    Outstanding to work with
    Bart Arnold and the team are outstanding to work with. They helped me through the process, represented my interests, and resolved the situation with a positive outcome. They were straightforward so I understood potential outcomes. All that, and they are just nice people. I hope I don't need their help again, but would definitely go back to them should I need to.

    Bart will go above and beyond
    If you're ever in a spot of trouble and need an attorney to represent you, I highly recommend Bart Arnold. Bart is straightforward and will do everything within his power to ensure his clients get what they need. With that, though, is doing your part as his client and communicating with him to keep him in the know with any and all information you can provide him. Bart will go above and beyond to secure the best outcome possible and while everyone wants something, as he mentioned to me, that may not always be the case but he will get you what you need.

    Christopher Caldwell
    Kept my CDL after DUI
    Mr. Ridenour, I would like to thank you and your firm for helping me with the DUI I got in Kosciusko County, and also for being able to keep my CDL. I also appreciated when you got a hold of me when you were out of the country on vacation, that really sealed the deal for me after I had talked to others. I always got a reply the same day I emailed you with a question. Once again, thanks.
    Jerry B
    Mr. Ridenour was amazing!
    Mr. Ridenour was amazing! He kept in good contact. While some people were getting a year plus for 1st time probation violations, he managed to get me out within 2 weeks of working on my case and back on probation with no added time. All around Thanksgiving and Christmas! Very pleased!
    Brooke Scheumann
    Very efficient and professional
    I hired them to take care of a situation with a 2A matter and a record expungement. They were very efficient and kept in touch with me when they had something to report. They had it taken care of in a very timely manner. Jeffrey Stineburg and Jen Reeb were excellent, very professional, and kind, answering all my questions. I would highly recommend Jeffrey and Jen.
    Corry Miller

    I highly recommend Mr. Bart Arnold. He and his office manager, Mrs. Jen Reeb, provided me a great service. They were both very knowledgeable, honest, and up front, and had good communication skills. Very professional and strong team for anyone that needs some help in the courtroom.

    • What is a plea bargain?
      A plea bargain is an agreement between you and the prosecutor where you plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence or dropping other charges. It can be a strategic decision to avoid trial, but it's important to discuss the implications with your attorney before agreeing.
    • What are my rights if I am arrested?
      If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is important to clearly state your desire for legal counsel and to refrain from answering questions without an attorney present. These rights are designed to protect you during legal proceedings.
