He was out sick that day but still called me, so I thought I found the one! Wow, I couldn't have done worse! One of the absolutely rudest people I have ever encountered. First, the attorney is about 90 years old and he forgets what he tells you, oh he will tell you I've been doing this for 30 years, trust me. Maybe it's time to retire? Second, he can't remember what he has and hasn't done. I submitted all my required paperwork. I did have a lot of questions and all he kept telling me is not to be this kind and to trust him. After my case was completed, he told me I complained too much and if I have an issue to come to his offices and handle it like a man. Dean I am not one of your female clients that you can intimidate. During my time I have since learned that Dean Hines used his position of power to initiate and pursue an intimate relationship with a vulnerable client who was afraid to resist in early 2009. Women beware! Research this Disciplinary Counsel v. Hines. Remember when you lost your license for 6 months for this? I really let this man represent me? Of course, everyone makes mistakes but really, come on that is one of the first things you were taught in the 1940's! His wife (his paralegal) had no problems at all with her, maybe it's because she's not 90 years old! (Maybe she was an old client as well?) If you want to be treated like a child, then I surely recommend him as he would be a great great grandpa to someone. About the only thing that came fast was the bill. They surely make sure you get that! If you want an ambulance chaser with a law degree or someone that acts inappropriate with the females, go to Dean Hines! You want someone that listens while you go through one of the hardest things you have ever done try elsewhere. In fact, if it comes down to representing yourself or picking this guy, represent yourself! Believe me, you're better off. Again ladies beware! The only good thing is my case is finished, thank God I can't keep paying these ambulance chaser prices! The Best in Dayton Dean? Really? Try again, maybe the worst.

I cannot recommend Chip Muse and the Muse Law staff highly enough! Throughout my divorce, which…read morespanned two challenging years, Chip's unwavering support and dedication made all the difference. He was always available to take my calls, providing not just expert legal guidance but also a compassionate ear when I needed it most. Chip approached my case with genuine passion, advocating for me as if I were family. His empathy and understanding during such a tumultuous time gave me the strength I needed to keep moving forward. Even when it felt like nothing was happening, Chip was always available and timely in his responses, reassuring me that progress was being made. If you're looking for an attorney who truly cares about his clients and will fight tirelessly for your best interests, look no further than Chip Muse. Thank you, Chip, for being my advocate and for your incredible support! I'm going to miss you all!

I'm incredibly thankful for the support and guidance Attorney Robert "Chip" Mues provided during a…read moredifficult period in my life. Navigating divorce and a high-conflict custody case is never easy, but from the start, Attorney Mues demonstrated genuine compassion and a strong commitment to helping me through it. He offered clear explanations, practical advice, and always took the time to listen. Beyond his legal knowledge, what impressed me most was his steady, principled approach. He prioritized what was fair and ethical, never losing sight of what truly mattered. Through it all, his calm demeanor and thoughtful guidance gave me confidence and peace of mind. I would recommend Attorney Mues without hesitation to anyone facing family law challenges. He's not only a skilled attorney, but also someone who offers real support every step of the way.

Leading up to our trial for a custody/parental alienation case it seemed we were dealing with someone who was very busy as we received little communication. I get that's typical in the legal profession, we assumed he had a busy work load. However, we were also paying clients and did not feel that he fully grasped our situation. We reached out occasionally and sometimes get a response days later (if any). I will mention that we requested a call to discuss things around our trial date to ensure we were on the same page. He did make time for us the day before our court date. While we appreciated the contact, it was too late to add any evidence or possibly make changes to help our cause. Upon arriving the day of court, we heard him mention to us that some of the exhibits were turned in late. We had so much false hope for how things would go that day. He did encourage us on the short breaks in the briefing room and seemed to know the law- which is why I added a star. However, verdict came in the mail. We lost. Everything. Reached out to him. He never responded or followed up to offer condolences or legal advise. Nothing. Seems like a nice guy overall but save your money If you need a shark on your case!

Somehow I found myself on the phone with Attorney Gerald Wirsch and after hearing my 30 minute story, he immediately went to work. With me on the phone, he contacted several Butler County offices and got the information I needed to move forward. He went above and beyond anything I could have expected and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top flight attorney that actually cares.

After meeting with Jeff I felt confident about my case. After a month the OVI charge was dropped and i was willing to accept a wreckless operation charge. Very pleased with the professionalism of Jeff I never thought I would see him again. In 2016, after three drinks I was pulled over and in the same situation. Feeling embarrassed and scared, Mr. Meadows reassured me that I wasn't hopeless. He gathered details to my case and wasn't willing to take any plea deal like most other attorneys would. Jeff asked me what I wanted out of my case and his defense. He certainly came through. He picked apart the prosecutions evidence and arguements. Once I heard,"not guilty" I couldn't believe it. All charges dropped. This man saved me money on my insurance, and saved me from the embarrassment of having to put down that I have been convicted of a misdemeanor when applying for jobs. I owe him a big thank you! Don't think twice about Jeff Meadows defense.. he is the best.

My distinct honor in writing this letter is to recommend with highest regard Attorney Jeff Meadows…read moreand Meadows Law Firm. Jeff's experience, compassion and confidence were evident from day one. Ironically, it wasn't until a previous attorney withdrew from my case that I was able to meet with Jeff. He believed in me, my fight and had the tenacity to help expose corruptness and failures directly related to my case. Jeff's staff was an extension of his work, ethics and leadership. I can't thank Jeff enough for his support, professionalism and keeping me informed every step of the way. I would encourage anyone reviewing this to consider Meadows Law Firm for representation. I have met a new friend in Jeff and consider his work/representation as second to none. Thank you Jeff!

Then an appeal of the first decision, and then followed by an appeal to district court. I sadly had three other attorneys before him through the divorce and for this case and appeals, it was such a struggle. In this case the fourth time was a charm! Stephen is absolutely amazing! As the cases went along I was more and more impressed by his shining knowledge of the law. He knew exactly what to present for each component of the case. He was brilliant in the courtroom, very professional, very polite, and kept his composure even through the rudeness and attack of the opposing lawyer. His integrity is very obvious, he would say, let's take the high road. And he did. As we moved along through the case and Appeals my trust in him grew to 100%! After having other lawyers that I did not feel confident in, it was such a relief to know that he was an excellent litigator! I was always extremely impressed with his knowledge of the law, he would just rattle things off, with Ohio Revised codes that applied specifically to a point of the case. He definitely knew case law,which is very important. Stephen was also very compassionate, kind, and truly understood what I was going through. He would always explain the law and the methods he was going to use so that I was fully aware of what was going on. Stephen always made sure I was prepared for any trial part. When I was upset he was always very helpful, and gave me encouragement. Even a few times when I would question him and not be sure he would take that in stride and very kindly explain why it had to be a certain way to be within the parameters of the law. I always felt very supported by him and enjoyed his easy communication skills. I cannot recommend Stephen enough! Considering how long it takes to move the Case and Appeals through the Court system, I was so glad that he was the lawyer that I had chosen to represent me through it all. Also a big shout out to the staff at Lampe Law for handling appointments, financials and communications so smoothly and nicely.
