My name is Joe Suhre - and I am committed to DUI defense. I am a graduate of Xavier University where I received a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I continued my legal education at the University of Cincinnati where I received my Juris Doctorate.
I am licensed to practice in Ohio, Kentucky and the United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio.
Cincy Magazine named me leading lawyer in the field of DUI defense every year since 2006, one of the longest running honors bestowed by the magazine.
The Leading Lawyer Award includes the prominent and powerful legal minds of the Greater Cincinnati Area. Hundreds of members from the Greater Cincinnati legal community nominate colleagues for this honor. Nominees are judged by a jury of peers to ensure fairness and impartiality.

Mr. Joe Suhre went above and beyond any expectations I could have had for an attorney. He explained everything to me as well as possible in Layman's terms and put in countless hours reviewing and figuring everything out. I cannot thank Mr. Suhre enough for the work that he and his firm did for me. ...

Waiting three days for an attorney to return your call can be agonizing. Then I remembered Joe Suhre . I called Joe and he called me back in minutes. Joe made me feel confident my case could be resolved. I can’t tell you the sense of relief I felt! Then Joe - with Michael Allen Jr -continued his...
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Joe and I went to law school together. He is a great guy and a better lawyer. He gives his complete attention and effort to his client's interests. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a hard working, diligent, and aggressive legal advocate."
"Joe Suhre has always demonstrated adherence to the highest ethical standards, vast knowledge of the law and criminal justice system, and superior client service. I strongly endorse Joe."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
