Top review highlights

Pros
1
Skilled and effective lawyer who gets positive results for clients
“He didn't help at all. People were trying to call and he never returned their calls. I had an incompetent interview and he told me "I don't think you're incompetent" in which I was denied AND HE AGREED WHEN I WENT TO COURT.”
2
Dedicated and hardworking, even going the extra mile for clients
“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.”
Cons
1
Lack of communication and responsiveness with clients
“I was arrested i”
2
Insufficient attention and preparation for individual cases
“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.”
3
Organizational and administrative issues in the public defender's office
“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.”
