From day one Joe was very knowledgeable, professional, and respectful. I hired Joe after receiving my 3rd OVI in 6 years. His knowledge of the laws, his relationship and repetition with the court staff was very impressive. He was able to get my 3 OVI refusal amended to a 1st OVI refusal. With the 3rd I was looking at 60 days to 1 yr. in jail, 1 to 5 yr. license suspension, ignition interlock, yellow plates, driving privileges after 1 yr. just for work. After Joe worked his magic I have 5 days in jail with 18 house arrest with work privileges. 24/7 driving privileges immediately with ignition interlock with NO yellow plates. Joe has saved my life. I would have lost my jobs if I had received the plates. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone. He is the best there is!
Joe did an amazing job with my case. When searching for representation, so many lawyers made me feel like there was no hope- No way out of a TERRIBLE situation. Joe took my case with open arms and said, "We are going to get this thing done." He did not disappoint. Joe was able to save my job, my relationship, and bring me closer to my family. Joe makes you feel like you can breathe when all is closing in on you. Thank you Joe for doing an AWESOME job and I would highly recommend Joe SUPERMAN Suhre.

Highly recommend
I was referred to Joe by one of my friends parents when I ended up with a DUI right before Christmas. I’ve never been in any kind of trouble before and was entirely unfamiliar with any kind of court process but he made it smooth and easy. He gave me every reason to believe that things would work out in my favor and with his help they did! He was able to get all charges reduced so I didn’t end up with a dui on my record. I highly recommend him for anyone that’s ended up in a sticky situation.

Thank you, Joe.
I am writing to express my gratitude for the exceptional work Mr. Suhre did on my case. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process.
His attention to detail and thorough understanding of the law were invaluable in guiding me through the complexities of the legal system. And his ability to communicate clearly and effectively with me, as well as with other parties involved in the case, was greatly appreciated.
I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking legal representation.

Joe Suhre: Professional, Strategic and Cares
Joe had a heavy work load and yet was able to take our case and apply real focus to it. We had frequent touchpoints, a good strategy, and he cared about us and the outcome (which was favorable!). Thank you Joe and team.

Very Supportive and Helpful
I hired Joe to represent me in a DUI case. Through the pre-trail efforts he was able to have the DUI dismissed along with other charges. Joe was very professional and helpful through the process and answered all of my questions. He was very supportive through a difficult and scary process and I would recommend him to anyone.

UTILIZATION TESTIMONY
We needed to consolidate our debt and I was looking at some options. But first we had 3,000 to 4,000 to throw at it to get some of the utilizations down to possibly get a better rate. One is an instalment loan from last summer when our HVAC failed. The payments are ridiculously almost all going to interest and we are still above 90% utilization several months later. Our FICO score taken a hug drop since we took our last summer, we couldn’t apply for anything again in the country. But all thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who came through for me. They helped me raised my credit score to (807 TransUnion, 802 Experian 805 Equifax) they also cleared all my debt and reduced my utilization. They’re the people’s Angel helping people from financial stress. You can contact them via pin[email protected] Or text them on +1 585 466 4373.

Highly Recommend Joe Suhre
I retained Joe Suhre in October 2021 after being charged with several misdemeanor charges where I was facing significant penalties including jail time and a loss of my drivers license. To say I was impressed with Joe and his team is an understatement. Joe is a very compassionate and highly skilled attorney. After seven months of court proceedings all but one minor charge have been dismissed! Words cannot express my gratitude. With the help of Joe Suhre and his team including Henri Heywood I am now able to regain my license and return to work. Highly recommended!

Great attorney and person
I started Surhe and associates with a different lawyer in the firm but she had an opportunity come up she had to take. Joe took my case no problem and it was seemless. He and his team did their due diligence and kept in constant communication even for a small case like mine. I hope I won't need legal counsel anytime soon but if I do I know who I am calling. Thank you Joe. You are a mensch.

Wonderful help for my student at Miami of Ohio
Joe was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable in every interaction we had. He assisted my son with his Minor in Possession charge as well as a destruction of property charge. He had everything resolved in a timely manner. He was recommended to me by an attorney in Michigan, so his reputation for being exceptional spans several states. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe to anyone.

DUI and DWI Attorney | Apr 28
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."
DUI and DWI Attorney | Jan 02
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."

"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."
Criminal defense Attorney | Apr 08
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."
DUI and DWI Attorney | Jan 28
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"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."
"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."
Criminal defense Attorney | Oct 28
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."
DUI and DWI Attorney | Sep 23
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."
