About

Attorney Felter has had success for his clients in multiple areas of litigation, winning cases and obtaining favorable settlement agreements in domestic relations cases, civil cases, and OVI and criminal cases in the appellate, common pleas, and muncipal courts of Ohio.  Additionally, he's successfully litigated for clients in front of administrative pannels in Ohio, such as county tax boards, child support agencies, and uneployment commissions.A large part of Attorney Felter's practice is domestic relations litigation, in which he regularly obtains favorable property and custody/visitation settlements for his clients.  Notably, in the past year he's successfully advocated for parents looking to protect their children from unstable ex-spouses/partners with psychological and/or substance abuse problems.  In two separate cases, he successfully petitioned the Court for a change of custody on behalf of the father due to the fact that the mothers, who had custody prior to each respective case being filed, were unstable and unfit to have custody of the children.  In two other cases, Attorney Felter advocated on behalf of two mothers, successfully petitioning the Court to terminate the fathers' visitation and contact with their children due to their respective instability and substance abuse.Additionally, Attorney Felter has obtained several notable criminal plea bargains for his clients, including an attempted murder and felonious assault case which resulted in his client being placed on probation instead of prison; a first degree felony rape that Attorney Felter was able to get dismissed outright; and a felony OVI/DUI case which Attorney Felter was able to reach a plea deal in which his client did not recieve any jail time, despite the fact that this was the client's 7th lifetime OVI and that he had served 6 months in prison on his last OVI.Attorney Felter has recieved numerous awards from national and state legal honors groups, and is very active in the community outside of work, serving on various non-profit and philanthropic community boards. For a consultation, please feel free to contact me today at 419-871-8322 or [email protected]

John did a great job on a DUI case for me in Sandusky. I had several prior DUI's and did a good amount of jail time on the last one, so I was afraid of a lengthy jail sentence. He worked the court system perfectly, and was able to get me just a three day alcohol class instead of any jail. Would definitely call him again if I need a lawyer anytime soon.

John is excellent. He really cares about his clients he has texted me after hours to calm my nerves. He is terrific at negotiations. I'm really glad the Eagles club recommend this firm. I'm from Texas originally and have never had any legal trouble. If the need arises John is saved in my phone.

John did a good job for me in handling a custody matter. He is thorough and up front and advocates well for his clients. I will use him again if the need arises.

I live in Sandusky, but ran into trouble in Cleveland while visiting friends. I had never had criminal charges before (only a traffic ticket) and was unfamiliar with the Cleveland court system. I hired John based on a recommendation, and was pleased with his professional, respectful attitude. John's communication was thorough and prompt and I didn't have to worry about taking too much time from work to deal with my charges. He was able to have them dropped, and it saved me from the worry and expense of handling the case myself.

He took on the case, knowing what our goal was, to be heard in front of the judge, agreed to represent accordingly, and made an about face at court, demeaning and arrogantly. I would not recommend him at all. Tried to charge over 4 hours for RESEARCH? It was a simple disorderly conduct case...which the roofers stealing our electric, working on home across the street, without our consent to plug in our outside outlet. He makes it sound like he knows what he is doing, then back pedals when it comes time to try the case. Very upsetting, along with we would not have hired an attorney, if we knew what he ended up doing at court at final hearing, why would you spend that kind of money to argue a very minor charge, under the guise he would help, being client was not guilty of the charge.
