Highly Satisfied

Mr. Sinn was able to keep me from incarceration. He was able to do so by arguing that treatment would be more suitable for someone in my position. I was then provided with an opportunity to handle my issues from within the community, instead of from a prison cell. I am extremely grateful for thi...s, and would enthusiastically recommend his services to anyone.

Best OVI lawyer in town

I got charged with an OVI on St. Patrick's. My job requires that I have a clean record and I was terrified of losing everything. My brother in law is a highway patrolman so I asked him who the best lawyer was in the area. He said John Sinn is the only lawyer that makes the cops sweat. I guess at the... Patrol Academy they called John the boogeyman. Im so glad i listened. John was able to show the cop didn't do the road tests correctly and I got a reckless operation charge instead. Job saved! Worth every penny.

Goes above and beyond

Jon Sinn is a fantastic attorney! Never having to face a legal matter before I was frightened and he was there! Jon took the time to explain my situation to me and was honest, compassionate and knowledgeable. This man goes above and beyond to pursue justice! I am totally amazed and so very thankf...ul for the sucessful results he produced in my case! I am highly recommending him to everyone!

DUI Easily Reduced

Jon did a phenomenal job getting my DUI reduced down to a Physical Control. Being that I live out of state he made it as simple as possible for me to not have to travel back and forth to handle this stressful situation. Even the workers at the Barberton Court House talked very highly of him and sai...d I picked one of the best attorneys in the area to represent me. If you don't pick Jon, you are putting yourself at risk to the system. He took my calls or texts all of the time and made sure I had up to date and accurate information at all times. Thanks Jon for your hard work and dedication to my case! -RP in FL

OVI

John went above and beyond what I expected. I was facing two drug charges and ovi and ended up with no drug charges and a physical control. No points on my license. I am extremely thankful that John was recommended to me and he did an outstanding job. He was always available to answer any questions I... had. The process was easier because of him and I never thought the outcome would have been what it was.

"I HIGHLY recommend Jon Sinn. I have known Jon Sinn for many years but have recently been able to work with him on DUI/OVI and drug cases. Jon is TOP NOTCH! His ability to construct skillfully crafted arguments is a talent very few lawyers have. His years of experience as a previous prosecutor ensures both sides of arguments are covered when going to trial. If I was busted by the fuzz...I definitely would give him a buzz!!!!"
