Extremely helpful in my time of need
I had a situation where, due to surgery, felt unable to properly address a relentless detective. George Wolfe was prompt to meet with me and very quickly and professionally resolved the issue.

Excellent Representation
I hired to George to represent me on 2 OVI cases - He was extremely responsive and was able to greatly reduce my consequences. Marcie was also available when I needed to get questions answered immediately - I highly recommend Wolfe Legal.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney
I used this attorney for a DUI OVI case in Columbus Ohio. He filed a Motion to suppress and ended up getting the OVI charge dismissed. I was totally satisfied because he wasn't lazey and did a great deal of work on the case and it cost me $1,800 for everything.
