This law firm strides in client satisfaction, I’m extremely pleased with the service and knowledge that was provided by James Maus. I’m definitely going to refer family members and friends to this law firm. Thanks again, Mr. Maus

I hired Jim Maus to represent me when my ex took me back to court for a post-divorce filing concerning our children. I've had several lawyers since being divorced and by far he's the most caring and knowledgeable. He has Supreme Court & trial defense experience so it goes without saying that he's willing to go to bat for his clients. He was thorough and took the time to understand my very complex litigation history with my ex. He listened to my points and worked with me to find solutions for my desired outcome in my case. Additionally, the support staff at this firm goes above and beyond as well. Dirk Kaufman was Jim's legal assistant assigned to my case. He has a wonderful work ethic that is quite rare in today's young professionals. He made sure I had all my questions and concerns answered in a timely manner - which is a trait I personally value. Abigail Simpson also deserves a shout out. When you hire a lawyer, it's not because you're in a cheap or enjoyable situation. Hiring a lawyer is expensive and stressful. Abigail works in the associates accounting dpt. and she is so kind and understanding. After 1/2 of my retainer was used, she reached out to me to set-up a payment plan to ensure my account didn't get behind. She worked with me ever so empathetically to estimate how much more Jim would need to continue working on my case and identify a dollar amount that was affordable for me to make payments. I really appreciate the ability to make payments on my account instead of large lump sums being required. This firm also has a pay online option without additional fee's, so that is extremely convenient as well. God forbid I ever need a lawyer again, but if I do, I'm calling Jim Maus and his crew! Thanks Barr, Jones for having a talented, capable, and tenacious Team for those needing a fighting chance!

This firm won my husband's workers comp claim when bigger well known firms said we didn't have a win able claim!

Outstanding

Absolutely the worst attorney I have ever dealt with. Didn't have a clue who I was when I called for updates. High priced for mediocre results. I could have saved the $600 I spent on Mr Hart, defended myself and received the same results for an interstate speeding ticket. Ended up paying more for the speeding ticket than the original amount. On top of everything, calls me the day of court and tells me I need to get up and copy, print, and scan back documents or I will have to appear in court in one hour. Didn't even ask me if I wanted to accept the plea deal!!! Moral of the story...don't get caught speeding 😒

Neil he is very kindful and helpful, with great service.

Great team and great communication!

I live in greater Cincinnati area and went to school at NKU. Neil gets 5 stars review for my case that started in spring 2012 by a Removal proceeding. Recently, (October 2015), the case has been adjudicated by USCIS with a positive outcome. I recommend his services for the attributes which he has displayed during the past 3 & ½ years that the case has lasted. If it sounds to you like a complicated case; you are right! It was complicated. I am sparing the details of the case to focus on what Neil has done for me so that; you may know what you can reasonably expect if you chose his services. He knows the immigration laws and equally important he knows the strengths and weaknesses of a case. For instance, after released from ICE detention he deeply advised on what needed to be done one step at a time including a referral to another attorney who helped my case under Padilla Vs Kentucky. He is someone you can engage in a discussion if you have concerns during the process/course of your case. Also he quickly responds to his emails. Many times I have sent emails late in the night past midnight and get responses as early as 7:30 AM. Also, at some point we needed a very robust argument in immigration court to get the case terminated; as the government attorney has shown serious resistance early in the case (my next court hearing was scheduled for 2017). Neil made me know that he may not be the ideal person because of the complexity of the case. His openness and honesty on this specific point guided me to reach out to resources. Neil provided me with emotional encouragement. When the case was initially denied by USCIS in March 2015 I emailed him and he immediately responded back asking me to call him. As you may expect I was in a kind of panic but he calmly explain to me what needed to be done; which reassure me! This kind of personable encouragement that I got on the phone is an icing on the cake. Immigration matters always at minimum, involved some stress even in the simplest case in appearance. He was able to get the case reopen by USCIS on their own and I was rescheduled for an interview. (I did not have to re-file with all the fees etc…) In sum, I recommend Neil services as he has shown knowledge of immigration laws and processes; professionalism and has referred to other resources (other lawyers…) when they were needed to complement his work in other to achieve a successful outcome in my case.

Neil is the best lawyer you could ever have

Neil was awesome! He promptly answered all my questions and made the cumbersome process of gathering and compiling documents to apply for a green card a lot easier and streamlined! He also did a wonderful job keeping me informed throughout every step of this process. I would recommend him for anyone wanting to put their mind at ease and wanting to get help to better understand the process!

Great work by Neil. Always reliable and trusted attorney.
