I trust my lawyer and he is very experienced. He's always letting me know everything is going to be OK. I trust his judgment and confidence in winning a case. I was very stressed about my case and Mr Ernst, gave me confidence that everything was going to be OK. I definitely would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer to win your case and be there with you, not just for you.

I used Ernst and Associates attorney Rocky Ball Jr. to settle a dispute with a car rental service. Multiple attempts to settle the dispute on my own were unsuccessful. I spoke to Mr. Ball and within hours he had contacted the Claims Management Service by phone and followed up with a letter. Mr. Ball had noticed the damage invoice sent from the rental service was dated six months prior to my rental. The dispute was settled. Mr. Ball was prompt, efficient and affordable. Highly recommended!

A very professional law practice. Rocky Ball was of great help to me with my elder fathers legal needs. I needed help in getting power of attorney and durable power of attorney to help with all my fathers personal matters. Rocky met with me at my convenience and was very knowledgeable regarding these issues. I could not have accomplished handling my fathers affairs without the help of Rocky Ball. He is very compassionate about his work and displayed very professional work ethics.

My husband and I were in need of a legal service so we contacted Rocky Ball, an Attorney at Ernst and Associates. He was very quick to respond to our emails. He also took the time to explain everything in terms we could understand and the steps that were going to be involved. Some of wording on legal documents can be daunting but he answered all of my questions quickly and with clarity. The turnaround time between what we needed and when he delivered it was amazing! All in all, it was a great experience and I would not hesitate to refer him.

Hired Attorney David Ernst

Mr. Ernst was incredibly professional. Mr Ernst and his associate Gabe Moorman were able to provide me with excellent legal service, and they turned around a bad situation where my children's mother and I were never married, which in the State of Ohio gives me zero rights to my children. I am not the full custodial parent. They were prompt and always made me a priority. They were fair with me in terms of payment and always put their duty to serve over making money.

Hired Attorney David Ernst

I hired him for a divorce and everything was very slow moving. A year into it we had nothing accomplished. I believe we paid over $10k at that point. I was constantly given wrong information, making my spouse out to be the worst human possible. It was all a big manipulation and narcissistic tactic. He's terrible at returning calls, emails, etc. The one time we went to court he arrived 5 mins prior, wearing what looked like beach attire. He will give you the impression he's a family man and wants to help you because he cares, but in reality he only cares how much money he can get out of you. My ex and I reconciled, and we compared stories and my attorney was the villain, not my ex like Mr. Ernst made it out to be. This caused severe damage to our family.
