Super Attorney

First and foremost, I am deeply grateful for the exceptional service provided by Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Bossin. Throughout my experience, these gentlemen consistently demonstrated honesty, courtesy, and unwavering support. I found myself in an extraordinarily challenging situation, and their expertis...e ensured the best possible outcome at every stage. While I do not wish to trivialize the circumstances, the manner in which they approached my case reminded me of a scene from the TV show Suits. Yet, they did so with the utmost integrity and professionalism. I entered this process facing a serious charge—a high BAC OWI involving a firearm (a felony). However, due to the remarkable negotiation skills of my attorneys, we achieved an extraordinary reduction to a much less severe misdemeanor on both counts. While I took proactive steps to address my substance abuse issues, it was only through the strategic efforts of Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Bossin that such a favorable outcome was possible. I was treated with respect and dignity at all times, something I had never experienced in past legal matters. In addition to their legal expertise, they provided invaluable guidance outside the courtroom, offering sound life advice to help ensure this situation would not repeat itself. Their genuine concern for my well-being is something I will always appreciate. Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Bossin are highly respected in both the legal field and the broader community in Ohio. They worked tirelessly on my behalf and achieved results that far exceeded my expectations. Most importantly, they were instrumental in alleviating the burden I placed on my family. Their efforts resulted in an outcome that we are all immensely grateful for. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Bossin to anyone in need of legal counsel. Their expertise and commitment to achieving the best results can truly make a life-changing difference.

Great attorney. Great person.

I was involved in situation in Dec 2023. Ken went above and beyond and was able to handle situation. Without his knowledge and careful review I was about to get everything resolved. I can not thank him enough for his time and knowledge. He also is a great person who truly cares and is straight to t...he point. I could not ask for a better attorney.

Excellent Attorney

My father contacted Ken Bossin when I was involved in a driving incident that had the potential of leaving me with a suspended license. Since we had never had the need for an attorney in this kind of matter, we were at a complete loss as to how to proceed. A relative supplied us with the names of sev...eral possible attorneys, one of whom introduced us to Mr. Bossin. When my father spoke with Mr. Bossin on the phone, we immediately stopped our search, being thoroughly impressed with the breadth of his knowledge and the depth of his experience. We found him approachable and very easy to work with. Throughout the period of moving this through the court system he was very clear about his goals and what he would need on my part to back up the case he was presenting. He was scrupulously honest and settled on a tactic that seemed fair and appropriate. Happily, the case was resolved exactly as we had hoped. Moreover, when a minor glitch arose with the DMV after the court proceedings, Mr. Bossin immediately took action and intervened to obtain a court order that set things straight. I highly recommend Mr. Bossin and think that anyone needing clear and effective assistance would do well to work with him.

Could not ask for a better lawyer

In October of 2023, I found myself in a situation that I would’ve never imagined being in. As a person who doesn’t even have as much as a parking ticket on my record, I was charged with theft from a local grocery store. My case was unique as I didn't intentionally take any items from the store, but w...as instead provided incorrect information by a store employee. Ken took the time to truly understand the circumstances and details of the sequence of events that actually happened and did not stop his work until the charges against me were dismissed. In all of the research that I did before deciding to hire an attorney, I did not see a single instance when charges like mine were just dismissed outright. Typically, for first time offenders the best outcome to a case like mine is being offered a diversion program in exchange for the charges being dropped. Even when the prosecutor offered me the opportunity to compete the diversion program, Ken still went to battle on my behalf and argued the facts of the case until the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the charges. I truly could not have asked for a better outcome or better representation. Ken was on my side every step of the way and I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel, as you will not find someone who puts more time or effort into your case and truly cares about the outcome.

The Best

Ken Bossin is just the kind of lawyer you want on your side, because he is truly on your side – you are not just another case to shuffle through the process. His attention to detail, his understanding of the technicalities of OVI prosecution and defense, and his relationships among the legal and judi...cial community are second to none. First, his attention to detail requires you, the client, to actively own your case and your responsibility – you are in trouble and the way forward is honesty and acknowledgement of all the circumstances that led you to seek his counsel. Second, his understanding of the technicalities of OVI issues, his pursuit of procedural detail, and peer recognition of his authority in these matters, can lead to beneficial negotiated outcomes. Third, his professional relationships and local experience give his honest appraisal of extenuating or redeeming circumstances great weight where it matters most: prosecutors and judges trust Ken’s straightforward pursuit of an equitable outcome. In short, there are “ambulance chasers” and there is Ken Bossin. You come to him because you have sought the best advocate for your cause, and in Ken Bossin you have found it.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Sep 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I Strongly endorse this lawyer. Not only is he an excellent trial lawyer, he is the ONLY lawyer who I would let handle an appeal. For those of you who are not Lawyers, this is what it means: ken tells the trial judge what the law requires of them (the court), if they don't do it, he goes to the "higher level" and tells them what the trial judge did wrong. Again, if/when I have a case that should be appealed I call Ken Bossin !"

"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyers contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyers work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."
