I have never been in trouble in my life before this and I was totally freaked out when I was charged with this offense. Everything looked awful from my standpoint and I was completely unsure as to what was getting ready to happen to me. I contacted Dustin Blake for help immediately. He is very easy to talk to and I am amazed at how easy he made this whole process. My charges were dismissed without ever stepping foot into a court room. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation.
Accident on ice, Dustin Blake took care of everything
A year or two ago I had gotten into an accident on black ice. I ended up going head on into a telephone pole. My cousin who happened to be close by picked me up from the accident when he saw what had happened. I was very much out of it from the collision and I ended up contacting Dustin Blake about the situation. I could have been charged for fleeing the scene of the accident but Dustin took care of everything and I ended up not getting charged at all. My car was totalled so the only thing I ended up paying for was a new car and Dustin's outstanding services. I could not have been happier with the outcome.

Integrity+Perseverance+Calling to Serve Others=Great Person & Lawyer
The integrity, perseverance, & professionalism that Dustin displayed throughout his representation of me makes him an exceptional lawyer. The exchange of value that Dustin provided was second to none and much more efficient and cost effective than many other high-priced Attorney's in Columbus, Ohio. As service professionals, Attorney's are judged by the value that they bring to their clients. Dustin brought to me a much greater value than the money, trust, and time he received in exchange!

Thank You Dustin!
Our son got into trouble --- not once but twice -- and Dustin was our shoulder to lean on. Nothing is scarier than the court system and the ramifications that could result if you are not prepared. Thank heavens we knew Dustin. In both cases, Dustin took over and lead us through the process. He was calm and so professional that we felt immediate relief that our son would get the best possible outcome. If you ever need an attorney, run -- don't walk-- to Dustin Blake! You will be glad you did.

Expungement
Dustin was referred by a close friend. He did an excellent job calming my anxiety about getting the expungement done, and in the end, he was successful in getting the conviction removed from my record. I truly believe that Dustin's professionalism was the difference in resolving my case!
