Look no further

Hiring Candace to appeal the false conviction of my OVI proved that former prosecutors are the best defenders. She knows our legal rights like the back of her hand, and exhaustively uses every in and out of them. Not only is she a skilled communicator with tough-as-nails determination, but it's obvio...us that she and her secretary genuinely care for each and every one of her clients. She goes above and beyond to accommodate with tight situations, and she keeps her word. I would recommend her to anyone as an attorney you can feel safe with.

Awesome!

I am a physician. I have had extensive exposure to lawyers over my 25-year career. Candice is one of the best attorneys I have ever met. She is pleasant, cooperative, direct, professional, intelligent, and in command. I would highly recommend her for any case and guarantee your results will be better... than any attorney that I have ever hired. I am in the middle of another case and I am calling Candice tomorrow to see if I can get her to represent me in a different court and fire my other attorney. put your trust in Candice and don't look back! You won't be disappointed

Needed advice.. I got it right away!!

Honestly Candace was there when I had NO ONE for advice. She never made me feel stupid. I don't know a lot bout courts and law.. Her patience and just and advice is priceless!! But when I was at the bottom and thought I had nowhere to go, she listened and gave me free advice on her own time.. Tha...t made me not do something stupid last night. She let me know there were options. She may think she was just doing part of the job but she saved my life. She knows the LAW, AND TALKS TO YOU LIKE A HUMAN BEING.I can't put a price in that... Thank You Candace! I will refer you for life

Excellent Lawyer!!

I hired Candice on the recommendation of fellow police officers. Too often cops get screwed in Akron because of the job and false claims made by certain "old boy' lawyers who were more concerned with padding a bill then ending a marriage. Thank god for Candice. She came in and bulldogged the case lik...e a champ and kept everything fair. All I ever wanted was a fair shake and Candice got me that. She knew answered all my questions and she new the law way better than my wife lawyer and she took him to task in court. Truthfully the "old boy" seemed scared of her. lol. If you a need a fighter thats about more than the money you can't go wrong with Candice.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
