First of all I just want to give a big THANK YOU to all the staff at Gounaris & Abboud and an even bigger THANK YOU to Nick Gounaris! Everyone in this office is top notch! They are professional, knowledgeable and extremely committed to their clients. I remember going into a meeting with Nick and he looked at me and said 'I'm going to take care of you.' and he did just that! God is good!!! I definitely recommend Nick and his staff.

Nick Gounaris was referred to us by a family friend at a time when we required legal representation for my son in Dayton. It was a very sensitive case and we could not have been happier with both the outcome of the case and Nicks professionalism throughout. Nick was able to immediately calm our nerves and provide us with an understanding of what we should expect as we went through the legal process. Most importantly, we were thrilled with the outcome of the case that we achieved through Nicks legal expertise. If you are in need of an attorney, I would recommend Nick Gounaris without hesitation. Thanks Nick!

I needed legal council representation and called on the expertise of the firm. I was treated with respect, integrity, and encouraged through an extremely uncharted time that seemed hopeless. Nick Gounaris was very professional and answered all my questions in a calming way. He is clearly respected highly in the legal community. The entire staff demonstrates characteristics that reveal experience and expertise . I would recommend making the contact to help with any legal matters that they handle. If it were not for this amazing and professional team, I most likely would not have had the positive outcomes.

We were facing some bad things due to my significant others soft heart. My other half got in trouble cause he thought he was helping someone out, and found out not everyone wants help! long and short, police were called, and he went to jail. Nick saw us, and everything was good! he handled the case with compassion,professionalism and above all he got it all settled in a timely manner at a great rate. I will never forget him, nor will I ever stop sing his praises. If you have a need he will help you solve it. I highly recommend his law firm to all!! I could go on and on about this Man, But I would run out of space.

Great law firm. This is my second endeavor with them. Tony Abboud was able to have my first case dropped. Lauren Davenport was my second attorney for a family law matter. She was able to punch holes in the plaintiffs testimony and once again, my case was dismissed. I am now trying for the trifecta and Ms. Davenport is once again my attorney. I have confidence, with their help, I will once again be more than satisfied with the outcome. Retain this firm with confidence. Fantastic attorneys and fantastic staff.

I hired Lauren Davenport to help with a custody case for my daughter . She did an amazing job! Her whole team is great. If Lauren wasnt available to answer a question right away her paralegal Nicole always responded right away and had an answer or found one . Even their receptionist Anna was very friendly and helpful every time I called .My case didnt go as planned but it was something that we couldnt control . When it seemed like all was lost and it was backfiring me Lauren didnt stop fighting . She came up with a plan and went to work ! The opposing attorney was so mad when Lauren was done they couldnt even look at us ! She worked hard to help me and is extremely good at what she does. Lauren and her team are the best! I highly recommend to anyone !

Can I give 10 stars instead? I can not sing Nick & Tony's praises enough. A couple years ago I found myself in a troubling situation-- and their guidance through the process was absolutely astounding. I was pretty sure that my life was ending, and I was certain I was going to have some serious trouble on my hands. They dropped everything to give me the initial phone call, but their responsiveness did not end when they got my retainer, nor did their concern for me as a person. Not only are they competent, hard working attorneys, but they are genuinely good people who really care about their clients as people. Nick delivered an outcome that I couldn't have even imagined happening. On top of that he counseled me to help navigate the personal impact of the situation. He and his staff gave me great hope during a very troubling time. They aren't the cheapest, but then again, I didn't want to put my future in the hands of the cheapest guy anyways. For the work they did, the way they cared, and the peace of mind that they gave me, I am confident that I got a bargain with Gounaris & Abboud. If you are considering hiring someone, I hope this helps bring you some peace of mind that they really are all they appear to be.

Nick is a phenomenal attorney. He secured a plea that was better than I could have hoped. Even years later he asks me how I'm doing. If you need an attorney in Dayton, Ohio you MUST contact Gounaris Abboud.

They were always available to answer questions and explained every step of the process. I will call them first should I ever need a lawyer in the future.

I went through almost two years for custody with Lauren and her team. Through every hiccup and step along the way I was kept informed and prepared for every situation. Lauren worked diligently to progress my case and in the end was a huge success. Anytime I called with questions, Anna was such a delight to speak to and Nicole was always quick to help if Lauren wasn't available. Very appreciative to all and 10/10 would recommend. :)

I called just to ask questions about my needs even though I didn't have all my ducks in a row. The staff was very attentive and made sure they explained all the options available to me. I hadn't completely made up my mind about my case but they didn't care. I received great advice and felt like they listened to everything I had to say. I ended up not needing their services but I sure will use them in the future if I ever need them!

A couple years back I found myself in a sticky situation that I did not know how to handle. I felt I could handle it on my own and started to take action and move forward with the process without representation. I soon realized I was in way over my head and needed someone who would help and fight for me. Mr. Abboud did just that! He was very attentive and he and his assistants explained every part of the process as we moved forward. I explained to him my desired outcome and he was able to deliver that and get things wrapped up in a timely manner! I only wish I would have called him sooner. This is an excellent firm with a great team.

