I like to appreciate and thank you attorney Shawn and his team for your fast response and professionalism when I needed your services two of my unfortunate/desperate times . I am totally satisfied with your services. I recommend any one who needs legal representation to hire Shawn Dominy as your lawyer. I assure you will not be disappointed .
Bryan was a great attorney, very informative and knows what he is talking about when it comes to driving laws and possible outcomes. Also makes it a very smooth process when working with clients. Helped my case tremendously.
After a consultation with Shawn, I was assigned to Bryan Hawkins as my defense attorney for an OVI case in Fairfield county. Although my defense case was very strong, I lost and was referred by Bryan to another attorney to appeal my case. After a total of 16 months and $8000, I lost again. Here’s my assessment of Bryan Hawkins as my defense attorney. Pros 1. Bryan is a decent attorney. He is responsive, and seems to be genuinely interested in his clients welfare. Cons 1. Bryan is not very assertive / aggressive in his arguments. I think any defense attorney should be working for a slam dunk / knock out on behalf of his client if he really hopes to win! 2. Bryan has little to no rapport with Fairfield country prosecutors and/or judges… which in essence is what it is all about. He should have stated this to me upfront. 3. After observing how the Judge co-signed the prosecutors case and dismissed all defense motions and arguments, Bryan recommended that I plead no-contest and appeal the case with the assistance of another attorney that he referred me to.(another $4000) The Ohio Court of Appeals literally followed suit/affirmed the lower court decision - almost in a cut and paste fashion - totally ignoring any of the defense arguments made by this new attorney…. Prosecutorial case in both courts were very mediocre and did not address the defense arguments however the Judges still co-signed them unilaterally. I realize a defense attorney cannot guarantee a win…. but they can be honest about their limitations. I asked Shawn and Bryan upfront about their experience in Fairfield county in which both affirmed they had experience. An honest consultation of when and if you should simply cut your losses, and plead guilty should be provided. In sum, I really feel like I’ve been taken for a very expensive ride financially, mentally and emotionally. 16 months and $8000 later and I’m worse off than I would have been than if I would have just plead guilty upfront and not retained an attorney.
I am a visiting Grandfather spending time with family. I. was charged OVI. I talked with Shawn and he explained Ohio law. He was very calming, professional and informative. I recommend Shawn for any legal issues.
Shawn is a wonderful person and an elite Attorney. Being represented by him gives you complete peace of mind knowing you are in good hands, with someone very well educated and rehearsed in the legal process. Not only is he going to get you the best legal outcome, he is very honest, understanding, supportive, flexible, etc. I know a lot of Lawyers in the Columbus area, but Shawn is amongst the best you can work with, hands down.
