Posted by Cody | September 18, 2024 | Hired Attorney

Ohio's Greatest Attorney

Attorney Cahoon has represented me a few times over the years. He's always one step a head of the system sometimes two. He is a great guy and a outstanding attorney. If you're looking to hire a lawyer, Spencer is the one you can count on. You can't ask for a better professional. I wouldn't wan...t another attorney on any case other than him.

These are two of the most important traits a client should desire in a criminal defense attorney. If I had a case that had Houston connections, I would reach out to him for assistance on that end."

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.
