Nancy Elizabeth Ohan

WORST LAWYER I HAVE EVER USED. A TOTAL WASTE OF YOUR MONEY. SHE HAS A TERRIBLE ATTITUDE AND SO DOES HER ASSSISTANT. SHE TAKES ON MORE CASES THAN SHE IS ABLE TO HANDLE. EACH TIME I WENT TO COURT I HAD TO WAIT AT LEAST THREE HOURS BEFORE SHE MADE HER APPERANCE. SHE ISNT WILLING TO WORK OUT A GOOD DEAL....

I was arrested for a class 3 felony in June. In light of a similar offense many years ago; I was in a serious situation. Because of Nancy, the case was "no-billed" at the grand jury level in November. Point blank, hire her, do not delay. Her rates are more than fair. If I'm ever in trouble aga...in I'd not only hire her without hesitation, but I'd also recommend her to family and friends. Details. I kept her mailer along with 4 or 5 others and began the background and review process. She comes from a solid school and has no disciplinary actions against her. I appreciate that she includes her picture in the mailer; as we all know, appearance matters. While many of her peers send out mailers chock full of info including their case win record; Nancy (not an assistant) responded straightaway and set a meeting. She is matter-of-fact and direct; just the way I like it. I also got the feeling that she was interviewing me as much as I was her. While she doesn't mince words when giving her professional opinion; she's not blowing smoke just to generate fees. I've read a few of the reviews in regards to her confusing her clients with others; this too happened to me. We exchanged several emails about my case for a couple weeks prior to a second meeting. When we began our second meeting to discuss strategy; I sensed that our rapport was off. She didn't lie or pretend, but rather admitted that she had me confused. She apologized, refocused and quickly went about the task at hand. I look at this as positive for a few reasons; first she has a caseload which means she's busy which also means the DA sees her often. It also means that she's honest because I don't think I'd be capable of pinpointing the cause of the awkward start of our meeting had she not informed me. Also, she seems to be far from the type of attorney that would show up for court, disheveled and fumbling through folders not knowing whom she was meeting. She wants her client to prevail or I don't believe she'd take the case. Hire her; you're in good hands. KW

For a week after bonding out of jail for a criminal offense (Class B misdemeanor), I received 40 letters from attorneys who wanted to represent me in my case. I researched each of them and Nancy Ohan ended up being the attorney I hired. And, I am incredibly thankful I hired her and not one of the o...thers. Not only was her fee reasonable, she was able to get a disposition in my case that was beyond my expectations. We could have taken a chance with a jury trial and prevailed; however, having served on juries in the past and having dealt with the types of people that end up on juries, I decided to plead to a lesser offense even though I was innocent. I am totally confident in her ability as an attorney, but far less confident in the justice system. And, the Class C misdemeanor could be expunged in a certain amount of time. Ms. Ohan is not only a very good attorney, but she is one class act as a person. I have dealt with several other attorneys in the past for criminal, civil and estate issues, and she definitely is far and above the very best. Note: I do not understand the 2 or 3 negative reviews of Ms. Ohan by some here who claim to have been her client.

Do yourself a favor and don't use her. She's hard headed and difficult to work with. Was very rude and disrespectful. If anything happened that was out of my control I got scolded and blamed for it. And she would never bother to even ask me what went wrong when problems did arise. Do yourself a favo...r and don't use her.
