I was born and raised in a small, rural town in southern Ohio. I can hardly remember a time when I did not want to be a lawyer, so I always worked toward making that dream happen. And now it is a reality. I enjoy being a lawyer because I get the oppurtunity to work with people and help guide them through difficult situations. The secret to being successful is loving what you do. I narrow the focus of my practice to be more proficient in my main practice area. My main focus is criminal defense which means I represent adults and juveniles accused of misdemeanors and felonies at trial. I also defend a lot of DUI/OWI cases and I also help people get their driver's license restored after numberous drunk driving convictions at the Secretary of State. I also practice family law but mostly adoptions.
On a more personal note, I have a lot of hobbies and interests that I enjoy pursuing. I love American History, current events, movies, performing magic, and sports, namely following my beloved Cincinnati Reds. I am also very active in my church and community. it is very rewarding to be involved and give back.
I hope you've enjoyed learning about me and thank you for visiting my page. If there is anything we can help you with do not hesitate to let us know. We are here to serve you!

Best Attorney ever!
I am a successful adult. I have hired many attorneys for different reasons in my life. Defense attorneys, divorce attorneys, civil attorneys, etc. Jared Austin is the best I've ever dealt with. Amazing attention to detail, great communication, and excellent results. He will be my personal attorney for many years to come.

Hunting violation
He was able to get my charge reduced which in turn saved me from paying large fines. What could have cost me over 7,000 dollars I only ended up paying 325.

Informative, caring; overall excellent lawyer
Choosing Mr. Austin was a great decision! He got back to me the day after I called him and was very knowledgable about MIPS and how to handle them. He did everything he could to lower my sentence, and got a second MIP off my record. With very reasonable prices as well, i'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer!

Very professional, and actually care about helping people
Jared is a great attorney, who is very ethic and trustworthy, and really care about helping people through difficult situations. I called him for a second offense misdemeanor, he helped me drop the case to a littering ticket, and also encourage me to seek for therapy to help my well-being. He is a truly diligent attorney, I'm really glad I could find him as my attorney.

Great attorney to assist with Michigans pathetic gun laws
About a third of the cost of John Freeman, and Scott Grabel. With better results. If you get a felony gun charge in Michigan, for nothing more than carrying a loaded weapon, as is the law in that miserable, broke, money hungry police dept, and state...Hire Jared Austin. He got my felony dropped to a misdemeanor charge, and probation. And apparently that state doesnt usually give a break to anyone out of state, that doesnt know their laws

Difficult Adoption
Mr. Austin was always prompt in contacting us regarding court needed paperwork and court dates. He also went above and beyond in dealing with this unusual adoption case. Dealing with the Probate and Clerks offices with this case would have been a nightmare, but Mr. Austin muddled though it. We could not have done this adoption without his help.
