Underage Consumption at Ohio State

It's been a number of years, but I've only ever hired one lawyer in my 28 years of living, and Michael Probst was excellent. I had a beer can in my hand at a roped off, college party being held outside. This all happened when I was a junior attending The Ohio State University. The notorious STOP prog...ram as I believe it's called involves undercover police officers wearing Ohio State jerseys casually walking into college party areas with the sole goal to cite as many underage students as possible. Whether you agree with the taskforce they had back then or not, I was caught, and I the anxiety was intense. Michael was calm, cool, and seamless to work with. He attended court on my behalf and expeditiously got me a deal where I could attend a day-long program at a church about making smart decisions, alcohol, taking ownership, etc. Afterwards, I sent him my certificate, and he got my case dismissed and later expunged. This was my only time ever getting into any type of legal trouble but Michael Probst was on my side and honestly, I am unsure any other lawyer could have done it better. Thank you for your help back then, Michael. I was so worried the day I was cited but looking back, I learned from it but never dealt with lifelong consequences due to your polished representation of me.

One of the Best!

I was extremely happy for the way Mr. Probst represented me. He is very knowledgeable and used his many years of experience to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. I was charged with suspicion of OVI and he worked very hard to get a plea deal for me, but the prosecutor would not budge wit...h my previous driving record. The case was actually moved to a trial with a jury of my peers. This is where Mr. Probst really excelled. He worked tirelessly on my case which took over 5 months to conclude. He would contact me on Saturday's and Sunday's with questions about my case so he really does work 7 days a week. The cards looked to be stacked against us at first but with his courtroom experience and vast knowledge he was able to prove my innocence. He was upfront about all my options about the case as well as the price that it would cost for each option. I can not thank Mr. Probst enough. I absolutely recommend Mr. Probst.

Well worth it ... throughout the whole process

We have never faced any legal issues before so when we needed to hire an attorney we didn't even know what we needed or what we were looking for. Mr. Probst was just what we needed! He walked us through each step of the process, kept us informed via phone and email and did everything within his pow...er to find the truth. Having never been through an experience like this before, the fear and unknowing feeling were overwhelming. Mr. Probst was able to help us not only legally but emotionally as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed legal services such as his. We started with a different attorney but found quickly that we needed communication. Mr. Probst kept us informed at every turn which helped with some of our anxiety. He was thorough with his explanations and when I didn't understand the legal system he took the time to explain it to me. His fees were fair and his knowledge was exemplary in his field. Without going into detail, the system now makes you prove your innocent and assumes you're guilty. Mr. Probst was able to find the facts that did just that for us. We will be forever indebted to him for what he gave back to us; our peace of mind and the life of a family member.

Excellent Attorney!

I recently hired Mike to assist me in an OVI charge. He was extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to help me get a good result. He was great in responding to any questions I had and stayed in touch with me regarding the status of the case. I trusted his opinions and followed his advice ...and couldn't be happier with the result! He's amazing in the court room as well....professional and charismatic. I would highly recommend him!
