stavroff) was able to perform with the utmost diligence, professionalism, and knowledge to defend and assist me profoundly with my case. I am extremely grateful for his work on my behalf and would recommend him to anyone, excluding my enemies of course. I will religiously be coming back to this firm for any future conflicts that may arise for my legal defenses. Thank you again Jeff!

The poor decision of driving intoxicated and getting a DUI can ruin your emotional and financial future. Wes Freeman is an outstanding defense attorney. He represented us and we achieved the best outcome for a horrible mistake.
Wes is knowledgeable on all Ohio Law statutes and handles the court appearance with pure professionalism.
I recommend Wes Freeman to anyone who needs help getting their life back in order legally. You can move forward instead of remaining in a recycling nightmare of the court and jail system. It’s good to get honest information for you and your family’s future. Thanks Wes

Chelsea. Thank you for all your hard work and professionalism handling my OVI case. This was one of the worst time in my life. At my age of 65, I was ashamed and embarrassed that this has happened to me. Chelsea, you took my case and walked through every step in detail. Good and bad. You never judged me. You assured me that you will fight for me every step of the way. And you did. I was guilty but you were abled to get me a plea way better than I was expecting.
Thank you Chelsea! I appreciate what you did for me. You were always accessible to communicate, even when you were on vacation. I would recommend you to anyone seeking help.
I appreciate You.

They are so unprofessional they didn't even get a hold of my Witness. We had to track the Witness down ourselves. They closed our case before we found the witness. They're so unprofessional I wouldn't recommend them to nobody. Also, they never return calls. Don't waste your time with these attorneys. My daughter was also in the car. She had a different attorney and they are negotiating her pay right now as were speaking.

Sally was an absolutely amazing lawyer from start to finish. She was very knowledgeable, thorough and went to bat for me!! I came to her scared and unraveling about the case. Not one time did she make me feel as if I was a nuisance or overwhelming!! I appreciated her advocacy for me and her determination to make sure things worked out in fair just manner!! I would recommend her a million times over!! Her staff is just as great and welcoming. Just a great experience all around with Sally!!

I had the pleasure of working with Rhiannon Herbert at Mansell Law, and I can't speak highly enough of her. From the start, her communication was exceptional, making sure I understood every step of the process.

Her professionalism and dedication were evident throughout, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney.

I sincerely hope no one has to seek a lawyer for their small child, but if you do Drew and his staff are the absolute best. They are compassionate, thorough and amazing! They are efficient and ready for any task, always getting things done on time and questions answered, with nothing left undone. I cannot thank everyone enough for their kindness and 5 star professionalism. I never had to worry about a thing. My daughter was completely taken care of with this law firm. Undeniably the best in this business. We will forever be grateful to you.

Over the years I've needed to employ the services of attorneys several times. I can't say that any of my former attorneys gave me poor representation, but I can honestly say none of them compare to the professional, honest & thorough representation I received from The Baker Law Group. I was highly concerned about receiving a negative outcome in my case. Drew assured me that he & his team would do everything in their power to ensure I would be granted the best possible outcome & they did just that.
Drew has an amazing track record that speaks for itself. He is highly regarded in the law community, in the court system & in the city in general. After meeting him & having him on your side, you'll understand why. I believe the best quality about Drew is that he cares about getting you the best outcome, but also truly cares about you, as a person, & getting you the help you need to ensure you're in a better position going forward in life. Many people have negative ideas regarding attorneys, myself included. Drew is the type of attorney & person who changes that narrative.
I highly recommend Drew & The Baker Law Group for all your representation needs. If you want the best, look no further.

