Hired Attorney Christopher S. Vonau

Mr. Vonau was extremely professional but also very personable. He walked us through the process of writing a will and took all of our personal preferences into consideration. We never felt rushed and he answered all of our questions. I would be happy to use his services again and would recommend him to anyone else without reservation!

Hired Attorney Christopher S. Vonau

Our family experienced an unexpected loss of an immediate family member in Ohio. We are from out of State, and had no idea how to proceed with the Estate. We went with a recommendation, and luckily we were directed to Attorney Christopher S. Vonau. Attorney Vonau was able to work with us long distance with transparency, as though we were living next door. He kept us informed during the process, and was ethical in all his dealings with all of us. I HIGHLY recommend his services to everyone.

Working with Mr. Carr was a spectacular experience from start to finish. He was communicative every step of the way, he explained every issue with clear detail, and he had my best interest in mind at all times. It is rare to experience an attorney that makes you feel that your case is their most important case, but that is how I felt working with Mr. Carr. I highly recommend him to anyone needing representation.

For my criminal case I sought out Mr. Carr to take my case, he is very passionate about his job and takes it very seriously, and also a great guy to talk with. I could not have expected a better lawyer to work with. Thanks for everything and I will be recommending friends and family for any legal troubles.

Words cannot express the level of gratitude I possess about having Garrison Carr in my corner for the very long duration of my matter providing guidance and perspective. From it's inception to it's conclusion, he was very responsive, kept me informed, translated legal terms, and was eerily good at preparing the proper paperwork in a timely manner. Garrison Carr is an ethical knowledgeable no nonsense professional that gets results.

Hired Attorney James M. Vonau Esq.

Jim assisted our family with estate planning and also helped us with finding the best way to lend financial support to aging parents. He takes his time and explains everything clearly. He provided input on various options and commented on typical or common approaches. Ultimately, he empowered us to confidently make decisions on what was best for us. He has a high degree of integrity and we have recommended him to family and friends.

These words are just a SMALL fraction of his skill set and performance.
