Unsatisfactory Representation
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 hea...

The attorney you want to have on your side!
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 endorse this lawyer. In two instances, I have had the distinct honor of working with Dave Jividen----one was during the lengthy time that he served as a leader on the statewide Lawyer Disciplinary Board and the other during his outstanding service in a leadership position on a statewide philanthropic organization's Board of Directors. In both positions, Dave made wise legal decisions and provided important leadership regarding allegations of unethical conduct by lawyers and making certain that fairness and equality were made available in the administration of justice and the provision of legal services to men, women and children during their time of need. Dave is highly regarded by members of the judiciary and the legal profession. He gives expert guidance and counsel to his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is an excellent lawyer with an impeccable reputation."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is also very well versed in the Criminal Defense law"
"I endorse this lawyer. There is no better litigator than Dave Jividen. His skill and knowledge are truly unsurpassed."
"I’ve known Dave Jividen for 30 years, and the quality of his representation of his clients is excellent. In our community there are many choices for injury attorneys, and Dave is known for his personal service and capabilities for complex and demanding cases."
"I first met Dave in 1989 after taking a job with his firm. After a couple years I left his firm to take a job overseas and upon returning opened my own law firm in South Carolina. Since then Dave and I have worked on several cases together. Dave has taught me so many things about doing trial work that I cannot begin to set each of them out. He has a unique way of making complex issue of litigation understandable. I think that is the most important thing to do when trying a case. A jury cannot award what they do not understand. Along with being able to get a jury to see his point of view his grasp of the law is second to none. You will be hard pressed to find a better trial lawyer in Wheeling or the surrounding areas."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. When it comes to personal injury and criminal defense, David Jividen is superb, as good as you'll find anywhere. He's excellent in the courtroom, has good legal judgment and cares about his clients."
