About Justin
Biography
I am a 2016 graduate of Capital University Law School. Before starting my legal career I spent eight years in the US Marine Corps. I believe everyone is entitled to adequate legal representation. The law can oftentimes be complex and confusing. I ensure that my clients are aware of their rights, and presented with the best legal options for their situation. My areas of practice include family law, juvenile, criminal defense, and civil litigation. My philosophy is to provide clients with agressive legal representation at an affordable price.

Blackhawk crew chief US Army
I served in the Army from September 1999 to December 2006. A friend recommended Justin to me and he took me from a 50 percent rating to a 90 percent rating on the first try. I am now at 100 percent. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!