If you have a federal case in the Southern District of Ohio then this is your guy. Over the course of 4-5 years I grew to one of the largest Darknet LSD distributors in the country and when I was caught the feds came down hard. Our house was raided, many valuable assets seized, and several agencies were involved. They didn’t arrest me that day but I knew at some point I’d have to go to prison for what I did so the real question quickly became, how long?
I live in Maryland but the charges where out of Columbus, OH. So we looked on Avvo for a federal attorney out of southern Ohio and found Mr. Nolder. We called him for a consultation shortly after the raid and he pretty much laid out exactly how everything was going to play out. Once we hired him all the calls/texts from the Feds got re-routed through him.
He had more experience then any other attorney I talked to and seemed super knowledgeable regarding big federal drug cases out of Southern Ohio. So we hired him the following week. Federal cases can get extremely expensive and before I talked to him I almost went with a public defender but we thought with such a serious matter it would be best to hire a private attorney. If you can afford it I would definitely recommend going the private attorney route.
His rates are really fair, there actually better then most federal attorneys in that area and he’s been an federal attorney in that area for something like 35 years.
He’s a straight shooter and super thorough, like super super thorough. The day he gets a notice or update on your case he calls/emails you and walks you through it. He makes sure you understand exactly what’s he’s filing and everything else you need to know.
The target letter I got after the raid said the feds were looking at charging me with distribution of LSD, distribution of LSD to persons under 21, tax evasion, and money laundering and there was also possibility of other charges stacking up. The feds were also threatening my fiancée, who had no knowledge of my wrongdoings. After some back and forth Mr. Nolder worked out a plea deal where I would plea guilty to Conspiracy to Distribute LSD and Money Laundering. He talked to the US Attorney and made it to where my fiancée was not charged.
Before all the wheeling and dealing, departures, and point reductions, the feds where looking for something absurd, like 150-165 months.
At sentencing the prosecutor was asking for at least 96 months but during the sentencing Mr. Nolder was able to successfully motion for downward departures so between that and other agreements that got worked into my plea deal, I was ultimately sentenced to 90 months.
That sentence sounds worse then it really is though because Mr. Nolder made sure I was recommended by the Judge and on my PSR for RDAP (drug program) in prison which gets you a year off your sentence. He also made sure the charges that I plead guilty to qualified for the new FSA credits while I’m incarcerated. Those FSA credits are great and they really whack off a bunch of time. Since I didn’t get arrested the day of the raid he also made sure the judge recommended me for self surrender to prison and made sure the judge recommended to a minimum security camp. So I’ll end up serving my time in a camp instead of a prison. The difference is a very low staff to inmate ratio, freedom of movement inside the facility, and little to no fences. Overall he made the whole experience as comfortable as possible given the circumstances.
After it is all said and done, between RDAP, FSA Credits, Statutory Good Time, and release to halfway house/home confinement. I’ll serve something like 3 years 2 months to 3 years 6 months in the federal camp before getting released to a halfway house/home confinement. That’s a whole heck of a lot better then where we started (150+ months).
Overall he’s a fantastic attorney, with reasonable rates, and we had a great experience with him. Thanks for everything!

I originally contacted Mr. Nolder last year after being arrested as part of a very large conspiracy to traffic charge originating in the U.S. Southern District of Ohio. He was one of perhaps 8-10 attorneys I spoke with for an initial consult.
I ended up selecting him based on not only research into the various attorneys I consulted with (he has one of the best records over the longest periods of time in his location and area of expertise), but also based on his personality, which I found to be no-nonsense, straightforward, and knowledgeable. Price was also a consideration, and he represented me for slightly less than 1/3 the cost of the most expensive quotes I received, which I found astonishing, given his reputation and obvious legal acumen. In my experience, it is extremely rare to find legal representation that combines top-tier effectiveness without being accompanied by an exorbitant price tag, but that is exactly what I found in Mr. Nolder.
Mr. Nolder always had time for me when requested, he responds promptly to both telephone and email inquiries, frequently on the same day, and never any later than the next day after my reaching out to him.
He answered any and all questions I had about my proceedings, including many I would not have thought to ask on my own, this being my first contact with the Federal law enforcement apparatus.
He developed and executed an aggressive plan to negotiate with the government to bring down my offense level, and made sure I understood each and every proceeding and motion in my case. He also assisted me with Zoom calls in which he would clearly explain what was going to occur in each phase of my case, and also assisted me in role-playing when necessary before each of my contacts with authorities to make sure that I was able to properly focus on articulating the points which would be most effective in promoting my own defense, including providing advice that was specific to the judge who ultimately oversaw my case.
Ultimately, I received a sentence of time served (which was only a few days, served at the time of my initial arrest), 6 months home confinement, and 3 years probation on a charge that could easily have seen me serving 3-5+ years in a Federal prison.
I could not be happier with the result of my case, or the quality of representation provided by Mr. Nolder, and I wholeheartedly endorse his services to anyone in need of aggressive, competent, and effective criminal defense representation anywhere in Ohio.

