Did not represent me well!!

Mr. Laybourne and did not represent me well during my trial. It was lay down case! I believe because he was friends with attorney that referred me, allegedly, I believe he lost my trial on purpose. Now I'm looking for a transcript of my trial, and he will not return my call. He did not subpoena anyon...e, he tried to argue the law instead of the facts. They were strange things that happened during my trial that I see now that I didn't see then. He knew the story and would not let me get on the stand to tell it. I was found guilty for a crime that I did not commit.

DWI

Jeff's knowledge of and familiarity with the Akron court system proved invaluable. I believe he reached the best possible resolution for me, given the predicament I was in. He was patient, insightful, up front and honest throughout the entire process.

I don't trust ANYONE else with my legal matters. Hands down, Jeff is keeping the integrity of the Laybourne name.

I ran into some trouble going through a bad time in my life, devastating loss of family, marriage crumbling. I didn't know which way was up. Not only did Jeff snap me back to reality when I needed it, but he went to bat for me, getting me an opportunity to keep my name free of a felony and potential ...prison time. Not once, but twice. When I screwed up the first chance, he still knew what rights and sections of the law he could use in court to get me another chance another route and keep me from doing prison time. When a close member of my family was facing a very elicit charge and potentially damaging to their name and reputation, Jeff was there, doing what he does best. He got a VERY fair judgement that spared them from jail or prison time, but also protected their name and dignity. My family has trusted Laybourne Law for more than 30 years because of their exceptional work ethic, straight-forward communication and diligence towards EVERY case & legal matter. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my legal matters. Jeff is no exception to his family's legacy. He takes charge when you need him to, a commanding presence in the courtroom, he's respected by judges and prosecutors alike AND an expert in his field. He's exactly who you want standing up for you and representing you in court. I do, without hesitation! I recommend Jeff and Laybourne Law to anyone who asks. Thank you for always doing right by me and my family Jeff & Rusty!
