We have worked with Ian now for over 3 years. In MULTIPLE cases of different subjects. He has handled a child custody case, another case regarding a CPO order unrelated to child custody , and we currently hired him again for my opened case regarding custody hearing into trial. I will update my review on Google and AVVO after trial is done, but this far Ian has been supportive, given us the answers we needed, and been responsive when we question how the courts work etc! Very happy to have him as our attorney, and looking forward to see how he maneuvers us and preps us for trial and does during trial! Will update soon!’

Got myself Into a Horrible Situation And Was Looking at A long Time In Prison for the mistakes I made at the time. I Did Not See No Light at the end of the tunnel, and then i hired Ian. Not Only Was He NOT Judgmental To The Situation he was SUPER Re-Assuring and Confident with my Case. He Drove To the Jail I was being held at Countless Times and Kept In Constant Contact With Me And My Family Updating ME Every Step Of The Way. He Was Able to get me help for my bad drug usage at the time and was able to bring light and a second chance to my life, and that is Something i am very grateful for.

He handled some domestic situations and divorce and was very responsive and had things in motion quickly. He cares about his clients and I would highly recommend him.

He completed a Bankruptcy for me and did it exactly as expected. Great Attorney and I would highly recommend.

Stay away!!! He is nice, personal but not competent. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and think "everyone makes mistakes", but he has caused irreparable damage for our family that can't be undone that we are still paying the price for. So all I can do at this point is warn the public so they wont fall prey to incompetency when they are vulnerable like we were. This is personal to tell, but if it will help someone else avoid the trouble we had I will gladly share what happened. We had to do a bankruptcy due to medical bills. My child was sick and had to go to Mayo Clinic repeatedly. We tried everything to avoid bankruptcy, but we couldn't avoid it. We hired this attorney in good faith that we could just get this over with and put this behind us. Nope we are still paying the price for his incompetency. We asked him to reaffirm our vehicles and our house and what did he do??? HE GOT THEM DISCHARGED in the bankruptcy when they were supposed to be reaffirmed.. That was a permanent mistake that cannot be easily undone with out further hardship. I honestly tried to let that go and just call it "rotten luck", but that decision is still causing new problems for us that will not get better for 2 years! Luckily I believe in a God that is bigger and can handle this. Thankfully we can still live in the house as long as we make payments, so we are not homeless. As far as the vehicles go, because my husband's income is high, we did get financed for 2 new vehicles at payments that wont fully break us, but I think if we had a lower income we wouldn't have been so fortunate... Next... This attorney has zero organization and he drug his feet on getting us a hearing for a year after we paid him. That means the longer that he drug his feet on a hearing, the longer we had to wait to start rebuilding financially.. We tried to be patient, but eventually that got old. He wouldn't return our calls intended to inquire about the status of when our court hearing would be. FYI we were afraid of making him mad at us so we wouldn't call repeatedly, but after months would pass, we would call for an update with no call back for weeks. When he would finally follow up and call us back he would make up excuses and say that it's taking a long time to get hearings in Toledo, which was not true. My friend went through another attorney in the area for the same thing and got right in for a hearing. The difference was the attorney. He would say "I'll send you an email or a link to this fill this out and we can get you your hearing.." and weeks would go by no email. Call the office again. NO call back of course. There are so many other issues that came up that I do not have the time to go into, but please believe every bad review left on this, it's exactly what happened to us. I have no idea how he is getting any positive reviews. I am guessing they are his friends reviewing him. That's only thing I can guess. Or that's he's been educated in law and has been able to avoid the consequences that he deserves. I do believe that it will catch up to him eventually, but for now be warned. He hurts peoples lives and does not advocate for his clients.

I am from out-of-state and drive into Ohio for work. I received a traffic violation that left me concerned about my driving record. I learned points for this ticket transferred appreciably from one state to the other. Not familiar with the local legal scene, I hired Ian based on his upstanding reputation among my Ohio clientele and his Avvo reviews. He did a phenomenal job; answered all of my questions, promptly responded to all inquiries and exceeded my expectations with resolution. He is calm, cool, collected and takes care of everything. Ian has my highest recommendation!

Ian represented me in a case where I could have been sent to prison worked hard and saved me and kept me out of trouble.

Ian was great to deal with. He was very professional, honest and handled my matter very timely. I would highly recommend Ian for any legal matter.

i gave him 300$ to file for early release for my son an he never filed any thing an lied to me every time we talked vi emails or on the phone

Ian was very professional and straight to the point. He answered all of our questions. Anytime I tried to get in touch with him about our on-going case he was very prompt with a response and even called on a Saturday! He always told us what to expect and what would be our possibilities. In our opinion he is the best and got us what we asked for. He is honest and dependable. If it wasn't for Ian I don't know what would have happened with our cases. He is also very affordable and very nice. Me and my husband can't thank him enough for what he already has done for our family and what he is currently in the process of doing. Thank you Ian for everything.
