John Michael Felter

Attorney Felter has had success for his clients in multiple areas of litigation, winning cases and obtaining favorable settlement agreements in domestic relations cases, civil cases, and OVI and criminal cases in the appellate, common pleas, and muncipal courts of Ohio.  Additionally, he's successfully litigated for clients in front of administrative pannels in Ohio, such as county tax boards, child support agencies, and uneployment commissions.

A large part of Attorney Felter's practice is domestic relations litigation, in which he regularly obtains favorable property and custody/visitation settlements for his clients.  Notably, in the past year he's successfully advocated for parents looking to protect their children from unstable ex-spouses/partners with psychological and/or substance abuse problems.  In two separate cases, he successfully petitioned the Court for a change of custody on behalf of the father due to the fact that the mothers, who had custody prior to each respective case being filed, were unstable and unfit to have custody of the children.  In two other cases, Attorney Felter advocated on behalf of two mothers, successfully petitioning the Court to terminate the fathers' visitation and contact with their children due to their respective instability and substance abuse.

Additionally, Attorney Felter has obtained several notable criminal plea bargains for his clients, including an attempted murder and felonious assault case which resulted in his client being placed on probation instead of prison; a first degree felony rape that Attorney Felter was able to get dismissed outright; and a felony OVI/DUI case which Attorney Felter was able to reach a plea deal in which his client did not recieve any jail time, despite the fact that this was the client's 7th lifetime OVI and that he had served 6 months in prison on his last OVI.

Attorney Felter has recieved numerous awards from national and state legal honors groups, and is very active in the community outside of work, serving on various non-profit and philanthropic community boards.
