Trusted Advocate in your corner!

Mr. Kettlewell handled a C&F matter for me and I couldn't have asked for better representation. Extremely diligent, knowledgeable and a well prepared course of conduct my matter from start to finish. My only regret is that I didn't hire him sooner! I started with a different counsel that wasted a ...lot of my time and money. I highly recommend Mr. Kettlewell for an ethics - professional responsibility matter as he defused an extremely stressful situation with great time and attention to my file.

Best value for your money

I had the unfortunate need to hire an attorney to represent me before a commissioner panel for the Supreme Court. I was referred to Charles, and from the minute we meet, I knew he was the best attorney for me. Charles was very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous, and always had the answer. Charles ...is definitely a top notch attorney and the man to call if you find yourself needing an ethics attorney.

Excellent Ethics Attorney

Charles Kettlewell is an excellent attorney that I would recommend to anyone with legal issues concerning ethics. Mr. Kettlewell represented me in a hearing to determine if I possessed the character and fitness necessary to sit for the Ohio bar exam. Despite the fact that I had been charged with a... number of crimes in the past (some of which were felonies that were later dismissed), Mr. Kettlewell was able to help me convey to the panel that I had changed my life and possessed the character and fitness necessary to be an attorney. His years of experience and vast knowledge guided me through the process with a successful outcome. Mr. Kettlewell was very candid with me and kept me informed every step of the way. He truly cares about his clients and understands the problems they face.

Exceptional Ethics Attorney.

I found myself thrown into a situation where i literally panicked. I thought my law license could be jeopardized. I called Charles and he handled the matter swiftly from beginning to end. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He was kind, trustorthy, knowledgable, responsive, and understanding. There... were times i called and asked him questions and others times just for reassurance; he gave me that. He went beyond and above his representation and again made me know this is a noble profession made up of wonderful people. A profession i choose to be a part of.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
