Michael Joseph Lerner

Michael Lerner was assigned to my case when I applied for a public defender in Delaware County Ohio for a felony charge (child support issue) and I was immediately impressed at how diligent and attentive he was. Despite my inability to pay for any legal defense (hence why I had to apply for a public ...defender), he took a genuine interest in my case and spent a great deal of time carefully explaining how he intended to defend me and what to expect once we went to court. On the day of my court appearance, Mr. Lerner clearly put considerable effort into my defense. While public defense attorneys often seem go the easiest route of a quick plea bargain, Mr. Lerner went out of his way to ensure that my side of the story was thoroughly explained and thanks to his efforts, I was able to avoid the possibility of a one year prison sentence as well as a reasonable arrangement to finally pay off by child support debt. I was extremely impressed (not to mention very grateful) at how he defended me as though I were a paying client. It's truly refreshing to find an attorney who cares about getting the best possible outcome for a client regardless of their financial situation. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Lerner to anyone who is in need of a competent dedicated defense attorney. I could not be more pleased with the quality of his services!
