Hired Attorney Stephen Palmer

Steve Palmer is a professional in every sense of the word. I can only comment on my experience and having a need for his service. Given that, my original call to his office was relayed to him immediately. He called me on his way home from court on another case. That immediately showed me his interest and timing. He asked and listened to my story. He truly showed compassion and explained that things will get better. I was devastated at the time and it was good to hear that not from a family member but from an eventual teammate. He worked on my case and gave valuable information and research that greatly impacted my case. We got the absolute best case outcome and I was extremely grateful for his knowledge, his interaction and his overall work with me and my case. I would recommend Steve in a heartbeat to anyone who needs represented. He was referred to me and I certainly refer him to others. You will be represented to the best of his ability. That is a promise.

-Outstanding Results-Highly recommend- Unfortunately, I found myself in a legal situation that I did not anticipate and was charged with a misdemeanor. The incident was unintentional but regardless I was still faced with navigating this charge. I am a physician in the area and a conviction could have resulted in serious ramifications with my employers as well as licensing agencies. I spoke with multiple other attorneys in the state and they all highly recommended Mr. Palmer. It was relayed to me that he has probably represented more high profile cases in central Ohio than any other attorney over the past 10 years. When I met with Mr. Palmer it was quickly evident that he was listening to me and my concerns about the case. He listened to what I wanted to achieve and provided me with all options of approaching the case and possible outcomes. Ultimately, he he was able to get the case dismissed and I could not be more grateful.

Mr. Palmer assisted me with legal matters in both 2003 and 2013. In both instances he was prompt, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure all of my legal needs were met. He is easy to work with and his fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend him.

Eric Yavitch (RIP my Friend), Stephen E Palmer, Jeff Linn and Nicholas Siniff provide that your rights are protected under the aegis of the law. They are clearly the most comprehensive full scale legal counsel available. If service level were determined on a scale of one - one thousand, they would be a Zillion.

I had originally tried another council and fortunately decided to go with Mr. Palmer. He spoke to me in terms that I could understand and treated me with respect. Mr. Palmer and his team also provided mental counseling, as well as legal counseling to make a difficult experience seem manageable. We have recommended him to two other friends and both have been extremely satisfied.
