Excellent Skills. Very Professional

Mr. Olash was retained to represent my sister in a criminal case. From the beginning his participation gave my sister a sense of comfort. After months and months of the state trying to force a deal down her throat, Mr. Olash ultimately got the charges dismissed. Not a plea, charges dismissed. He is e...xcellent at his craft. I highly recommend his services.

Exceptional Attorney

John is a very professional, knowledgeable, and experienced attorney. With his guidance and perseverance, I was able to get a great ruling on my case. He was very prompt, attentive, and understanding of my circumstances. He never inflated the severity of my case, in the sense that a scare tactic is n...ot his style of conducting business. He advised exactly what the possibilities of the ruling would be, and the consequences. I am truly appreciative of his experience, kindness, and trustworthiness. If you are looking for representation from an experienced, empathetic, and ethical attorney. Call John!

Quality Work Ethic

I had the best experience working with John and his paralegal on my case. It was such a rough time for me but getting their counsel helped a lot. When I had other legal issues to discuss John was able to give me advice and even that situation had a happy ending. I appreciate John for his good work... ethic and quality service with clients.

John is a lifesaver

John Olash is in my speed dial for anything legal that comes up. He is not only a great attorney, he is human and sat with me during some really difficult times in my life including my divorce and the loss of my mother. He has an amazing ability to manage his cases and get the results his clients des...ire while still putting in that personal touch. I have worked with many Louisville area attorneys because of my job and John Olash is by far the one I recommend most. I consider John a great attorney but a great friend!!

Outstanding Individual with Regard to the client

Mr. Olash kept me from a huge felony getting it reduced to a misdemeanor dismissed on account of wrong place wrong time. I was a licensed conceal carry law abiding citizen who went to pick up a struggling friend when contacted put of the blue, and little did I know he (friend) was wrapped up in more ...than I was prepared to deal with. It almost cost me my freedom and rights, but thanks to Mr. Olash he was able to negotiate the situation with the judge and prosecutors. John Olash takes into account the human aspect for error and lack of information that a lot of his clients come across. He's a very good man and works hard to keep the civil justice.
