CHAOS in Hocking County

I had to secure an attorney to represent me: divorce. (Hocking County). During my initial consultation, Joe listened to my story. He was extremely honest with his concerns as to how things might turn out for me: not much in my favor. Yet, as the proceedings unfolded, continued, and so on- Joe ...and his staff were experienced, prepared and were ALWAYS ready to jump the hurdle, and/or tackle the next event or surprise. The outcome was EXTREMELY successful- IN MY FAVOR. THANKS to the skill, knowledge, and talent of Joe and his team! MANY THANKS TO JOE, COURTNEY, LYNN AND ZACH) Brenda

FIVE STARS PLUS

Joseph Nigh was our attorney for a difficult child custody case. Joe and his staff were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to our questions. We had complete confidence in whatever steps Joe pursued with the court. He always made sure we were in agreement as he guide...d us through the process. He was prepared, detailed, and no nonsense during our hearings. But as his client, we found him very approachable and very easy to talk to when discussing our options or concerns. Joe has an excellent ability to suggest alternative solutions during stressful situations. I would not hesitate to hire Joe again and would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a good attorney.

Lifesaver

Joseph represented me in multiple counties regarding different cases, and I could not have had a better person by my side. All paperwork was immaculate and I was always well informed about what was going on. Joseph and his staff were very helpful to me during the most challenging part of my life. I w...ould recommend him to anyone that needs a family lawyer.

Dedicated, Compassionate, and Committed Advocacy

I first met Attorney Nigh (Joe) in 2008. At the time, I was in the process of interviewing several attorneys in the Columbus / North Central Ohio area for representation in a very heated and complex child custody matter. Needless to say, during the course of my search for the right lawyer, I interv...iewed almost a dozen attorneys. As I presented my case materials and facts to each of them during initial consultations, most if not all were more concerned with how much of a deposit I would be able to place with them rather than exploring the very serious allegations of safety associated with my son's living arrangements at the time. Those who did express interest in my case, only did a cursory review of the evidence and were quick to dash my hopes of getting custody as a "father" in Ohio. Joe not only took the time to actually sit down with me for almost an hour, but was the ONLY attorney who actually took the time to actually analyze the initial facts that I provided him.....and he was honest enough to tell me that my chances of getting full residential custody would be a challenge. Throughout the next 3 years of on and off litigation, Joe continued to review copious amounts of evidence with meticulous eyes. Not only was he available to speak to me over the phone at a moment's notice, but the staff at his law firm were also there to support. Joe's sense of professionalism extended to both me and my family as we faced a very difficult moment in our lives. Joe would have the compassion to support me, but also maintain a strong sense of unbiased advocacy for my son's best interests. In the end, Joe's dedication to helping the court and the GAL to see the true facts and issues in my son's case resulted in me getting FULL RESIDENTIAL CUSTODY of my son. Joe is someone who has made an indelible mark on my son's like as well as mine. I will never forget the lengths that he and his staff have gone through over the last few years. To be honest, this was a very emotionally and monetarily trying situation as my son's custody case lasted for several years, however, the outcome in the end was well worth it. Joe's perseverance proves what a difference a dedicated attorney can make. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone, father or mother, who has need for a strong, knowledgeable, and dedicated family attorney.
