Miracle worker…knows the law.

I hired Allison after my son had rolled a flatbed truck loaded with tree logs. He was driving with a suspended license, had several out standing bench warrants for failures to show, court fines, in addition to bench warrants from Defiance, OH, for a domestic violence program he never completed, and owing fines.
She got all charges dropped and his license reinstated, she drove him personally to Defiance court for his appearances. All he had to do was pay his fine. He was looking at doing time , Not one day.

She’s on my Speed Dial, just in case.

Allison represented my son for a criminal/ traffic case. Even though there were many Continuances in the case, due to my son, she never seemed annoyed or anxious. She was very professional, on time, knowledgeable and down to earth. I especially appreciate her going out of her way to represent outside of the Toledo area. She always explained everything that was going on without belittling, as some lawyers tend to do to clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and that would include family members. I have added Allison to my speed dial just in case I would get into some trouble in the future.

Criminal Defense

Endorse this attorney. I really appreciate that, despite was a Sunday call, he was very cooperative and we meet in a same day to discuss details. During the trial we can communicate all time with him, he was proactive and advice us all time. The fact that received sentence was what we expect, make me to recommend this attorney with all my trust.

Worth Reading

Stevin Groth, a man of integrity. He is very knowledgeable. Stevin has come to my aid several times. He is an excellent presenter for schools or other organizations. Personally, my daughter just received her Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice. She is aspiring to be an attorney. Not knowing which direction she wanted to precede in, I asked Stevin could she “shadow” a day. Not only did she observe him in action, she was introduced to several people who shared valuable information with her. I highly recommend Attorney Stevin Groth.

Stevin J. Groth

My name is Robert M and I just recently retired after 36 years with the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office. I first came in contact with Stevin while he was working for the Common Pleas Court in Lucas County and was very impressed about his work from the very beginning. Over the years of my employment, I was close to Stevin when he was prosecuting cases and most recently when he was defending cases. Over the years I was employed by the Sheriff’s Office, I was in contact with attorneys on a daly basis but Stevin stood head and shoulders above most others in all aspects of his work. His professionalism shown toward and compassion to, all he came in contact with, was beyond reproach. Should I ever need an attorney myself, Stevin Groth would be the person I would turn to in my time of need, no matter what that need might be.

Highly Recomended

Our experience with Attorney Stevin Groth was nothing short of life changing.
When we first contacted Mr. Groth, he gave us his cell phone number and we were able to directly contact him day or night. His knowledge of the Ohio judicial system was astounding. He handled all aspects of our case himself, never once handing off our case to jr. associates. Stevin had positive relationships with all the judges, district attorneys and court personal that we came in contact with. Stevin’s persuasive arguments on our son’s behalf cleared him of all charges. Because of Stevin’s abilities, our son is able to move forward with his life without the stigma of a criminal record.
We could not recommend Stevin Groth more highly.

Sincerely,

Alfred and Jennifer

Best Criminal Lawyer In Ohio

Stevin Groth literally saved my future. He treated me with nothing but respect and dignity, with stern sound advice, and helped me through the most difficult period of my life. I would recommend him for anybody that is serious about finding legal representation in the state of Ohio. He has practiced in multiple states and is extremely professional on top of being a well-known and well-respected part of the legal system. If you are dedicated to providing exactly what he asks for you can expect what he says to come to fruition and in my case…more!!! My life would be utterly over if I did not acquire his representation in my criminal case and follow through on every step of his directions. He worked with me and kept me in the loop every step of the way and drastically altered the course of my trial. I could of never envisioned the events following my arrest going in the direction that they did and it was only possible due to the excellent legal representation on behalf of Stevin Groth.

Best Attorney ever!

A very close friend, had phenomenal results using Dan as counsel in a child custody case. Long story short, I watched my friend go from being the non custodial father w/ child support responsibilities, to having full custody with support payments. In Ohio courts, it almost takes a act of god, to have full custodial rights awarded to the father.

Because of that case I have used Dan as counsel in custodial issues, twice. Each of my cases have resulted in similar successes. Daniel is very astute. Both my cases involved a lot of fictitious stories, courtesy of my Ex, which presented zero issues for Dan. At both trials, Dan dismantled the fiction and basically owned the court room. To say it was impressive, would be a understatement.

If you are in need of legal representation, Daniel Sczesny will not disappoint. He is highly articulate, has great attention to detail, and excellent legal knowledge. I also noticed that he is very well liked and respected in the Downtown court houses. Which pays tribute to his professionalism and his court room successes.

Daniel if you happen to read this, Thanks a million

Unfortunate choice resulting in further hardship for our family.

We chose Daniel on the basis of reviews and we were sorely disappointed. He did not heed our concerns, nor did he come prepared to court hearings; his failure on this part is so overwhelmingly harsh that he even advised us to give up our fight to protect our child from a known abuser. I would seriously stress that you give any thought to working with Mr. Sczesny a second thought, or you may end up scrambling to find a new lawyer and start back at step one of the legal process.

Great lawyer

Mr. Sczesny was great from the start. He came highly recommended by a lawyer I had previously used and I was thrilled with outcome. Dan did not offer me promises he couldn’t keep nor did he disappoint. He was very reasonable and would give me the good, the bad and the ugly in order to keep me well informed and on top of things. The receptionist is lovely to work with as well. I particularly appreciated the fact that he was available through text as well as email and phone. I always felt respected and taken care of without feeling babied or pressured. His rates are very reasonable and he is very accommodating. I have worked with several other attorneys and Mr. Sczesny seems to be highly respected by all. He’s tough and capable, but he still has a kind ear and can be very sympathetic to your situation.

Grade A Experience

Dan discussed all my goals with me and explained which were reasonable and which were not. He fought hard to come to an agreement both parties could live with. Highly recommend him to others

- Marvin, a Child Support client (5 star review)

Highly Recommended!

Dan was extremely thorough with my fiancé’s child custody case. We walked into this situation with several questions, a lot of uncertainty and a little feared from the unknown. There were sensitive issues that we had to address and Dan was wonderful at walking us through the process. He provided insight on a personal level as well as from a legal standpoint. During the entire process Dan answered calls and e-mails from my fiancé and I quickly, which helped keep our peace of mind throughout this entire case. He is a very calm, skilled, and insightful individual who defiantly keeps the best interest of his clients a priority. I have already recommended Dan to three people who are going through a similar situation as we just did. We are very pleased with the outcome of this case and have Dan to thank for it.
