I represented a client who was charged with a felony gun offense, along with OVI. I got the gun charge dismissed upon completion of a drug treatment program, and I got the OVI reduced to a non moving violation which included no jail, no license suspension and no points on the driving record. This is one of countless good results that I have obtained in my career. I also just finished a divorce for a client who suffered many years of abuse and neglect. It was truly rewarding when that client experienced peace.

A lawyer needs to be dedicated, have a good work ethic, spend as much time as needed on a case, and most importantly, achieve good results for the client. I have done that for the past 33 years, and it has been a recipe for success.

A good lawyer is a good listener and problem solver. A good lawyer is objective, but not disrespectful and critical. A good lawyer is someone that a client can count on and feel comfortable with. I believe I have all those attributes, and that is why I have achieved success.

Extremely important. I do not practice in every court. I only practice certain areas of law, including Divorce, Family Law, Criminal Defense, OVI DUI Defense, Traffic Law, and Personal Injury claims. And, I only practice those areas of law in certain courts. I believe my knowledge of the particular court, experience in that court, and my credibility/reputation in that court is critical to a good result. In other words, I am very well known and respected in every court in which I handle cases.

I can provide information about me and my law practice, including my experience with the issues at hand and the court in which the case will be heard. I can provide information about how the particular court processes cases, and my experience with the people we may be dealing with, including attorneys and court personnel. I can discuss potential legal fees and costs of litigation.

I need to identify the area of law that is involved, the issues, the facts of the case, and the court where the case will be heard.

I am a very good listener, good problem solver, and I provide high quality, affordable and experienced legal services. I also have a client portal system (which sets my office apart from most others) that makes it very convenient for clients to communicate with me and my staff, receive and review court documents, and participate in the legal process, all from their phones and smart devices. My clients love this system, since we can accomplish a lot without the client having to travel to my office several times, find and pay for parking, and deal with the stress of downtown Dayton.

Being able to help someone resolve a legal issue and experience peace is very rewarding to me. Virtually every case that I handle involves stress and sleepless nights for my client. When the case is over and my client has nothing else to worry about, it makes me feel great.

I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, sports and traveling.

Yes. I am a member of the Knights of Columbus (K of C) 3rd Degree, and I am a Mason (F.&A.M. Ohio). I believe it is important to be connected to your community and contribute as much as you can. I believe in charity.
