The Firm Other Lawyers Call For Help

About Koffel Law:

Koffel Law Firm is one of the leading 100% privately-retained Criminal / DUI law firms in Ohio. With the highest possible rating by the nation's oldest attorney rating service, Martindale Hubbell, the firm enjoys an "AV" rating. Also, Mr. Koffel, the managing attorney, is included in "Best Lawyers in America" -- a rare distinction currently consisting of just 1% of the lawyers in the United States. Two of our four lawyers are named "Ohio Super Lawyers" which is an honor just 2 1/2% of the attorneys in Ohio have received.

Even though Koffel Law Firm is a well-known and respected Columbus Criminal and DUI defense law firm, our lawyers regularly travel all across Ohio as a result of Columbus being centrally located. Each year, our lawyers will accept cases ranging from underage drinking and DUI to embezzlement and aggravated vehicular homicide in counties up to 2 hours away. The firm does not charge by the hour nor does it charge a "travel fee" to go to distant Ohio counties. If the case and client meet our parameters, we will try to help.

Evidence of how we represent our clients can be found in the following statistic -- the majority of our clients are referred by other attorneys, clients, police officers, and court personnel. Once we accept a client's case, we encourage our clients to text or email the lawyers or staff, even on weekends and evenings. Communication is critical to a healthy and positive experience when going to court with a lawyer. To see a sample of unsolicited client feedback, click on "Client Reviews" above.

Before You Hire: How to Choose a Columbus Criminal Defense Lawyer

Not all attorneys are equal. Being able to say, "I've seen this exact scenario before and I know how to deal with it" is worth its weight in gold in criminal and DUI cases. With over 8,000 former clients under our belt, it is a rare day when we "haven't seen this before". Experience brings wisdom. Wisdom leads to maximizing a client's legal outcome inside a criminal courtroom.

If you or someone you know has been charged with a crime in Ohio and the charge is serious to you, then it is highly recommended that you retain a law firm that is established, reputable, has a veteran support staff, and makes you feel comfortable.

When hiring a lawyer to represent you, it is a bad idea to hire the first law firm you call or the closest to your home. Take some time and speak with a number of firms. Ask around, try to get a referral. Eventually, you will start to hear the same names pop up. Narrow your search to those same names and pick one. Pay the fee, listen to the lawyer's advice, ask questions, stay engaged, and don't be afraid to chime in on your case. It is your life after all.

Bear in mind that the most successful and sought after law firms typically do not offer "free office consultations" with their lawyers for the simple reason that their time has been paid for by their clients and the lawyers are busy working on their client's cases. You need to know that after you hire a lawyer, he or she isn't spending the rest of the day meeting prospects. In fact, none of our lawyers offer free consultations for this important reason.

Whether you are facing a first DUI offense or have been charged with a serious felony, your case will be handled professionally and fast action will be taken to defend you. It is crucial that you get legal representation at once if you have been arrested - and prior to any questioning by law enforcement. If you are under investigation for a crime, call the firm without delay, as you will almost certainly be arrested within a short period of time, and any questioning should take place with your attorney present, even when you have not yet been arrested for the crime in question.
