Charley represents criminals and the lowest scums of the earth

Charley Hess is the lawyer for Lux Auto Depot in Powell Ohio and their salesman Steve Vaughan stole $30,000 from me and the owner Ani (last name too long to write) who supposedly isn’t even a US citizen. Some lawyers just have no ethics and will protect anyone for a quick buck. $75 consultation. Must... be a great lawyer. Does he offer coupons too ;).

WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND

I hired Charley for a criminal case where I had an outstanding warrant. He was able to show the Judge that I don't deserve to be in jail and I was able to be put on probation. He restored my faith in the system. I have referred him clients because he is a rarity as far as lawyers go.

Great Attorney - Highly Recommend

Charley represented me on 2 occasions and I have referred at least 3 other people that need representation. Charley is extremely well versed in both criminal and civil litigation. I find him open minded and a great advocate for his clients. Our relationship goes back 10+ years and he is the only atto...rney I would consider for representation.

Charley Hess was hired to represent me in filing a case against my builder through the AAA. Charley put his interests ahead of mine! Charley was paid a lot of money by the hour and neglected to include 5 of the 9 issues at the arbitration hearing in early 2016 and of the 4 issues that were presente...d at the hearing Charley left out crucial evidence, had witnessed not show up, and witness excluded that I did not know about. Charley did not do his job and drug out the entire process! Charley was not prepared for the hearing, lacked communication, and did less for me than the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Attorney

Charley Hess is professional and a charming gentleman. I am 73 years old and, over my business career, have met and employed several attorneys. Charley is as competent and ethical as any attorney with whom I’ve been involved. He thinks on his feet and outworks his opposition. He quickly grasps si...tuations that seem too complicated for his opposing counsel. I’ve retained Mr. Hess in struggles against Ford Motor Co. and Merrill Lynch – and, in each case, he won more than I thought possible. I highly recommend Mr. Hess to anyone in need of an extremely competent lawyer.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
