Attorney Par Excellence

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to represent me than Atty. Brad Koffel. The criminal case brought against me threatened not only my livelihood but the future of my business. As someone who has never had to deal with the law, being charged with a misdemeanor was extremely stressful and nerve...-racking. Brad was the perfect counselor and guide in navigating a process that was both highly intimidating and unfamiliar. He put together a team to help with my case and, in hindsight, knew exactly what to do each step of the way— including when, why, and how to engage with the judge and prosecutor. The legal strategy he devised on my case and his ability to see what’s coming ahead— and more importantly what’s around the corner— to develop and execute the appropriate response was simply invaluable. He’s very careful in his choice of words and he writes with brevity, clarity, and power making the legal arguments he was presenting on my behalf so effective. In the end, Atty. Brad Koffel got my case dismissed without going to trial which was the best possible outcome for me, a result I couldn’t possibly have expected at the beginning of this horrific journey. I owe it to Brad and his depth of experience, intimate knowledge of the criminal court and the players in it, his courage and integrity in fighting for justice and the truth, and his unwavering dedication to clients like myself that I finally have my life back. You simply cannot put a price or value on that, and so I will forever be indebted. You cannot ask for a better lawyer than Atty. Brad Koffel. He’s the best and you want him on your side fighting with and for you.

Brad Koffel Representation

Brad was extremely professional in his dealings with me and my case. He was extremely thorough and did a great job understanding all of the factors that would have ramifications with regard to making decisions in my case. He is professional, knowledgable, and personal. He made dealing with a very unc...omfortable circumstance as comfortable as possible. I was very well represented and was never concerned about the decision I made to hire Brad for representation. His knowledge of the law, the process, and the people involved was invaluable. I am 100% confident that the outcome of my case would not have been the same with any other representation.

Fake Lawyer

My family retained Mr. Koffel on a burglary charge after finding him online. We were very interested because Mr. Koffel lists on his website that he has received many awards for his practice of criminal defense and even claims to be the very best. My family has come to learn from our 2nd attorney tha...t this attorney isn't really a good lawyer at all and has limited trial experience. In fact we could not find a single case in Franklin County in the last 5 years that Mr. Koffel went to trial on. How can he claim to be some great attorney when he does not conduct trials for his clients. I thought Mr. Koffels advertisements were misleading and my family thought he did not have our best interests at hand. I would never recommend this attorney and I think his website portrays him as an excellent attorney when in fact it appears as though he pleads all of his clients guilty.
