Poor Landlord Situation

Mr. Wolfe was excellent in helping me out of a bad landlord situation. The landlord and similar parties threaten to take me to debt collections on damages which were not my responsibility. With clear communication from Mr. Wolfe on Ohio law and following consequences of breaking such laws to the land...lord, a possible nightmare was quickly avoided.

Exceptional Service

My experience with Wolfe Legal Services has been exceptional. I called Mr. Wolfe for advice based on a recommendation regarding a dispute with my landlord. He was able to answer all of my questions over the phone and give me the advice I needed to move forward without charging me for his services. Hi...s knowledge and expertise was extremely helpful and exceeded my expectations. I have since hired him and would definitely recommend his services to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
