About

I am a sole practitioner attorney practicing law in the areas of personal injury, family law and social security disability. I have been a practicing attorney for over 20 years. I have lived and worked in Central Ohio for most of the past 35 years. While attending night law school at Capital University, I learned the ropes of the legal system by serving as a law clerk/bailiff and later staff attorney at the Ohio Court of Claims, located in Columbus Ohio from 1988-1991. I graduated from Capital Law School in 1991. In 1991, I began my private practice in Worthington, Ohio doing primarily Victims of Crime Compensation, domestic or family law and public defender work in two counties. The Victims of Crime injury work lead to personal injury cases of significant size. The desire to be self-employed lead to handling more and more divorce and custody cases. In 1997, I bought and restored an older home in Delaware Ohio and created "Jack's Law Office" . My office is dedicated to helping individuals and families through what is often the most difficult time of their life: loss of a loved one in wrongful death, or breakup of the family unit in divorce. Through consistent hard work and ongoing development, I have been able to achieve great results in each practice area and thrive despite tough economic times and extremely competitive markets. Since 1980 I've been married to Nan Carney-DeBord. My wife, Nan, current Athletic Director at Denison University, was previously the long-time Women's Basketball Coach at Ohio Wesleyan University. We have two children: Tyler, a sophomore at Ohio Wesleyan University, is a member of the OWU golf team and Taylor, better known as TJ, is a 7th grader in the Granville City School system and a member of the 7th grade basketball team and the 7th and 8th grade golf team. My motto is "never give up and never give in." (At least until the Judge tells you to stop!) My success in the law practice comes a second time around: I was a very successful college baseball entrepreneur and professional baseball scout in my first career and still can be found coaching with a passionate smile in local flag football, basketball and baseball leagues. I am the Immediate Past President of the Delaware County Bar Association and member of the Ohio Association for Justice and American Association of Justice. I was formerly a Board Member for one of the largest women's domestic violence shelters in the state of Ohio, Turning Point. I am also a mediator in personal injury, domestic and foreclosure cases.

Jack was my Divorce attorney for my Newark Ohio case. Jack did a outstanding job for me to ensure my questions were answered and exceeded my expectations. He got the case done much sooner than I thought. He was informational. He was personal and friendly. He made a difficult situation smoother and more clear for me. I especially liked how he provided clarification and education regarding legal requirements and the court process . I would highly recommend him for any domestic issues.

I hired Jack as my lawyer and he did a wonderful job in taking care of my case, he truly care for me, provided me with updates, he was available to answer to my questions/concerns. He did a great job during my trial, he did all the right moves and at the end He was able to proof that I was right and I was satisfied with the magistrate resolution. I was representing myself but it was a big mistake so I spend money in Jack because my peace of mind do not have a price. He is a great lawyer

Jack represented me for my Dissolution in Delaware Ohio. Jack took care of everything and I could not be more pleased. I felt that my needs did come first because he was constantly in touch and took care of everything. Ask him for his Monday call list-great way to stay in touch. This was my second attorney and it was like night and day. My case was painful as well as difficult. My Husband ended up in a nursing home at the last minute and Jack still got it done on time.

Friendly, caring, understanding, truthful, honest, throughout the entire process even through the tearful days - no matter what he was there for me. Jack took care of me and did not worry about what he was going to get out of this type of case. Jack was truthful from the beginning of the case until the end about how tough this type of case was going to be.

This lawyer charges a flat fee. He gets paid every so many months. Weather he does any work or not. I used him in my divorce case until I had to let him go. We agreed verbally in court on a divorce agreement. After six months of this lawyer putting minimal effort into getting this matter settled. I ran out of money and had to go to court myself.

I was a client of this attorney. He was always about the money and failed to follow up most issues with my case. He would call every Monday to update me on my case and then charge me significant amounts of money to do so. He actually charged me $140 to say "I am still working on it." He actually used comments he attributed to me on his website. Of course he made them positive which, obviously, isn't how I feel. Comments I never made

He seemed like a competent lawyer at first but then after a few weeks / months, he changed. He did not look after my interests. He is rude and obnoxious and only cares about his fees. He didn't perform the critical research needed for my case until the 11th hour...Keep looking there are better lawyers in this area than this clown...
