Kaos

Unbeknownst to me the state of Ohio put a warrant out for my arrest on a woman's claims that I abused her and I had no knowledge that this warrant was even out. Only after applying for a job and having a background check was I aware of this. I didn't even realize it was legal for them to do that with...out notifying you. I have to say Pat stepped up to the plate for me got things taken care of and my case was dismissed. Best possible result. I may add I am from out of state so it was extremely difficult for me to keep up what was going on I could not have done it without Pat Quinn, excellent attorney. Gets right to the point.

High Recommendation

Patrick Quinn is very knowledgeable in his field. He did everything in his power to lesson my charge. He understands the impact this can have on your career and is very discreet. He is also well connected which helps because he knows a lot of the "right" people. I had to put all my trust in him a...nd he came through!

The reviews are true

So Feb 2018 I was involved in an accident. Someone made an illegal turn in front of me, and we collided. To make matters worse, I had just left the bar with someone coworkers. As a result, while I was in the hospital, my BAC was high and I was charged with aN OVI. After reading through the various la...ws concerning OVI in Ohio, I became very nervous. I didn’t know what to expect, because this was my first time ever. After appearing in court, the judge advised me to obtain a lawyer due to the severity of the incident. This increased my anxiety that much more. So the minute I left, I began a google search. Read some reviews, and called around. It’s tough choosing a attorney. I came across Pat Quinn, and his law firm, the reviews really caught my attention, because others had similar situations. Therefore, I decided to hire Pat. From day one, he eased my pain by thoroughly explaining my options, and his plan of action. He didn’t make any promises he didn’t keep. His knowledge of case law, sobriety field testing, forensic testing, etc astounded me. HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. When I say they overwhelmed the prosecutor with their extensive research of the case, and mishandling of evidence my charges ended up being dropped to a physical control. No DUI, no suspension, no jail, no hefty fine, all in 7 months. The reviews I read were true, and so is mines. BELIEVE ME, IF YOURE FACING A DUI HIRE HIM. It is worth every penny. Thank you so much Pat. Btw he even gave me his cell to reach him after hours if I needed to talk, he is awesome!

DUI charge

I found Pat online when looking for a highly reviewed attorney. Without going into my case details, Pat was a strong attorney who represented my interests without fail. He is personable, responsive, and fights hard on your behalf. His support staff appeared to be very competent and on top of everythi...ng. Pat also had good instincts on when to push hard and be aggressive as well as when to take it easy and let things play out. He never waivered with the prosecution and ensured I reached a settlement before things ever reached court. He had done many of these cases so he has the foresight to avoid any potential problems and file any necessary motions very early on to stay ahead of the game. I was impressed from start to finish with his services. I am a very straightforward person and I appreciated Pat’s no nonsense approach. He was always very frank and clear with me, and he always responded to phone calls. Pat is a straight shooter with high integrity, and he is the man you want in your corner when you have hit a rough patch or made a mistake in your life. No regrets in goig to Quinn Legal Services to handle my OVI charge that got reduced to a 4 point moving violation.

BEST DUI Lawyer!

Mr. Quinn did an EXCELLENT job representing and defending me with my DUI case. In August 2017, I made a poor decision to drive home after having some drinks with friends. I was pulled over by a State Trooper and failed the sobriety testing, handed over my driver's license and given an OVI. I was FR...EAKING OUT because I work in the medical field and an OVI on my record could have been the end of my career that I worked so hard and put in many, many years to achieve. I looked online for a DUI attorney in Cleveland, read all the reviews and quickly called Mr Quinn. I'm so happy I did! I have never been in trouble before so I did not know what to expect with the court hearings. I work full time so Mr. Quinn kindly sent lawyers from his office to the first two hearings on my behalf. Mr. Quinn also gave me his personal cell phone number. Being so worried about possibly losing my career over my mistake, I am sure I over called him with questions. He always called me back and reassured me that things were going to be alright. In the courtroom, he was clearly well respected and known in the Cleveland Municipal Court. Thankfully, Mr Quinn was able to get my OVI dropped to a physical control. I had my driver's license suspended for 6 months, attended 3 MADD meetings (very informative and eye-opening real life stories) and attended a 3-day DIP program. I'm very thankful that my poor choice did not result in an accident and no one was hurt. I learned my lesson from the whole experience. I have not had a single drink of alcohol since being pulled over by the cop. Mr. Quinn is a wonderful DUI lawyer whom I would recommend to ANYONE who finds themselves in a similar situation.
