Michael Zimmerman, DUI and DWI Attorney on Apr 28, 2014
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
Joe Suhre is a hard working and brilliant criminal litigator. As a former county prosecutor I can say that no one had a better reputation than Joe and no one made me work harder to present the State's case. When I left the county prosecutor's office I joined Joe's firm, where I litigated along side him for a year. From that perspective I was able to see his tremendous dedication to his clients first hand. I have since returned to active duty military service, but the best endorsement I think a lawyer can give to another lawyer is to say "I would hire him". If I was in trouble I would hire Joe Suhre.
Charles Rittgers, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 2, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Joe and his partners are attorneys on the cutting edge of DUI defense. Their knowledge, dedication, and hard work results in successful outcomes for their clients. I highly endorse Joe in the area of DUI/OVI defense.
Peter Le, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 3, 2014
Relationship: Co-worker
I endorse attorney Joe Suhre. Mr. Suhre is a seasoned and accomplished attorney. He knows his trade. He is dedicated to his clients, and enthusiastically works to achieve the best results for his clients. Mr. Suhre would be a great hire.

Nadine Jett, Criminal defense Attorney on Apr 8, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. This lawyers contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyers work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information.
Ronald Burdge, DUI and DWI Attorney on Jan 28, 2012

Attorneys know each other's reputations perhaps better than the general public does. Attorney Suhre has a great reputation for his years of strong advocacy, terrific knowledge of the law, and his care and concern for his clients. His web site has lots of information and he's been recognized repeated by local consumer magazine reviewers as being the best at what he does. If you need his help, I highly recommend him to you.
William Strubbe, DUI and DWI Attorney on Dec 30, 2010
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I refer all my DUI and criminal cases to him, and he always does an excellent job. He is as good as it gets.
Carl Spector, DUI and DWI Attorney on Dec 14, 2010

Mr. Shure is an excellent DUI attorney. He takes the time to understand the needs of his clients. Joe Shure finds useful and creative ways to apply the law to his clients cases that benefit his clients. I strongly recommend Joe Shure.
Edward McTigue, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 28, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer's work. I think Joe is an excellent attorney, always prepared and always ready to accept any challenge. Additionally, and probably more importantly, he has a demeanor that allows him to accomplish more than most lawyers are able to accomplish. I would give him the highest rating.
David Wagner, DUI and DWI Attorney on Sep 23, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have had the opportunity to watch Mr. Suhre's work for several years in the Hamilton County court system. His background in law enforcement, diligence on behalf of his client, and thorough understanding of the law, is unparalleled in our community. When I have a question regarding OVI law, he is absolutely the first attorney I seek out. He is respectful to clients, judges, and prosecutors and he has clearly earned the respect of all those who deal with him. I strongly endorse Joe Suhre.
