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.

Solid attorney

When I was facing 2- 30 mths. in prison with a public defender for multiple lifetime offense and no one showing compassion, I turned to Mr.Quinn. He and his team not only showed me true compassion, they worked with me through the entire process. I am grateful for the " time in my life" saved due to t...heir diligence in seeing through the charges and getting to know who I truly am, a God fearing man who made a horrible choice. I would recommend him and his team to anyone.

Great is an understatement! This guy works miracles. Highly recommended and one of the best to do it. Top 2 and definitely not #2

He is the BEST!

Mr. Quinn is your guy. Make sure you elect him as your legal representative. He worked wonders for me during this pandemic. I am out of state and he truly knows what to do and cares for his clients. Thank you so much Mr. Quinn. You and Rob are top of the line.

Patrick Quinn is a stand up lawyer!

I had the unfortunate experience of being pulled over for an OVI nearly a year ago and didn't know where to turn. My event happened on a Saturday, and I had a court case set for Tuesday of the following week. With very little time to prepare I had a difficult time getting anyone to see me and felt ...as if there was nowhere I could turn until I contacted Patrick. Not only did he contact me right away but he had arranged to meet with me Sunday (the very same day) to hear my case whereas others didn't even return my phone calls. After a few court dates Patrick had successfully worked with the court to drop my charge to a lesser one, minimizing my fines and keeping a nasty charge off of my driving record indefinitely. I would highly recommend giving Patrick a call, he is a top notch lawyer with the know-how to properly defend your case!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
