Had no idea this lawyer was listed by any name other than K Bob Toy. He goes by Bob! Glad I discovered this site as well. You can read my review at his Bob Toy web page. That is much easier than typing it all out again. He was terrible. He just took our money and did not work for us. He showed up at the hearings (custody) unprepared and wanted to cram it all in last minute. Absolutely awful. If he didn't care he should have been honest and not taken the case. I had just lost my son ( passed away) and we were trying to get custody of our grandson who had been with us most of the first year of life (1 year old for two weeks prior to his father's death). Our grandsons mother was out of the picture and had nothing to do with the baby so now we have shared parenting. Shared with the other grandma who was barely in the child's life his first year and because the grandma and meigs cps STATED ( no proof) her daughter wanted her to have him. Never even came to the hospital when her daughter was having him. This could have been an easy case if any amount of time had been put in. Very sad what he does to people. He sits and laughs about taking money from the students up town to pay cash for boats. It's all about greed with him. He does not care nor does he put in any work. I hope this review saves someone lots of money and heart ache because he truly doesn't care. This man has big Karma to go through and I hope he thinks of my poor little grandson being shuffled back and forth 3x per week to one side that didn't care enough to be in his life prior to the death of his dad. The last time We saw or talked to Bob was in court that day (2021). He didn't even have the decency to follow up with us. He was just done. Please do your research and hire sometime that cares and will work for you because this guy just wants the money.

I was trying to run from my problems and start a new life livin in Miami Florida When I was picked up on a nationwide warrant out of southeastern Ohio for felony 2 heroin charges. when I contacted Mr. Toy... I also had a warrant in Jackson Ohio for felony 3 heroin and warrants out of cincinnati Ohio for felony 5 heroin and felony 5 fentanyl possession that had me wanted in Ohio. Ohio did not decide to extradite me from miami jail so I was released back to my life in Miami after a few weeks In jail. I had already hired bob toy and he convinced me to return to Ohio, organized the circumstances of my surrender, and orchestrated plea bargains In ALL COUNTIES that couldn’t have gone better. I have not done heroin in over a year and god willing I will complete diversion and treatment in lieu of conviction programs, entering my adult life without a bad criminal history! I believe hes gota be the best defense attorney in Athens hands down. Although there were conversations I felt he could’ve been a tad friendlier, I believe he always held good intentions and I really enjoyed the passion in our dialogues. He’s a realist. I don’t really like posting stuff like this but seriously this guy saved my life so maybe if you are and Ohio university kid that got caught up with some bad drugs you have a chance to turn it around like me.

I hired Bob Toy to help defend me against allegations that were being investigated by my school. Through the entire process, he always kept me in the loop and let me know what to expect next. I would highly recommend Bob Toy as a defense lawyer

I hired Kerry Toy to Help me Through a sexual Assault charge put against me through my school. I was referred to Kerry from a person I know because he is a Friend and he knows Kerry is the right man for the job. He was not only helpful but he did a excellent job advising me and helping me win my case.

I hired Mr. Toy to represent my son on a high tier OVI. I did my research and chose him because he is know to be knowledgable, aggressive and respected in the Athen's Courts. He let us know what to expect throughout this whole process. From my first call to his staff, I felt comfort and hope. His staff is amazing and always promptly answered my emails and calls. They immediately got my son driving privileges. Mr. Toy also promptly answered my calls and emails-- even when he was out of the country. He called us and answered all of our questions and concerns. We did not feel rushed and he told us how to get ahold of him at any time. My son made some mistakes when he got pulled over and did not make Mr. Toy's job easy. Mr. Toy worked very hard and fought to the very end to get the OVI charge lowered to a lesser charge. It was the best possible outcome considering the circumstances. I am so glad that I did my research and picked him to represent my son. He is the perfect balance of being knowledgable, aggressive and respected. I would highly recommend Mr. Toy and his staff!

I recently retained Mr. Toy for a very complicated and detailed matter. Mr. Toy and his staff were extremely knowledgable, responsive, and able to resolve the matter quickly. Bob is definitely the man and I would retain him again should the need arise. Many thanks!

Robert Toy charged me $3,500 and said he would get a verbal only confrontation with my neighbor dismissed. He told me that the charges were a gross miscarriage of justice and that he would get the charges dismissed. I paid him $3,500. The only correspondence he had with me since was to send me notification of my court date. When I appeared on the required day, he approached me in the courtroom with several others present and asked me to sign a form. I did as he asked, and when the judge called my name I was escorted by Mr. Toy to the questioning area and asked to reply "yes" to the charge of "no contest." When I looked at him, he told me to say "yes" out loud. I did as I was told and now have said I was guilty of a misdemeanor with $200 fine and 10 hr community service. I do not feel that Robert Toy in any way defended me- he simply took my money and did absolutely nothing else.

I found myself in a very uncomfortable situation (out of town client) that Mr. Toy resolved with incredible tenacity and to quote a previous reviewer "he is a no-nonsense" kind of lawyer. He is the only attorney to hire in Athens, he takes care of business. I was very worried about the outcome of my case and he and his staff were very diligent in getting my case resolved. He totally saved my a**. He takes care of all the steps in the legal process. Highly recommend!

Bob Toy is a "no-nonsense" kind of lawyer who won't waste your time. He very rapidly analyzed my situation and formulated a plan to help me, and he kept me informed every step of the way. He literally saved my career when I found myself in a huge jam, and did it quickly and with a minimum cost. The results were way above what I expected, and to me, he is worth his weight in gold. He knows the law, he knows the Justice system, and he can make both work for you. I wholeheartedly recommend him without reservations to anyone in need of legal help!

Mr. Toy was a great criminal defense attorney. He kept me updated throughout the entire court process and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I would recommend Mr. Toy to anyone looking for a successful, thoughtful, and professional lawyer.

Being an out of town client, I didn't expect the high level representation Mr. Toy provided. He and his staff, however , treated me as if I were hometown family. Honesty and straightforward communication was the practice as I received a very favorable outcome in my case. I strongly recommend retaining Mr. Toy in any legal matter.

I hired Bob Toy when my son needed a defense attorney while attending Ohio U. Mr Toy was diligent in his search for justice. He kept us informed through the entire process and provided a stern defense that our son deserved. Mr Toy's office staff is outstanding. I would not hesitate to hire Mr Toy again and I recommend him if you want an attorney with more than 35 years of legal experience who has thorough knowledge of the legal process and how to build a strong legal defense.
