Reviews

These reviews have to be fabricated. This man has always been there for me at any hour and he always makes me feel like a priority even driving me out of town for a hearing where he embarrassed the other attorney and got me additional wages that I wasn't even asking for. I'll use him every time. He's got a perfect record in my corner. Top notch

John Dankovitch should not be a public defender. In no way he helps you with your case or tries to communicate with you. I would have to call him to see what is going on with my case. Even with the phone numbers provided to him to talk to others about myself, he never called any of them to get ANY info. In no way is this person defending me in anything - even with the solid evidence provided to him, he refuses to use it. Go get an actual lawyer.

I don't usually write reviews, but in reading the other review, I felt I should state what my experience was. I found Atty. Dankovich to be friendly, easy to talk to and very caring. He returned my calls and answered my questions shortly after I called. He seemed very knowledgable about my case and the court process. He was well prepared, defended me and won my case. I was very pleased, to say the least, and would recommend him to anyone needing a defense attorney.

I've learnt the hard way to not trust the public defender's office in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. They aren't very professional with keeping me notified nor seem to look through the evidence I provide them. Bring your own paperwork to court, don't trust them. They will lose your most important evidence the day of court. I gave John a pretty important paper, and what does he do? Goes and rubs it in the plaintiff's face then loses it the day of court. He even brought up we have evidence to the Judge on court day and then was scrambling through his folder trying to find it. Not only that, they don't keep track of nothing hardly, I tell them I have a trial on such and such day and they are like what?! Even the prosecutor "forgot". One day the public defender's office calls me out of the blue during work and says you have to come to court right now, they are waiting for you in court, you have a pre-trial right now. Of course I was never informed ahead of time about this. I am now in the process of paying for a super lawyer.
