I was in financial distress, and it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions . That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more. When I first contacted him for bankruptcy, Mark explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that needed to be done. He was knowledgable as well. He filed my bankruptcy case and I was very pleased with the services that were provided by Mark and his office. I was just served on Christmas Eve with a summons for another matter and I did not seriously expect a return call from the office until Monday. Well, Mark called me back on Christmas Day. And he was on his way to his family gathering where he was going to play the piano for his relatives. I had previously used him for a bankruptcy situation and the case was flawless. He had thoroughly reviewed my debts and income and filed very quickly. Because of his excellent work in getting my case filed, my credit reports all revealed that all my bills were covered by my bankruptcy. When I received the notice of my recent lawsuit for another type of case, I knew that i could reach out to Mark to get straight, honest advice, because that is exactly what he had provided in the past. Again, he reached out to me on the holiday and within 10 minutes he guided me in the right direction. I was able to attend my family gatherings with confidence that the bogus lawsuit filed against me would be taken care of. I am still surprised that he called me when he is a very busy person, even in this pandemic that will not go away. But clearly Mark cares. I simply do not understand some of the other reviews about his abilities, when I clearly have had numerous good experiences with Mark and his law firm. Mark is a good person with excellent fundamentals in both his profession and his personal dealings. This is remarkable in todays world. He is also a busy piano player during the holiday seasons, but he still called me and shared his time with me. I am most impressed with this type of work ethic. Thank you again, and Merry Christmas to Mark!!

At first, things were not looking so good because the prosecution would not budge, but eventually Michael was able to get me a favorable outcome. I will not go into the details of the case, but he believed my story and was able to help me greatly. As a result of his representation, my charges were dismissed. If you need a defense attorney to represent you, then I would definitely recommend Michael Probst. Michael Probst will go above and beyond to help you with your case.

Rating = 0/0 I had…read morethe most unprofessional experience with the Workmens Compensation lawyer Kurt Knisley. He violated several parts of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct by threatening to put a lien on my claim, not once, but twice, for simply asking questions and expressing concerns. He violated the following core rules: Rule 1.2 (Scope of representation; allocation of authority) The client decides the objectives of representation, including whether to settle; the lawyer must consult with the client about means and keep the client reasonably informed. Rule 1.4 (Communication)Requires the lawyer to keep the client reasonably informed and to explain matters so the client can make informed decisions. Violation: Kurt Knisley did not inform me nor provide the details of the settlement demand until after the document was sent to the Respondent. He provided no option for the demand letter to be tailored according to my needs. Kurt threatened to withdraw as counsel and to place a lien on my claim in response to me asking him why this was done. Kurt Knisley decided to try to intimidate, instead of communicating and consulting. Rule 1.5 (Fees)Fees and expenses must be reasonable, and any lien for fees must be based on a valid fee agreement and applicable law. Violation: Kurt Knisley used the lien primarily as leverage to silence my concerns. This is inconsistent with the requirement that fee practices be fair and reasonable. Rule 1.16 (Declining or terminating representation)Lists when a lawyer may withdraw but requires withdrawal to be done in a way that protects the client's interests. Violation: Kurt Knisley used the threat of withdrawal and lien in a way that materially harmed my case simply because I challenged his strategy and asked questions. Rule 8.4 (Misconduct)Prohibits conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, and conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice. Violation:The lien threat was knowingly misleading about Kurt Knisley's actual intention and was mainly used to coerce me into silence or agreement. I would not recommend Kurt for any Workmens Compensation case on these grounds. Kurts threats were retaliatory and coercive. A lawyer should not try to punish a client simply for disagreeing or asking questions. After all, it is a lawyers responsibility to keep clients informed, and represent their lawful objectives diligently.

I hired Jim McGovern because of his reputation. I thought I could trust him. That was my first…read moremistake. He encouraged me to sign an agreement. He made it sound routine. He made it sound like the only option. What he did not do was tell me what it would really mean. He did not explain the consequences. He did not walk me through what I was giving up. He did not tell me that signing it would destroy my ability to work, my livelihood, my future. I trusted him. I signed. I did not find out what I had actually agreed to until it was too late. By then, my license was gone. My career was gone. Everything I had built for fifteen years gone. Because I trusted someone who did not fully inform me before I put my name on that line. I am not a lawyer, but I know I asked him questions and did not get real answers. I know he pushed me toward a decision without giving me the full picture. I know I walked out of that room thinking I had made the right choice. I spent every day since watching my life fall apart because of it. I feel stupid for trusting him. I feel sick when I think about that day. When you start your career with the Board, it is no surprise he is ending it on the other side of the Board. That is not a coincidence. That is a pattern. If you hire him, do not assume he has your best interests at heart. Read everything yourself. Ask every question. Do not sign anything until you fully understand what you are losing. Because once it is done, there is no going back. I trusted him. He failed me. I will never forgive myself for believing him. He knew exactly what he was doing. He knew exactly what I was losing. He just did not care. Luckily, my new attorney is the exact opposite.

I know I made the right decision to have Jim represent me BEFORE I spoke to the person from the nursing board. I followed his advise to the best of my ability and after a grueling 3 years The BON have concluded their investigation, in my favor! Because of Jim, I retain my license, my career, and most importantly my dignity. The Ohio Nursing Board, is serious and if you have been the focus of a complaint. I believe the most important part was having Jim in my corner, who has been a lawyer in Columbus for many years. He knows the ins and outs of the Board process and is able to direct you to make best choices. I am able to practice my vocation, of nursing, thanks to Jim McGovern.

He is very accesible and really listens to your matter. He is quick and efficient. His office staff is very respectul and they ALWAYS pick up the phone. U actually talk to real people and not bots or computerized voices. i have nothing againist technology but its great when a real person answers your call.

My case was dismissed as I listened to Doug and I had to pay a $65 fine. I HIGHLY recommend Doug and his team! He is the best price (I was shocked!

Even though my mom's employer appealed every single claim in my mom's case, Mr. Monast and his team countered those to be able to provide my mom as much help as possible post injury. We worked with Monast Law at the start of the coronavirus pandemic till now. Much of our interaction was through phone hearings and email. However, Mr. Monast and the law team made sure to always reach out to us and speak before important dates. We also met him twice at in-person hearings and his demeanor and interaction with us made us feel like we were in good hands and that he genuinely cared. Through this law firm we learned so much about the entire worker's comp process, something we had never been exposed to before. Mr. Monast made sure to guide us through the steps along with his team. I appreciated Vickie, Wilma, Todd, and the others who always reached out to us to keep us updated on the case status and helped us with all the paper work. My mom's employer's lawyer made the process extremely prolonged and was difficult to work with; however, with the help of the firm we were finally able to reach a settlement. It was not as great as Mr. Monast wanted for my mom; however, it was my mom's wish not to continue further and settle, because it was a constant source of stress for her.
