Mr. Bohner is the Real Deal!

Mr. Bohner represented my daughter in a Criminal Defense case where the charge was a very serious felony. My daughter was not involved in the crime, but was arrested for it. Mr. Bohner was very professional, and knowledgeable. He treated my daughter and the rest of the family with respect. He always ...made us aware of the case status and went above and beyond to ensure that we were informed and understood what was going on. Del Bohner is an excellent attorney who I trust and would recommend to others in need of a criminal Defense attorney. He not only kept my daughter calm and comfortable during the trial, but he made sure that she was informed and aware of every situation during the process. As a family we worked closely with Mr. Bohner for 10 long months, he repeatedly told my daughter to just be truthful and everyone would see that she was being honest.Tthe end result was that my daughter was found NOT GUILTY! We as a family could not have been more fortunate when it came to an attorney and we would absolutely use Del Bohner again if we were have a reason for criminal defense. He is the real deal!

"Del and I were co-defendant counsel on a monster of a trial, six co-defendant gang homicide where every defendant made hours of statements and the facts were compelling for the prosecution. Del's courtroom demeanor is remarkable and his knowledge of the law is immediately apparent. He is a true professional and through hard work and consistent aggressive litigation, the jury hung on all six. I look forward to working with Del again, and I fully endorse him."
