My experience with the Penton Law Center has been very positive. My initial meeting with the firm was informative and not "pushy" at all. Christy takes a personal approach in all of her dealings regarding the sensitive topic of estate planning. She always responds quickly to my questions.

My experience with Mrs. Christy was nothing short of amazing. She was able to resolve my legal issues in no time. She is also a resource for multiple things.

Excellent lawyer! Hired for a debt collection that went way better than I could've imagined. Hired again for other legal help and has been an overall wonderful experience. I even contact her with non-related legal questions and she immediately gets back to me with answers. I found my lawyer for life! Thank you Christy!

I find John Fisher to be extremely knowledgeable in the personal injury and medical malpractice areas of the law. I am impressed by how knowledgeable he is in the areas that he practices. I would highly recommend him, without any reservation, for his competency, professionalism, and the way he relates to individuals.

John helped coordinate payments of major medical bills (from an auto accident with an uninsured motorist who was 'at fault'). John had a good working repore with those involved as he dealt directly with the hospital, our own car insurance company and our health insurance companies. He followed up on each bill as they got 'bounced' around and pursued their proper payment to ensure our credit remained clean. We are thankful for his expertise and how he kept us informed each step of the way.

I hired John Fisher for two different cases, one of which went to a 3 day jury trial against a local doctor. John did a excellent job representing my case against this Physician & his Attorneys. We won that case hands down. My 2nd case was a auto accident that I was injured by no fault of my own. John did a awesome job getting me what I deserved without going to court. I can't thank John enough on how he represented me.

With all the crap my insurance company put me through Scott got me what I needed. Other driver had no insurance so my company needed to pay. That's what I paid then uninsured coverage for. Scott had to fight them all the way. They acted like it was my fault this jerk came across the center line and hit me.
Thanks Scott for opening up that can of woopass!

Following a catastrophic auto accident I retained Scott Mullins to represent me in a complicated case wherein I sued my insurance carrier. We met strong opposition from the opposing parties but because of Scott's outstanding skills and knowledge of the law we prevailed and were highly successful.

Mr. Mullins was always well prepared and took the time to understand my case thoroughly. He also explained my options clearly and was always in communication with my hospital/providers to lower my bills as to create a large return for pain/inconvenience. Customer service skills are unsurpassed with Mr. Mullins. I could alsways get in touch with him when I called his office and the fact that he has multiple offices he can meet clients is a huge benefit when coordinating meeting times with clients who do not work/live close to Cincinnati! Highly recommended!

I retained Paul Walker, Esq after the previous attorneys at a large Manhattan-based firm that I had retained for an OPMC matter were pressuring me to sign an agreement that was internally inconsistent and contradictory. Upon meeting Paul, I knew immediately that I should have hired him from the beginning. He was extraordinarily knowledgeable, articulate, diplomatic, and empathetic. However, his greatest strength was his honesty. He listened to all of my concerns and he told me my options truthfully and explained every possibility to me so that I could truly make an informed decision as to how to proceed. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am to him for his advice and advocacy of my case. He achieved a result that my prior attorneys told me was impossible and for that, I will be eternally indebted to him. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul for any state medical board issue as he is truly unparalleled in his field.

Attorney Gordon represented my husband and I in an auto accident claim. He is an excellent attorney that helped us get through a difficult time. He was always available via phone and responded to our questions and concerns promptly. He really knows his stuff and helped us get the best settlement we could get. Above all, attorney Gordon is a great attorney who genuinely cares for his clients. If we are every in the need for an attorney in the future, we will definitely contact Attorney Clarence Thomas Gordon, II.
Thank you for a job well done!

I used Mr. Sacks as an attorney for a what turned out to be a fairly complicated car crash case (involving facebook). He was very responsive, and always kept me up to date - he was a pleasure to deal with. The case made it to court where he was in total control of the courtroom, and most importantly was very successful.
I've seen his track-record and I think that was enough to convince me of his capability, and first-hand experience solidified my belief in him as a great attorney.

