About John
Biography
Since earning his law degree in 1986, John K. Rinehardt has devoted his career and personal life to supporting his Ohio community.
In his vast legal experience, he has helped victims of defective products, unsafe industrial machines, reckless driving, vicious dog attacks, unguarded factory machine malfunctions, slip and falls, car wrecks caused by drunk drivers, electrocutions, nursing home neglect, and more.
John also donates his time and money to local causes, including MADD, inner-city youth basketball leagues, Mid Ohio Youth Mentoring, and DARE. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Richland County Humane Society, and, for six years, he and Hillary Rinehardt were the attorney advisors for a Lexington school mock trial team.
John is an esteemed member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. He received the Clients’ Choice Award by Avvo and the Client Distinction Award from Martindale-Hubble. In 2001, the National Board of Trial Advocacy certified John as a Civil Trial Advocate.
