Won my criminal case

I contacted Attorney Bellew for representation about a criminal matter near Cleveland. The prosecutor would not back down, and refused to even make a decent offer to settle the case. Attorney Bellew did not back down either. We went to a jury trial, and won. It was fantastic. He filed a motion t...o dismiss the case because they took too long to bring it to trial, but the Judge ignored it. I was scared that the deck was stacked against us. But the truth won.

Beware, this guy will take your money and run

Avoid Tim Bellew at all costs. I paid him to do a simple uncontested divorce. I paid him up front to get this done. Once I got a hold if him to pay the filing fee he claimed he would file it the next week. He never did. He then mentioned he sent in the filing. He never did until I called him out abo...ut it and said I was going to contact the court. When I called, which was ten days after he said he mailed it they said he literally was just there filing 45 mins before my call. Now I cannot get him to respond to any calls or emails. This guy lies and is truly unethical. I am now wondering what to do next as I cannot afford another lawyer and I don't know what the next steps are that need to be taken. He has left me high and dry and I'm debating whether to report him to the Ohio Bar Association. I don't know what issues this so called attorney has other than ripping people off. From the other reviews it seems he likes screwing people over. Looks like I need to make a stand so people like him don't take another dime from people. He shouldn't be allowed to practice law.

He takes your money and disappears

We met twice. I gave him a down-payment for my divorce on the 1st meeting. On the 2nd meeting I gave him what we hoped would be the balance and signed affidavits. I haven't been able to reach him since and nothing has been filed. It has been 4 month. I retained another attorney to handle my divorce.

This lawyer met with me took my money and all my paperwork and never contacted us again. It's been three months of emails and phone calls now and still no response. Beware and find someone reputable.
