Excellent attorney Cincinnati best

Mark is a professional and caring attorney. My family has had the honor to use Mr Godbey on several occasions for cases, in which he handled diligently. He treats everyone with dignity and honesty, and respect no matter how big or small the case may be. Mr. Godbey is Cincinnati's best, he never disa...ppoints. Thank you Mark.

We had to fire him. Broke his promise to fight for us in court.Wasted our discovery time.Tried to backstab us when we complained

He wasted our 4 months discovery period by doing almost nothing. He did an inaccurate analysis of the depositions that he took on our case. He failed to inform us of our rights to a jury option. He refused to investigate that the defense and their lawyers destroyed evidence in our favor when we asked... him to do so. We ended up firing him. His replacement lawyer pointed out numerous mistakes the he made in his initial complaint to the court and charged us thousands of dollars to completely rewrite it. Godbey did not know what he was doing. When we complained to the Cincinnati Bar on him 2 months after firing him he tried to retaliate by sending us a addition bill for $1500 and claiming that we were 2 months past due in spite of his office aide telling us 2 months prior that we were competely paid up. He told a replacement lawyer private facts about our case without informed consent by us and put a negative spin on it to try to sabotage our finding a replacement.Now he's moved to Lebanon!

This is completely untrue. This gentlemen, James Everett, went through 3 lawyers before me to try to get money from a relative's estate. To begin, he isn't even the client. He was acting on behalf of his mother and aunt. When he didn't like my advice, he fired me and hired another attorney. When he inevitably lost the probate case (Hamilton County, OH Case No 2005-002414), he then sued every attorney who worked on it. He represented himself because he could not find an lawyer to take the case. Mr. Everett's suit was thrown out on Summary Judgment (Hamilton County Case No. A0703437). Unfortunately, AVVO does not have any system of due process whereby such libel can be contested or removed. Despite my efforts, AVVO refuses to remove this false comment.

Small Business -LLC

I contacted Godbey and Associates to assist me with my small business of setting up a LLC. I needed this setup in a very short period of time. I found everyone at Godbey and Associates whom assisted in the process were very professional and eager to work with at a reasonable fee. Highly Rank Godb...ey and Associates 5+ Stars...
