Keeps his word and will be there for you when you need him!

Whenever someone makes false allegation about you regarding a minor you need an attorney, you need Adam Bleile. During a custody battle back in 2011 I was accused of abuse and Adam was available to answer all my questions and made sure to take the appropriate steps needed to protect my career and lif...e outside of work. Nothing ever came of the accusations but Adam made me aware many times things could pop up down the road in these situations. Wow was he correct, seven years later the mother tried to use these tactic against me again to make her situation better - she was recently arrested for drug (Meth) possession and instantly (the next morning) went to cops making false allegations. Adam was right there for me again and didn't leave me hanging. Her false story quickly fell apart but having Adam by my side seven years later as he promised meant a lot. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with false accusations - he will get to the truth! He is available anytime you need him, he responded to my first email while he was boarding a plane on his way home from vacation!

An expert in the area of sex crimes

After being falsely accused of sexual assault and reported to the police, Adam reached out to local law enforcement and after which they stopped contacting me, case was dropped. Now Adam continues to help with the colleges title IX investigation, he knows the language of these kinds of hearings and ...is very familiar with all areas of sexual crimes. If you need representation for something involving a sex crime hire someone like Adam who specializes in the area.

Fought hard - and won

My girlfriend and I recently hired Adam Bleile and Chelsea Pille from their firm. He did a fantastic job of jumping down everyone's throat he could and challenging everything that could possibly be challenged. Chelsea was a great compliment in researching the legal precedents in a very complicated ca...se and keeping facts straight. Good attorney, and good support from his partner.

Pandering, Unlawful, and Disseminating Charges

I'm 26 years old, my girlfriend was 15 turning in 16 in 3 weeks to have been legal to avoid these charges. I thought my life was over, I was facing a sex offender status and possibly the longest jail time. I hired Adam Bleile, 3 weeks before my sentence date to change lawyers because I had a really b...ad one, where I was offered a plea deal to register but no jail time. I decided I didnt want that, I wanted to see if I had a chance. Adam and his awesome associate attorney Chelsea helped me to the fullest extent. Yesterday, all 3 of my charges were dismissed. Two felonies and a misdemeanor. Not just because of my girlfriend fighting for me but also for these two great lawyers. Thank you Adam and Chelsea.

"I have know Adam as a practicing lawyer for more than 15 years. He has always had a strong interest in criminal law and zealously defending his clients. When I needed help on a tough sex crime case, I brought in Adam as co-counsel. He has a great rapport with jurors. He gets fired up in the courtroom -- he will not sit back and let the prosecutor or the legal system run over you. This may be the most important phone call you ever make. Call Adam today!"

He knows how to evaluate a case for strengths and weaknesses and effectively develop case strategy. Adam takes extra care to make sure his clients understand all consequences of each decision.

"Adam is a great lawyer! I have worked with him, and against him, over the years. His success comes from his tenacity and drive. When he is seeking something for a client, he is a machine - and if you are on the other side - be prepared for a battle! That kind of zealousness for his clients combined with his thorough knowledge of the law - results in a lawyer who is very adept at achieving his clients' goals. When I see him on the other side in a case- I know I better be ready."

"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. Adam is a brilliant attorney that I regularly seek out to consult with on sex crimes cases. His knowledge, skill, reputation and expertise in this field is at the very pinnacle of the profession. In the world of criminal defense, the sex crime case is without question the most difficult case a criminal lawyer will ever handle. Very few attorneys ever take a sex crimes case, and even fewer should take one. These cases are reserved for the elite of the profession, the courtroom assassins, the top 1 percenters, and Adam is definitely a number 1 shooter in this field."

"I have known Adam for several years and have always been impressed with his aggressive defense of sex crimes. When my clients have legal issues in Cincinnati and the surrounding area, I tell them to call Adam. I recently referred a client who was being investigated for rape and pandering. Adam was able to steer the investigation away from the client and prevent the filing of charges. Adam consistently gets fantastic results and I have only received positive feedback from clients that I've referred."

"Adam Bleile is the first attorney I call regarding sex crimes cases in Southern Ohio and Kentucky. Adam and his partners do not shy away from "bad facts" or cases that other attorneys would consider "indefensible." Adam zealously defends and treats with respect people who are accused of some of the worst crimes - importuning, GSI, rape, etc. He knows RSO laws thoroughly and will do what's necessary to obtain the best results possible."
