Character and Fitness Hearing

I hired attorney Justin Smith to represent me at my character and fitness hearing so I can possibly sit for the Ohio bar. He was well prepared to defend me. He reviewed many documents and met with me so I would better able to answer questions fully. He was able to think through concerns of the panel ...and show that my character and fitness has always been adequate as full examination has shown. Always prompt for meetings. Has excellent communication skills. I would recommend him for any profession in which one faces a hearing. Excellent defender!
