Scheduled a phone consultation for 1130am - received the texts and the emails confirming the appointment. Nobody called. At 1135 I began calling the phone number listed on the website and in the emails every two minutes. It rings busy every single time. It's now 1156am and nothing. This is the opposite of punctuality and instills no faith in this companies ability to represent me.
Christopher,<br>This is Shawn Dominy, owner of the Dominy Law Firm. It appears there was an IT problem this morning, and that is why you did not receive a call and were not able to reach us. As the owner, that is ultimately my responsibility, so I apologize for the inconvenience it caused.
The Dominy Law Firm is thoroughly professional and timely in every manner. Quick responses, quick representation.
Thanks for the review, J.A. We were glad to help.
Bryan Hawkins at Dominy Law is the best defense anyone can have on their team when concerned about representation and counsel for a case. He is driven, experienced, and can deliver. In terms of outcomes, you owe it to yourself to hire Bryan Hawkins. He gave me my life back, and he can give you yours back as well!
Thank you for the feedback, Paul.
I found this firm via web search so I had no opinion one way or the other. I'm glad I went with them. They are professional, completely know their business, and genuinely good people. We worked with Mr. Hawkins and he was very patient, thorough--clearly explaining all options, and effective. I highly recommend them.
Thanks for the feedback, Dan.
Working with Shawn was an outstanding experience from start to finish. His calm, confident demeanor and deep understanding of the legal process helped make a very stressful situation feel manageable. He was thorough, communicative, and truly invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. I also want to give a special shoutout to Windy Renee Hall, his legal secretary, who was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful throughout. Her warmth and efficiency made every interaction with the office feel smooth and supportive. If you’re looking for a legal team that combines expertise with genuine care for their clients, look no further. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Thanks for the kind words, Nathaniel. It was great to work with you.

Thank you for the review, Dereje. It was truly a pleasure working with you.
Bryan was a great attorney, very informative and knows what he is talking about when it comes to driving laws and possible outcomes. Also makes it a very smooth process when working with clients. Helped my case tremendously.

Thank you for the review, Chris.
After a consultation with Shawn, I was assigned to Bryan Hawkins as my defense attorney for an OVI case in Fairfield county. Although my defense case was very strong, I lost and was referred by Bryan to another attorney to appeal my case. After a total of 16 months and $8000, I lost again. Here’s my assessment of Bryan Hawkins as my defense attorney. Pros 1. Bryan is a decent attorney. He is responsive, and seems to be genuinely interested in his clients welfare. Cons 1. Bryan is not very assertive / aggressive in his arguments. I think any defense attorney should be working for a slam dunk / knock out on behalf of his client if he really hopes to win! 2. Bryan has little to no rapport with Fairfield country prosecutors and/or judges… which in essence is what it is all about. He should have stated this to me upfront. 3. After observing how the Judge co-signed the prosecutors case and dismissed all defense motions and arguments, Bryan recommended that I plead no-contest and appeal the case with the assistance of another attorney that he referred me to.(another $4000) The Ohio Court of Appeals literally followed suit/affirmed the lower court decision - almost in a cut and paste fashion - totally ignoring any of the defense arguments made by this new attorney…. Prosecutorial case in both courts were very mediocre and did not address the defense arguments however the Judges still co-signed them unilaterally. I realize a defense attorney cannot guarantee a win…. but they can be honest about their limitations. I asked Shawn and Bryan upfront about their experience in Fairfield county in which both affirmed they had experience. An honest consultation of when and if you should simply cut your losses, and plead guilty should be provided. In sum, I really feel like I’ve been taken for a very expensive ride financially, mentally and emotionally. 16 months and $8000 later and I’m worse off than I would have been than if I would have just plead guilty upfront and not retained an attorney.
Thanks for the rating, Dom.
I am a visiting Grandfather spending time with family. I. was charged OVI. I talked with Shawn and he explained Ohio law. He was very calming, professional and informative. I recommend Shawn for any legal issues.
Thanks for the review, Timothy. Glad to help.

Most unprofessional experience of my life. The lawyer who was going to be representing me told me to pay his fee before Monday. Around noon on Sunday he emailed his refusal to represent me. When I was unable to reach him I called the owner for help. He proceeded to be rude and blame me for his associate's lack of communication and incompetence.
The Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct prevent me from replying in a way which would shed light on the situation.
Always quick to respond. Very professional and easy to talk too. Will answer any questions you have.
Thank you for the review. I O
The best legal defense money can buy. Super understanding people and very knowledgeable if I had to do it all over agian I would choose them. I will also be recommending them to friends and family if the time comes.
Thank you, Bernard. We enjoyed working with you, and we are glad your outcome was favorable.
Called to have 2 questions answered. Would not answer without making an appointment. Clearly stating wI lived in Knox made an appointment for same day. No call. Finally call them and told them forget it I’ll contact someone else. Then I get a call from Shawn saying “I’m sorry, I sent 2 emails to you telling you I need to cancel the appointment because we do not service Knox “. The email was not correct and who emails someone when they call for an appointment anyway? I’m totally not waiting for my email to ring. Sickening service. Could have called and answered my 2 questions then explained we can’t help you but so and so might be able too. Your process will work if your receptionist writes down the correct information. This was not the case. My time wasted.
I'm sorry you have that perspective, Kristin.<br><br>We arrange phone consultations by appointment only because our attorneys are often in court and, when we are in the office, we are working on clients' cases. Those clients would not want us to stop working on their cases to answer callers' questions, as interruptions during deep work decrease focus and reduce effectiveness.<br><br>Accordingly, we have a process for handling incoming calls. When the incoming call is from a prospective client, the receptionist schedules a phone consultation at the earliest time which works for the caller's schedule and the attorney's schedule. The receptionist obtains the caller's name, phone number, and email address. The receptionist also makes notes regarding the type of case and the county where the case is going to court.<br><br>Sometimes, a lawyer reviews the information from the receptionist and realizes our firm does not handle that type of case in that county. The lawyers are much more familiar with those details. The lawyer then communicates that to the caller at the email address the caller gave to the receptionist, rather than playing phone tag with the caller.<br><br>Our process for phone calls works exceptionally well for nearly everyone, but there are some callers who do not care for that process, and you appear to be one of those callers.
Professional and responsive. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation to need this law firms services, Mr Dominy will get you the best outcome possible. Highly recommended!
Thanks for the feedback, Kel.
I was facing my third DUI in Delaware, Ohio and needed to find a great attorney in the area since I live out of state. I found Shawn and his team after searching all night for the best DUI attorneys in Ohio and I was not disappointed. Shawn was very thorough and able to drop the case down to reckless driving with no jail time. I highly recommend using Shawn if you find yourself in the same unfortunate situation.
Thank you for the recommendation, J Provie.