I found myself in a major rough patch with drugs and alcohol which led to me being charged with a felony drug charge. Steve was recommended to me through a friend and he immediately saw me the same day to hear my story. Throughout the process he explained things in a way that myself and family could understand. He did not sugar coat anything or give false hopes, but rather explain what was happening and how was going to help.
He immediately had a plan and kept me in the loop the entire time. He made sure I was aware of everything that was happening and was always willing to meet with me or talk on the phone as soon as possible.
When it came to my sentencing I was nervous beyond belief, but the second he stood up in court and started talking he was precise, deliberate, and knowledgeable. He brought home every point he wanted to make and everyone actually listened.
I avoided going to prison and received house arrest and probation but only because of Steve. If I had any other lawyer I would be rotting away in prison and not able to help change my life for the better. I am forever indebted to Steve and will always recommend him as the best attorney in the state.

After I was suspended from my college for what I believed to be inappropriate reasons, Mark and Jessica helped me successfully navigate the process of reentry to school. They assisted me in crafting a superb appeal letter to my suspension, communicated with the school's legal counsel when necessary, and advised me on my communications. Throughout the process they maintained a thoughtful balance of advocating for my needs and maintaining an amicable relationship with the school. I am now back in school and able to complete courses that I missed during my suspension - a feat that I don't think I would have been capable of achieving without their expert assistance.

Mark and his team helped me to get reinstated back to a tenure track full-time position. I had some serious issues--including breach of an accepted, written contract, discrimination, and retaliation. Mark drafted legal documents, negotiated, and advocated on my behalf, and I was made completely whole. If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated or treated unfairly due to discrimination, this is the firm to contact. I cannot say enough about their professionalism, skills, and ability to get a just resolution. Mark was also available and very responsive, collaborative, and tracked billable hours masterly showing he cares about a client's time and money.

I have used Mr. Herders services previously to file a bankruptcy and my case was handled professionally. Recently I had to contact them for some information on my old case and he was very helpful and provided the information I needed quickly. The issue involved a mortgage that was thankfully removed 10 years ago. He looked up the records and his office did the job perfect. He remembered me and actually answered the phone too. He has the same high energy in the past. Does he ever sleep? He also explained that I could not accomplish the result now. I timed the bankruptcy just right. Thank you Mr. Herder for all of your help. I recommend the law office to anyone looking to file a bankruptcy!

Mark Herder filed my bankruptcy case and made a bad situation turn into a positive one. He and his staff took care of all the money troubles that I had from bad decisions from a bad divorce. I really felt like he was in my corner, and he even called me back tonight, after work, on a weekend. I am sure that he had plenty of other things to do during this pandemic as well. I am glad I followed his advice and instructions from the first time I contacted him several years ago. The car is saved and I have taken real good care of it too. My bankruptcy case will finish in 15 months and I have made all of the payments, just like he sugested. I will freely own my car at the end of the case, with no debts. Have a nice weekend Attorney Herder!

I have never considered myself to be ignorant of the law. But that was exactly the situation that I was in when I had a knock on my front door at 6 AM. On the other side of that door I found 6 FBI Agents in bullet proof vests carrying automatic weapons, and one local police officer dressed in swat gear. I was being arrested for a part time hourly position that I held. In my position I could see some Income Tax dealings that were obviously wrong. I sent the billing out, collected the money and sent letters of receipt as I was instructed by the owner. I was in the lowest point in my life at 70 years old. I was in California and the charges were in Boston. Finding a lawyer was my first priority, and again had no experience in this effort. My daughter is a lawyer and she immediately began a search for an attorney that could represent me in Federal Court, had White Collar crime experience and was available. She found Dave Thomas in Columbus Ohio. The two of them had a brief phone call and she was convinced he was the right guy for the job. A week later I met Dave in Boston. I was still in a state of confusion and denial. My first meeting with Dave was a blur as this event was still so fresh. He explained the charges to me and laid out a path that involved a guilty plea and three years of working with the prosecutors. At no time during my relationship with Dave, did I ever feel that I wasn't receiving the best possible care for the situation I was in.
Dave and I met via phone, email and face to face several times. Each time I gained confidence and easily put my trust in Dave's hands. I learned about self denial via Dave's counsel and prep for the events that laid ahead.
It has been more than four years since my arrest. If it had not been for Dave, my wife, my family and friends I would have never made it through this process. I whole heartedly recommend Dave Thomas and his brilliant assistant Katie Walrubenstein for your needs.

