Great lawyer! I worked with Mr. Cartwright- Jones a year ago and he was exceptional in helping me dismiss my traffic ticket. Most recently, I contacted Mr. Cartwright Jones for another ticket and he was very kind to give me a referral as my ticket was in Pomeroy, OH. Simply the best.
"I have known Rhys since we began law school and I am happy to endorse him for his breadth of knowledge and his level of detail to the facts. I have no doubt that his clients are very happy with the services he provides them and future clients will be glad they found him."
"I have had the pleasure of facing Rhys as an Asst. Prosecutor, as well as working with him defending criminal cases. He is a very diligent, intelligent, principled, hard-working, and ethical lawyer. He enjoys strong personal relationships with his clients, which is always a good sign in this profession. I think he is a credit to the Youngstown legal community and the Judges really like him as well. You would be well-represented to have Atty. Rhys Cartwright-Jones as your lawyer!"
