Pat helped me with a legal problem

I had a first time legal problem, several charges including a charge of OVI. Once I looked into the severity of consequences facing me I knew I needed an attorney. Pat is a long time attorney in this area so I recognized his name. Within hours of my first call to his office he was sitting in my livin...g room explaining what I was up against and what he'd do to fight the charges. He was confident he could help and I believed him. He filed motions to get my driving privileges back. Then we had to go to court several times. Each time he handled everything personally. At my final hearing the judge remarked that Pat had fought hard on my behalf. The end result? Some fines, court costs and no points against my license. Every case is different. But that's what Pat did for me. Plus, his fees are competitive.

DUI was reduced to physical control

I was charged with a DUI and domestic violence. Everything was dropped to physical control. I am in the oil field profession so my career would have been damaged. Mr.Quinn also represented my girlfriend in the domestic dispute ,her charges were dismissed. My girlfriend is going through a sensitive ti...me in her life and he was able to give her some information and advice to help her through this. I would highly recommend Mr.Quinn in any case. He is very down to earth and easy to talk to. Thank you Mr. Quinn

An Expert in DUI / OVI Law

Integrity, knowledgeable, confidence, genuine and results oriented; Attorney Patrick Quinn is a dedicated professional in his field. He represented me on a case that was complicated, embarrassing and painful for my family and I. He was extremely responsive and kept me informed about what to expect,... what our options were and how we should plan our approach. He impressed me profoundly with his candor, integrity, knowledge and conduct. He was very professional and sincere with the Judge and opposing council. I believe his nearly 40 years of experience and highly developed skill set allowed our case to resolve smoothly and quickly. I felt confident and safe with Mr. Quinn handling my case and quite frankly, he has earned my trust implicitly. The final results of my case positively exceeded my expectations. As a man, he is genuine and forthright, dependable and trustworthy and declares positive results. Let me repeat that; he declares positive results. His positive attitude, affirmative thinking and sound approach are like a breath of fresh spring air. I am very fortunate to have found an authoritative Attorney like Mr. Quinn and am a better man for having met him. He is an exceptional Attorney and human being. I highly , highly recommend him.

Highly Recommended

I recently employed Mr. Quinn to defend me against an OVI charge, and would heartily recommend his services to anyone in the same unfortunate position. I was first impressed that he answered his cell phone on a Saturday afternoon and was willing to discuss my case, and then go out of his way to meet ...with me on a Sunday afternoon. Upon first meeting, I was somewhat skeptical of what I initially considered to be an almost extreme sense of overconfidence or even bravado, but in time he proved every bit of it to be completely warranted. Never did he make a claim or promise he did not eventually deliver upon, beyond my expectations. As I live out of state, Mr. Quinn handled all hearings for me in my absence, and resolved the entire case for me without my ever needing to re-enter the state of Ohio. My charge was reduced, suspension dismissed, and minimal fines applied. After months of worry and uncertainty, Mr. Quinn delivered on absolutely everything he said he could, and I am extremely grateful. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone in similar need.

The Best Lawyer in Ohio

I was traveling on business in Ohio and was arrested for a DUI. This was on a weekend and I was leaving the state the next day. I called many attorneys and no one called me back. Then I found Patrick Quinn’s office. Patrick returned my phone call and was able to get all the information needed from me... that day before I left. He also handled my case without me being present since I lived 3000 miles away. I have a disability and could not pass the DUI test given by the arresting officer. I was pretty upset about this and refused to take a breath test. It was not looking good for me because a DUI could get me fired from my job. Patrick immediately made me feel better on the phone explaining to me my rights. He also was comforting and understanding. I felt like I knew the man my whole life. When court time came he did not take any of their tricks and refused to settle with the first court. Then the case got transferred to a higher court. He had collected a lot of evidence by then in my favor. The court seen this and offered me a plea bargain. The DUI was dismissed and I got off with a minor charge and a fine. Not living in the state of Ohio this was the best thing for me to do. I would highly recommend Patrick to represent you. He will get you the best defense you can possibly get.