I was charged with Domestic Violence for (threats) in Kettering Municipal Court by my soon to be ex wife. My soon to be ex wife and I had marital problems and I made some mistakes in the marriage. We had been trying to reconcile and try everything we could to save the marriage....the ex and I had gotten into a fight that just kept escalating and I made some threats to her she made threats to me. It was the worst argument my ex and I ever had. I had left the residence that afternoon and was arrested that next morning at approximately 0130. I bailed myself out and went home and starting looking up lawyers and filling out applications. I went to court at 0900 and plead not guilty. I went to several consultations and wasnt having much luck. I then receive a phone call from Gounaris & Abboud (Tony). He had me tell him the story of what happened and said he wanted to meet. The way Tony talked and his enthusiasm towards the case made me say yeah he is the one! I met with him and hired him on the spot for a flat fee. We met in person 2-3 times through out the case. Tony and I also talked on the phone several times for extended periods of time. I was shocked at how much time and effort he seemed to put into the case with it only being a flat fee. When we went to the first pre trial and the prosecutor didnt want to offer a plea deal. Tony advised me we should take this to trial. A video was submitted into evidence and the 911 call was submitted as evidence as well. Tony was very much convincing that we have a strong case and we can win this thing. Tony also advised me what would happen if we lost the trial and if I just plead guilty and didnt take this to trial. I really liked how Tony is a straight shooter he told me the worst and best scenarios in the case. Then it came time for the second pre trial. I was due to appear in court once again and Tony called me the night before and said we didnt have to appear because the prosecution wasnt going to offer a deal. The trail date was set for the beginning of the year in 2020. The day before trial at approximately 1510, Tony called and said they want to offer a deal. I accepted the deal due the deal being to good to pass up and not risk loosing my job going 50/50 on a jury trial and going to jail. I have also dealt with his paralegal Mallory and she is amazing at getting info to you immediately. Anna is the woman who sits upfront and who you typically talk to when you call the office and she is very respectful and helpful. Here is the results of my plea deal per the email Mallory sent me after I saw the judge and was sentenced.To recap your hearing from Wednesday, the State amended the Domestic Violence Threat charges to a Menacing conviction, a misdemeanor in the fourth degree and the State dismissed the Domestic Violence Charge. The Court imposed the following sentence: 30 days in jail, suspending 30 days in jail, a fine of $250, suspending $125, plus court costs, unsupervised probation for two years, no further violations, and a TCN mental health evaluation and to follow up with any recommendations.I have also hired the divorce lawyer from this firm (Lauren Davenport). She has been amazing and very helpful as well as her paralegal Nicole.

Over two years from my initial meeting with Mr. Abboud and I am happy to say I am finally publishing my last review. I am writing this last review because Mr. Abboud and his wonderful team, especially his paralegal Mallory, have helped me successfully file for my expungement. I made an ill-advised mistake as a young college student and it was very hard to live with both myself and the following circumstances that I was faced with afterwards. After an unreal amount of support, professionalism, and contact with Mr. Abboud and his team, I can happily say I will no longer be remembered for that mistake that has haunted me for quite some time. While I surely had my doubts, Mr. Abboud and Mallory were there every step of the way to provide me with updates, expected next steps, and everything else in between. I cannot imagine what could have happened over the course of these two years without selecting Mr. Abboud and his relentless team of professionals. If you are reading this to help you make a very important decision in your life (just as I did), look no further than this review. I will stand by my decision and Mr. Abboud and his team every day of the week, under any circumstance you are facing. They will treat you as a person with constant updates and professionalism along the way, and that is all you can ask for as you are working to learn from whatever mistake you had made. This team is worth every penny they charge and they will do everything in their power to help you right your wrong. 5 stars is not enough for the amazing work that this team does. I will remember Mr. Abboud and his team for the rest of my life and can only hope this review helps someone make the same informed decision as I did. Select Gounaris Abboud and you will never have to question what could have happened had you chose anyone else!

Mrs. Davenport and her paralegal Nicole were amazing. They both were professional and kind as I was going through a difficult custody case. Lauren really cared about me and my son. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a lawyer that is truly on their side and wants what is best for the child. This firm is amazing and I now see my baby thanks to Lauren Davenport!

I posted a review for a local store here in error. Please disregard that review. I have used the legal services this group and their entire team have been professional, patient, helpful , and supportive during my son's case. I have nothing positiveb things to report in my experiences with their office and would refer them in a heartbeat.

Straightforward. Timely. Effective. These are just a few words that can be used to describe the top quality of work that Gounaris Abboud provides. Being from out of town Mr. Abboud and his team were able to work closely with me and the courts to reach a timely, and positive conclusion. Now months down the road I am grateful that a friend recommended that I consult with Gounaris Abboud about my situation. I can confidently say that I would happily recommend Gounaris Abboud and his team to anyone looking for help. You will have the chance to work with wonderful people who know exactly what they are doing, as well as reach your desired outcome in the courtroom.

5 stars is not enough for my lengthy experience with Mr. Abboud and his entire team. From the moment we had our initial discovery phone call, I knew I had made the right choice. He helped me through an incredibly trying time in my life and did an exceptional job on viewing me as a human and not just a number in his client base. He checked in on my well-being, how things were going at school, and to not let the situation at hand alter the way I lived my daily life. While it was not easy, I am confident I made it through this time with the help of both Mr. Abboud's professional expertise and his willingness to connect with me on a personal level. I was a student at UD at the time, so I was unfamiliar with the attorneys in the area because I am from Chicago. I resorted to reading reviews such as the one I am currently writing to help make my decision. I can only hope that someone else is reading helpful reviews at this time to try and guide them on making a very big decision to make. You can rest assured going with Gounaris and Abboud knowing that they will do everything in their power to help you as both a person and a client. They have a great working relationship with the court, a great team of assistants able to help guide through any questions, and, most of all, they are great people. They are worth every penny charged and make it very easy to give them 5 stars each and every time. I do not want to imagine a scenario where I chose any other attorney than Mr. Abboud in the area. Go with Gounaris and Abboud and you will not have to second guess your decision!

They lied to me. Tony didn't show up to my court date. And were extremely rude. Wasted 2000 dollars and literally got nothing from them. Reported to ohio state bar
