A Real liar and all around POS of an Public Defender

If you're love one finds themselves facing serious charges in jail or otherwise and is assigned Donald Hicks, please ask the judge to have him removed off his or her case. This man repeatedly lies and could care less about your loved ones. He will not answer calls or requests for visits. If you in...nocent he will always push for you to take a deal regardless. My experience with this man was very less than favorable. Then when all the money is exhausted from the case, he will simply just quit. Do Not Waste Your Time!!! If you get Donald Hicks, You or your loved ones are going to prison for a long time. Period!

Kindness and compassion in a system usually lacking it.

Don was the best experience I ever had with a lawyer. He would show up to the jail when most lawyers would be home not even thinking about their clients. He went above and beyond for me since day one. Highly recommend.

One of the best

I had him for a recent case my parents retained him for me and he worked hard and knows what he's talking about. He's so gentle andSoft spoken yet so fierce . He came every week to the county for 2 months (sometimes just to check on me.) usually late at night and even on easter. He doesn't judge or ...intimidate-like some others can . I started off with a F1 manufacturing and he got it reduced to f4 attempted illegal assembly! He Got me into a program when sentenced kept me out of prison and with my daughter

One of the absolute best in the city of Akron bar none

Attorney Donald Hicks is in my opinion one of the best defense lawyers in the city of akron oh. I've never seen a pubic defender with as much heart and understanding. He not only came to see me in the county way after hours to talk to me about my case, he also pleaded my case down to a misdemeanor (...even though I shouldn't have been in there in the first place but that's how the legal system works) he's one of the best and winnest lawyers in the city and a very understanding honest and kind person. I truly am grateful to have had him as my counsel

Great person

I hired Don to help with defending me in a domestic violence case that was really self defense. He was very kind and understanding and a hard worker. What he said would probably happen did. I am so grateful to him for helping me and my family through this horrible thing.
