Not recommend it for criminal defense cases.

He is a positive and likable person. He is extremely slow and my time in jail is extended because of the way he practices law.

Unprofessional and Inexperienced Lawyer

He does not know what he is doing. He is the worst lawyer I have ever met. I am almost deported because of his negligence. The form he submitted is rejected twice due to his mistakes. He wasted my time and money. He is an unprofessional lawyer.

Gratefull

Gratefull for the excellent job that the lawyer Katchmer has done, serious and too responsible with his client. He has been the only one who has taken my process with the guidelines that US laws require. Thank you, Mr. Katchmer, I will be eternally grateful.

The worst attorney ever!!!!!!

I hired Mr. Katchmer to represent me in a criminal case in clark county ohio. While he seemed knowledgeable, he wasn't representing me to the best of his ability. He claimed to be a criminal defense attorney and a prosicuting attorney who had passed the bar in not one but two states; New York and Ohi...o. During the course of my case all he had to say was everything was fine and not to worry, but he didn't keep me posted on any of the events that took place. It seemed like i was keeping him up to date and doing more research on the type of crime i was up against. After a lengthy amount of time I decided to substitute council, I chose to have Don Brezine represent me as my attorney and he did more in two months than George Katchmer did in a year.

He is a Joke

Committed perjury on the stand. Took monies and does not know how to do basic bookkeeping, or keep accurate records, Did nothing to represent my family member other then to offer hem a life senteance. Thank God the right attorney and an honest prosecutor as well as a jury who could hear and see the t...ruth vindicated my son. God will was done. Mr. Katchmer will take your money and leave you high and dry if not in a mental breakdown, Teh most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with.