I have known Dave since I was a law clerk (more years ago than I’d care to count). To this day he is who I go to and refer people to for any question involving defending a criminal allegation, especially white collar criminal defense. He is experienced, respected throughout the Ohio and federal court systems, zealous, and defends every case he has expertly. Moreover, he truly embodies client-centered defense. He goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients understand the charges they are facing, the potential consequences (both direct and collateral), and takes as much time as is needed to address his clients’ needs, and concerns. I always know when I refer someone to Dave, they will have the best possible outcome for whatever they are facing.

I am a physician. When I found myself the subject of a healthcare fraud investigation, my personal attorney told me Dave Thomas is the lawyer you want for this, and he was right. Dave's expertise in the field and his knowledge of and experience in the labyrinthine world of fraud investigation proved invaluable. And the care and attention he gave me personally helped me maintain my equanimity during a very trying time. He always returned my calls quickly, addressed all my concerns, and answered my questions promptly and professionally. He gained my trust immediately. Knowing I was in expert hands, I followed his advice, and the case was settled to our satisfaction. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Told me what I wanted to hear to defend my case then when he showed up to court for me after I paid him a $500 deductible all he did was get my court extended and after I told him I had all the evidence to prove my innocence he just wanted me to plead down and then he dropped me as a client after he took my $500 I would never recommend this man to another person because he will not get you out of jail he will just plead you down

I had the pleasure of working with Rhiannon Herbert at Mansell Law, and I can't speak highly enough of her. From the start, her communication was exceptional, making sure I understood every step of the process. She guided me through a difficult time when I felt completely lost and helped me reach an agreement. Her professionalism and dedication were evident throughout, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney.

I’m a New York Father. I rarely make reviews on anything and frankly I was not in a mental place to do so but I believe I’m in a better place to let this out now. So, back in 2023 my daughter was kidnapped by her Mother. I didn’t see my daughter for months and at least spoke to 10 detectives in New York to get someone to take my case seriously. I eventually got a warrant for her arrest but all based in New York, it didn’t matter with Ohio law. Once I found out my child was in Ohio and realized I needed a lawyer I reach out to Mr. Friedman. I called about 5 offices prior all closed but he was the only one still working late and answered the phone. He not only recognized the dire of my situation but was a great friend and professionally experienced lawyer. While in the court area he even unexpectedly bought me a meal as we waited. Long story short, I got my little girl back and Mr. Friedman was an angel in disguise for this period in my life. I don’t think anyone else could’ve done it better. He was supportive, responsive, educated, well connected, and followed through on the tasks at hand. This is one of those lawyers that you will never forget working hard for you in your lifetime, I know I won’t. I highly recommend his services and hope the best in your case with him. God bless.

Athena offers her services for a very competitive (and reasonable) rate, but she makes you feel like a million dollar account from start to finish. I came to her with a slightly unorthodox financial situation, and she leveraged her experience and knowledge to bring me safely to the best possible outcome, and did it with a surplus of warmth and compassion. I've worked with many attorneys throughout my adventures and mishaps, and Athena was hands down the most lovely law-related experience I've ever had.

They are so unprofessional they didn't even get a hold of my Witness. We had to track the Witness down ourselves. They closed our case before we found the witness. They're so unprofessional I wouldn't recommend them to nobody. Also, they never return calls. Don't waste your time with these attorneys. My daughter was also in the car. She had a different attorney and they are negotiating her pay right now as were speaking.

Sally was an absolutely amazing lawyer from start to finish. She was very knowledgeable, thorough and went to bat for me!! I came to her scared and unraveling about the case. Not one time did she make me feel as if I was a nuisance or overwhelming!! I appreciated her advocacy for me and her determination to make sure things worked out in fair just manner!! I would recommend her a million times over!! Her staff is just as great and welcoming. Just a great experience all around with Sally!!

Attorney Joshua Hall comes off aggressive, but in reality he doesn't like to do paperwork. Josh refuses to file motions in the best interest of his clients and creates excuses. If you need a diligent attorney to file motions and argue on paper, Joshua Hall is NOT the attorney to go with. He tries to push his clients into plea deals and fails to communicate timely. Save your money.
