Powerhouse in bankruptcy matters

Attorney Sleibi helped explain the complex bankruptcy code in a manner anyone can understand and helped make the decision making process an enjoyable learning experience enjoyable! I would highly recommend contacting him for any consumer, criminal, or other legal issues.

"Jalal Sleibi is my go-to lawyer for criminal/OVI and bankruptcy matters, as I do not practice in those areas. When clients of mine need a referral in those areas, I send them to Mr. Sleibi without hesitation. I have followed up with them and they report being very, very satisfied with Mr. Sleibi's work.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2015.

Suspended For Term, Placed On Probation issued in OH, 2015

updated on 04/27/2017

This status means that an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a specific period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires. During the probation period, the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Jalal’s comment:

“This sanction was in no way law related or had anything to do with my ability or competency to practice law and it did not involve any dispute of client funds. I am a highly experienced attorney that strives and has acheived excellent results for my clients. My clients have expressed their complete satisfaction with my representation which is expressed to me by the hundreds of people who are referred to me by former clients.”
