A Very Respectful and Persistent Attorney

I had very old charges from a disasterous divorce many years ago which has plagued me personally and professionally for nearly two decades. I contacted Mr. Owen and his assistant Mr. Whiteside for assistance with the situation and they were both fantastic. They were both incredibly respectful, hones...t and persistent in their efforts to successfully resolve the case for me. My greatest thanks go to both Mr. Owen and Mr. Whiteside for their work on my behalf. Now that the case has been dismissed I can finally put this horrible issue behind me and move on. Once you speak with Mr. Owen you'll soon realize his amazing temperment and integrity.

A Lawyer Well Worth the Cost

I was accused of two felonies. I spoke to several other attorneys in the Dayton-Columbus area and Mr. Owen was the only one that came off as someone who actually cared about my situation. He was very professional, went the extra mile, and in the end made sure that both felonies were dropped without a...n indictment. I would highly recommend Mr. Owen to anyone that needs legal assistance.

Best Defense.

I've needed a lawyer once or twice in the past and no matter how much I pay them I'm always a little disappointed this experience was completely different! Bottom line they were smart they had an exceptional plan and within a month we saw it executed to perfection the result CASE DISMISSED! Ch...arles and James became Chuck and Jim they're not cheap and I'm not rich, but freedom is priceless and after this case I wouldn't trust mine to anyone else!

He was hired to represent my husband Charles and several of my children the past 12 years .Jim has always helped us even when we where short on money.In 2004 my son Charlie Hay ''Fuzz" was charged with assault.At the time he was on felony probation and a conviction on anything would have sent Fuzz to... prison he paid all the money he had to a local Att. Who did not give him much hope.Finally a week before trial Jim said he would take his case.The following week Fuzz went to trial with Jim by his side. The jury found him not guilty.Jim kept his word and never asked for any money for his work for Fuzz.Fuzz passed away March 20 2009 Jimm came to the funeral.I hope this gives you an idea what kind of person he is .And to this day We are good friends.

Passionate about Personal Rights

Working in a professional industry, reputation can mean everything. To have your own expectations exceeded is rare. With each barrier that arose, Jim Owen has gone above and beyond. It has been a relief to have someone that is not only passionate about personal rights, but who cares about the client.... I have already recommended Mr. Owen to several of my colleagues, including an attorney who practices in a different specialty. Who you hire is crucial. Make your choice count!
