Won all 3 counts

Mr. Jones was very knowledgeable about the laws in Ohio. I was facing serious charges all from lies and conspiracy. NOT GUILTY thanks to all of Mr. Jones' hard work. I highly recommend him. He cares about you and real justice. He will fight to the finish and won't settle for anything less!

Case Dismissed, Brilliant Attorney!

Helped me get out of a DUI accusation. Knew the law inside and out and held strong when the prosecution wanted me to take a plea deal. Better rate than many other quotes and got the job done. Case was dismissed! Thanks again Attorney Jones!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Suspension For Term issued in OH, 2011

updated on 10/10/2019

Suspended for term means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

James’s comment:

“Only for failure to pay a fee.”

Placed On Probation issued in OH, 2011

updated on 10/11/2019

Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

James’s comment:

“Same case as suspension for failing to pay fees.”

Suspension Stayed issued in OH, 2010

updated on 10/11/2019

Suspension stayed means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements.

James’s comment:

“Same case as suspension for failing to pay fees.”

Child Support Suspension issued in OH, 2005

updated on 06/08/2013

The attorney received an Interim suspension for default on a child support order. This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice during a disciplinary investigation. The suspension typically expires when the investigation is resolved.
