Above and beyond

Mr. Dowell is an excellent lawyer with calm mannerism, great experience, expertise, patience and care who achieved a great result in our juvenile court case. He started working with us before charges were even filed, helped guide our steps, and reaffirmed our decisions to achieve the best result. Mo...st of all I appreciated his responsiveness and dependability. He answered texts and phone calls in a timely manner, was always available for questions and concerns. He was always on time. He kept us well informed of procedures, times, down to the smallest detail of what to wear to court. Mr. Dowell went above and beyond helping to make a stressful situation smooth running. If I needed to, I would hire him again without any doubt.

Best lawyer in Ohio! Hire him now!

Mr. John Dowell saved my life. I was accused and charged with a crime I never committed. It was a felony that could have destroyed my life, but after Mr. Dowell looked at my case he said it wasn't right and he could fight for me and help fix/minimize the issue. I was very ill before/when accused and ...during the entire court process. He was very caring and compassionate. Mr. Dowell made sure nothing bad ever happened to me. He realized what a sham the accusation was and got me a deal that was a major reduction with no jail time and a very low fine. We only took a deal due to my fragile health. If I was able to be in court daily I'm fully confident that Mr. Dowell would have won the case and I wouldn't have ever had even a misdemeanor on my record. He went above and beyond to calm me down and answer any questions I had no matter how silly. Mr. Dowell is a stand up gentleman that will fight for his client till the bitter end. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone and everyone who will ever need an attorney.

Helped a over the road trucker big time!

I am a truck driver from Chicago and I took a wrong turn on a residential street while heading to my delivery. The cop didn't care that I was half a mile away from the delivery and wrote me the moving violation. For a trucker moving violations are very bad for insurance, we need to keep our record cl...ean. I Found Mr. Dowell online and not only did he charge me a good rate, he also made it so I did not have to appear in court with him as I am 400 miles away. Long story short the moving violation got reduced to a minor equipment violation which did not go on my record. I am extremely happy with the outcome and I think Mr. Dowell did an outstanding job. Thank you very much!