I hired Shanda Adams for a modification of custody recently. I have had some bad experience in the past with lawyers and Shanda and her team have really impressed me! Not only have they worked with me on payments but also anytime I call, I get her or a law clerk on the phone or I leave a message and someone calls me back the same day! The work that has been done so far on my case is amazing and far exceeds my expectations and from what has been previously done. I am very happy that I have choosen the Rick Dane Moore & Associates to handle my case and wish I would have found them sooner.

I have gone to Attorney Martinous for several different legal matters. He is courteous and professional, easy to talk to, and accessible when I needed to speak with him. He promptly returns phone calls.
Martinous Law is quite a beautiful building, inside and out. But what I really appreciate is the convenient onsite parking and accessibility for all his clients. The firm is only a few minutes away from my home.
I have referred, and will continue to refer, all of my family and friends to his firm and all have been very satisfied with his firm and staff members. I would not hesitate to return to Attorney Martinous in the future, should I need legal services. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for legal services.

Cory was retained by my company at the time as a result of a buyers agent not properly informing his client of the condition of the property she was purchasing. Cory navigated us through a two year legal battle with these folks that ended most triumphantly in our favor. The communication with Cory and his paralegal, Patty, was almost instantaneous and incredibly informative at all times. We were very pleased with all aspects of the process and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal consult!

I hired McKay back in 2012 for an auto accident that totaled my car. The lady was 16 & she had no license. McKay took charge of everything and my car was reimbursed to me for cash value. He also had a settlement for all of my pain and suffering and medical bills. He also wrote a Cease & Desist letter to a company who was subrogating me. (Fraudulently)
Fast fwd: I was involved in a hit and run 2 days ago. I have the man's license plate and the LV Detectives are looking for this person. He had no insurance and no license. I'm hiring McKay for my pain and suffering and also to have my cars back bumper removed and fixed. Also, I need to reimburse the insurance for my emergency room visit for testing and constant pain after this man hit me.
I definitely recommend Mr. Whitney. He settles things quickly and very professionally. Definitely recommend him for any motor vehicle accident or personal injury matters!!!

I would recommend Attorney Matthew Williams very highly. He took my case when other law firms said that I did not have a case.

We won and he helped me to negotiate the greatest award possible. We are very satisfied.

I have known attorney Robert Kahn for over 30 years and he has handled two significant law suits for me. In both cases, Robert demonstrated a very high level of expertise, professionalism and common sense. He is intensely inquisitive, making sure that every important detail is reviewed and re-reviewed well in advance of trial. He knows how to be tough like a bulldog, but then he also has a warmth and charm that he adroitly uses to persuade and influence. I would highly recommend Robert Kahn as your plaintiff's attorney when you have been injured or your rights have been illegally violated. He's "top gun".

I met Peter when I needed a lawyer because of a malpractice issue that resulted in permanent harm. It was a very hard time for me and I had no idea how to proceed given that I was still quite ill. Peter was thorough, negotiated with the hospital attorneys on my behalf and worked tirelessly on my behalf. He was a true advocate for patient rights. He kept a cool head but it was obvious that he always had my best interest at heart. In the end, a very fair settlement was reached. I could never have gone through this difficult process without Peter's guidance and advocacy.

Tony changed my views of what an attorney is all about. I have had bad experiences with attorneys. Tony is none of the "stuff" people hear about their representation by an attorney. You can be confident that when you hire Tony, he will fulfil his responsibilities. After working with Tony, I feel like I worked with a friend. I totally trusted his professionalism. Rest assured that your case won't be pushed aside or you won't be informed of the progression of your case. I am totally satisfied and you will be too.

Tony helped my family reach a settlement after a semi struck our car. Our injuries were very significant and my oldest daughter was hospitalized for about 3 months. I am on disability now. Throughout the entire process, starting with the initial visit in the hospital I felt extremely confident with Tony in every possible way. He was always there for us in taking calls, returning them, or meeting with us promptly. He was confident and VERY knowledgeable. He explained the process and anything that we didn't understand. He was professional & also supportive. He helped us THROUGH everything. We were/are very happy with the settlement we got. There are no words to explain how wonderful it was to have him as our attorney. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone.
My little girls loved him too. That was really helpful when most of the case was about my 10 year old. He was great working with her and she was totally comfortable working with him...not every attorney has that kind of rapport with children.
HIRE HIM if you need a personal injury attorney!

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals.
