Great Representation
I retained George, on behalf of a relative, for a high profile DUI case. His advice and representation were invaluable and turned, what likely would have been a prison term that would have broken up a family, into something much more conventional.

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. I was unable to drive during this time and he was unbelievably accommodating. I strongly recommend George Wolfe for your legal needs!

Exceptional attorney
Mr. Wolfe is an outstanding attorney. He is efficient, highly intelligent, and has a solid understanding in many aspects of the law. He listened carefully to my needs and guided me through a potentially difficult case with ease. I highly recommend him and will continue to use him in the future.

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 landlord, a possible nightmare was quickly avoided.

Very qualified lawyer!
by stupidity I was in one not very good situation. And since I'm not strong in legal matters and state laws, I asked George to help. He advised me by e-mail and politely answered all my questions. He said what I need to do to solve this situation. He also took the lead in the court completely and my case was dismissed. I am very grateful to George for his help, and I can safely advise his acquaintances as a qualified lawyer.

Would Recommend George for any legal need
George helped my son during a very difficult time and a serious charge. He gave us great advice at each hearing and when we were ready to take a reduced charge just to end the bad dream, he recommended we stick it out for one more hearing since he thought the charges would be dropped. It was great advice and the charges were dismissed at the next hearing. No court charges and my sons record will remain clean as it should! Thanks George!

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
I had a consult with George Wolfe over the phone. He was extremely polite and helpful. I have had horrible experiences with attorneys in my area. But George explained to me everything that I could do to help my case. And what legal rights I had. I would hire George without hesitation if he was in my area. He seems to really know the law and cares about what's rights. I really appreciate the advice he gave me. And I would recommend him to anyone.

When in need - Atty Wolfe!
While not a specifically legal matter, Atty. George Wolfe's prompt assistance saved the day. I am located in Ecuador, South America and desperately in need of a document to be notarized and apostilled at the Ohio Sec. of State's office. Said document then had to be sent to me by courier. As of 9:10 AM this morning, the papers left Miami on a flight to Ecuador. We are very pleased with George's professional efforts in solving our problem. Thanks George!

Abutting condo neighbors new balcony offending fence
Thanks to Mr. Wolfe's effort, research and diligence dealing with an abutting condo unit's new offending balcony fence that eliminated our common area view from what it had been previously, the offensive fence was restored/modified to its original height. Consequently, the fence problem was resolved. Mr. Wolfe's apparent experience in dealing with condominium associations, condominium law and their inherent complexities is evident. We were pleased with Mr. Wolfe's services in this matter and would call upon him again for his services for any legal matter should a need arise in the future.

Best Case Scenario Thanks to George!
I live out of state and I needed someone to represent me to contest a speeding ticket charge I picked up while in Ohio. I always hope for a best case scenario but in life you don't always achieve this. I was prepared to take a lesser charge but George worked his magic and pulled off a total dismissal of charges. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend George to a friend, family or colleague. Thank you George for pulling off the best case scenario!

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. His knowledge and expertise was extremely helpful and exceeded my expectations. I have since hired him and would definitely recommend his services to anyone.

George Wolfe...higly recommended.
I was Mr. Wolfe's client from early 2005 until the summer of 2010. During this time, he represented me and my mother in regard to a nasty probate guardianship case in Columbus. Though he was not able to get the guardianship terminated prior to my mom's death in 2010, Mr. Wolfe, tried diligently to get this done. While working the probate case, attorney Wolfe also represented me as primary defense counsel in a bizarre criminal case out-of-state (South Carolina) involving false accusations against me pertaining to my 10-year-old 2nd cousin. Sure that I was innocent...and realizing that I could go to prison for life if convicted...Mr. Wolfe worked the case hard with another lawyer. After a 3-day trial, I was acquitted of all charges.

Response from George Wolfe October 1, 2015
Gerald's case was very rewarding to work on. Interestingly in the trial, the police detective testified the some of the witness' allegations were "fantasy." It makes me wonder why they filed charges in the first place.
Posted by Tom | June 4, 2014
Highly Recommended
I known George Wolfe for many years. During that time he has handled a wide variety of different cases for me. Attorney Wolfe's ability to apply his experience and expertise handling my cases had me feeling confident and set me at ease knowing that my best interests were at the forefront. He is well educated, extremely knowledgeable and his high standards sets the bar for others to follow. Attorney Wolfe devoted the time needed and worked hard on all of my cases with passion and courage. He makes excellent recommendations as well as being an attentive listener. Simply put, he is in it to win it.
