About
I believe that to be able to adequately evaluate a case and advise a client an attorney must have experience dealing with cases in court. I have handled cases in nearly half of Ohio's 88 counties. It is this experience that allows me the ability to negotiate favorable resolutions outside of the courtroom as well as obtain them in the courtroom. I believe in a dual focus approach to litigation. I feel that an attorney should always work to resolve a case without a trial to avoid the costs, both financially and emotionally, that clients have with litigation. I also believes at the same time that an attorney should be preparing the case for trial. This dual focus allows the attorney to be prepared for all issues that arise and provide the client with the best alternatives and results in their cases. An attorney that is experienced in the courtroom and is not afraid to litigate a case can often provide a better perspective for clients on the reasonableness of their position as well as the likelihood of succeeding on various issues by litigation.

My case took a lot of unforeseen turns, but Joe and his co-counsel, Erin Sanford, stood by my side through every step. From the very first consultation, Joe gave me such clear insight and advice on how to proceed. I’ve struggled with writing this review, which Joe and the entire team at NLG would get a good laugh out of, as I’m rarely at a loss for words… However, I’m unsure how to adequately share all of his exceptional qualities in a few sentences. He sets the bar and is truly the standard by which other attorneys should be held. He is proactive, knowledgeable, honest, prepared, realistic, and truly dedicated to his clients. Although no one can predict the outcome of any custody dispute, you can be confident that Joe will always guide you in the right direction to obtain the best possible outcome for you and your child. NLG’s support staff (Lynn and Zach) are just as impressive as their counsel. Joe and Erin (Sanford) had my back during the scariest, most stressful time in my life thus far… For their patience, support, and guidance, I will always be grateful!
I had to secure an attorney to represent me: divorce. (Hocking County). During my initial consultation, Joe listened to my story. He was extremely honest with his concerns as to how things might turn out for me: not much in my favor. Yet, as the proceedings unfolded, continued, and so on- Joe and his staff were experienced, prepared and were ALWAYS ready to jump the hurdle, and/or tackle the next event or surprise. The outcome was EXTREMELY successful- IN MY FAVOR. THANKS to the skill, knowledge, and talent of Joe and his team! MANY THANKS TO JOE, COURTNEY, LYNN AND ZACH) Brenda
My case took a turn for the worse 3 years into the litigation process and I was referred to Joe Nigh by another attorney. I was told he would be conscientious and industrious with my case. Upon first meeting Joe, you get the sense that he is a straight shooter and will tell it like it is. That's exactly what I needed. Unfortunately my case was so complex by the time I hired Joe that there was a lot of untangling that needed to happen in order to get my case pointed in the right direction. Joe's perseverance and tenacity never waivered. I felt extremely supported and very well represented. Joe kept on the straight and narrow and connected me with all the right people and eventually my case got turned around. It was a tremendous undertaking and I couldn't have had a better advocate for my case than Joe. I will be eternally grateful for the attention and care I was afforded by this law firm. I've even gone to Joe for other legal needs pertaining to my business and he referred me to the right people. Thank you Nigh Law Group.
If you find yourself or your loved ones in a position to need caring competent legal counsel then your search should end with this firm. Joe and Courtney are absolutely two of the best attorneys available in Columbus Ohio. Everyone in this practice is absolutely amazing to deal with. Joe and Courtney treat everyone with the utmost of respect and go above and beyond to help with your situation. Lynn and Zach are always there to take a call or help in any way. We feel blessed to have all of them on our side.
Joseph came highly recommended, he handled a custody case for me. He was always available to me and his assistant, Lynn was fantastic also. They told me exactly what to expect and all was handled very professionally. Meeting Joe in person was a pleasant experience, he was prepared and I found him to be very personable, kind and down to earth.
My experience with Joe was wonderful. He is compassionate, honest and always listened to my thoughts and needs. He had my back and best interest at heart at all times. He and his team were fantastic to work with in all aspects.
After a cheap attorney botched an easy uncontested divorce hearing, I hired Joeseph Nigh to handle the most important matter of my life - my children. During a very unique and complicated divorce that spanned 3 and a half years (2011 - 2014) I hired Joe to step in to represent me and my children's best interest. I read multiple reviews on how prepared and knowledgeable he was, but was still amazed when I saw him in action. He took the time to understand every facet of my case, and calculated every decision meticulously. In the court room nothing throws him off, and his wit is unmatched. If he wasn't immediately available, he was very quick to respond to my seemingly endless inquiries. He never made me feel like I was a burden. I felt like my case was always a priority to him. In other words, I never felt like he was putting my concerns, filings, or otherwise on hold so that he could deal with another client. His knowledge and expertise is unrivaled, and I couldn't imagine a better outcome than the one he helped me obtain; every single thing I asked for. I would highly recommend him to any father going through a divorce where children are involved. As with everything in life - you get what you pay for.
Joe Nigh was recommended to me by the Columbus Bar Association. During the course of my search for the right lawyer, I interviewed and selected Joe to represent my 17-year old son with a juvenile delinquency case with the Franklin County Juvenile Court. Joe and the entire staff at The Nigh Law Group were professional, attentive, knowledgeable, personable, and kind. Joe always took the time to sit down with me, my son and my wife throughout the process. Joe was available to speak to me over the phone and the staff at his law firm were also there to support. Joe also took the time to life counsel my son as part of serving as his attorney. Joe “walks the talk” – everything he said to us he did. He is professional, approachable, genuine, straightforward, firm and fair – he cares. In terms of his compensation – he was worth his fee – he delivered value throughout the process and in the end delivered a positive outcome for my son. I would highly recommend Joe and The Nigh Law Group to anyone who has need for a strong, knowledgeable, and dedicated attorney.
Joe, Courtney and their wonderful legal staff could not have been any more helpful and knowledgeable in their legal expertise and representation! They get the job done in a very stressful time in a most caring and professional manner!!
I first consulted with Joe about school district issues and it evolved I into a full blown custody case. Joe was very honest and frank, always guiding me in the right direction. He was always prepared and I never worried about how he would handle my case. Everyone at the Nigh Law Group office were fantastic also, always helpful and responsive. The outcome of my case was far beyond what I expected and I couldn't be more happier. If in doubt on who to use for legal counsel, use Joe Nigh.
