About Kiriakos
Biography
Kordalis Law Office, established in 2012 in Dayton, Ohio, provides skilled legal defense in criminal, federal, and traffic cases. Attorney Kordalis defends clients facing charges such as OVI/DUI, domestic violence, assault, theft, drug offenses, sex crimes, white-collar crimes, gun charges, and federal offenses like wire fraud and drug trafficking. The firm also handles personal injury and family law matters. With a client-focused approach, Kordalis Law Office delivers ethical, strategic legal solutions backed by clear communication and attention to detail—ensuring clients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the legal process.
We also understand that accidents don't just happen between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Individuals don't always get arrested during normal business hours. And when you are starting a business, that business is your life. You need someone that will be there, on your side, when you need them. I will always return your phone call or respond to your email. I can promise that if you give me the opportunity to work alongside you and if you trust me with your legal matters, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

Mr Kordalis was very professional and very knowledgeable. He informed me of all my options. He was very quick to respond to any questions. I would recommend him to anyone. He reduced my DUI charges to a plain Traffic Violation ticket!!
