Attorney Vanhoes review by Patricia Shelton

I met Adam approx. Almost 3 years ago unfortunately I was in shackles waiting for my name to be called. There were alot of us in the room. I seen him talking to another inmate and he caught my eye something about him...he appeared confident and treated the inmate ( his client) respectfully positiv...ely. He did not show any lack of concern or attention. I watched him for a few more minutes and then I asked someone "who is that"??! When he got closer I motioned for him that I wanted to talk to him. I td him I needed an attorney. He did not hesitate took my name and immediately represented me! I was sentenced to cbcf....he got me out of there within 4 months...it's usually a 6 month program. Al the other girls were like who's your attention can I have his number? I referred so many people to him! When my family needs an atty..without hesitation we call Adam..He's more than our atty. I feel like he's a friend. He's honest reliable he takes time to advise and gives us straight forward answers to our concerns! Hardworking and dedicated to get the best outcome for his clients and doesn't cost u outrageous fees! Thank you Adam. I know we are a pain in the butt sometimes .... just take a deep breath and ease our minds like u usually do!

Criminal Dog Case

Attorney VanHo was professional, thorough and fought for my best interest. He listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Attorney VanHo investigated information I felt was incorrect and did not pressure me to settle for an outcome I was not happy with . I was incredibly h...appy with my representation as well as the outcome of my case. I would HIGHLY recommend Adam VanHo.

Posted by John | April 23, 2015 | Child Support

Treated like family, not just another client.

Hired Adam in 2013 to handle Child related issues in Domestic Relations Court. He brought peace to the whole situation and it got resolved, quick and fairly. Decided to use Adam again when a Child Support issue was brought up. Again he brought peace to the situation and I received some undeserved mer...cy because of Adam. Have had Adam in my life helping me for nearly 3 years. He has made me feel cared for. Great man and attorney.

Failure to Communicate, Failure to Return Documents

Injured in a motor vehicle accident on 4Nov12. Engaged him in Apr13 as representation regarding any possible claims. On 4Nov13, without first consulting me, filed a Complaint in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas. Filed Motion to Dismiss case on April 30, 2014. Failed to respond to four Int...errogatories and Requests to Produce Documents. Failed to respond to Motion to Compel Discovery. Case was dismissed without prejudice on May 1, 2014. Failed to consult on the dismissal of the complaint or any further recourse to seek compensation for the damages done to me I may have had before the statute of limitations expired.
