David A. Jividen

I've known him for 35 years and he is the best or one of the best lawyers I've known! Other lawyers will fast talk you but mr Jividen will shoot straight with you. Got a great result in my cases and I have referred several friends to him who have been equally satisfied.

I recently hired Mr. Jividen to represent me in a criminal matter in Ohio County magistrate court. Given his reputation, I assumed that the $10,000 dollar retainer would be well worth it, but I soon found out that this was not the case. For starters, Mr. Jividen did not show up for my preliminary hearing, and gave no explanation as to why. There were two more hearings that Mr. Jividen did not show up for either, and he sent his associate who does not even practice criminal law. So that means 3 hearings and 3 no shows. I am simply stating the complete, documented, and undeniable facts. Mr. Jividen never came into the office, did not return my calls, and ignored almost all of my emails. After six month of a completely bogus felony charge sitting over my head, I finally fired Mr. Jividen for obvious mal-practice. Mr. Jividen only refunded half of my retainer and he was very reluctant to do that. I hired another attorney and he had the case dismissed in less than 3 weeks in magistrate court. There is absolutely nothing in this statement that is untrue or exaggerated in anyway.
