Firm Summary

John C. Meehling is the founder of the firm, serving his clients since 2005.  Mr. Meehling is a lifelong resident of the Miami Valley.  He graduated from Dayton Christian High School, having attended his entire primary and secondary years in the DC school system.  After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management from Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky, John gained invaluable sales and management experience in a variety of industries.  Whether it was sales and marketing, real estate, or running retail stores and restaurants at the General Manager level, John left a trail of successful results wherever he worked.  John’s desire to become more of a positive and lasting influence in people’s lives, though, led him to go back to school and earn his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Dayton School of Law.  During law school John not only clerked for Southern Ohio’s Top Ranked Personal Injury Firm of “Dyer, Garofalo, Mann & Schultz”, but after his first year, John was chosen to work as a White House Intern in the White House Travel Office.  In that environment, he answered directly to three attorneys who were responsible for the travel arrangements of the White House Press Corps, among many other things.  The outstanding quality of John’s work resulted in him earning a coveted “Blue Pass” from his superiors which gave him unlimited access to the White House grounds (except for the President’s residence).

​Mr. Meehling is licensed to practice law in all Common Pleas (Felony) and Municipal (Misdemeanor) courts throughout the State of Ohio as well as the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (Federal) and United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio (Chapter 7 Bankruptcy).  He is a current member of the American and Greene County Bar Associations and is a member of the Greene County Ethics Committee.  He is a past member of the Ohio State Bar Association, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Dayton Bar Association, and the Dayton Bar Committee for Criminal Justice.  Mr. Meehling also regularly functions as either the Attorney or Guardian ad Litem for indigent children in the Montgomery County Juvenile Court.

​Before starting his own firm in 2012, John worked as an attorney for Dayton’s prestigious Criminal Law firm of Rion, Rion & Rion, for the highly respected McNamee Law Office which specializes in Family Law, and for the 77-year old law firm of Holzfaster, Cecil, McKnight & Mues located near Oakwood.  These days, Mr. Meehling will routinely appear in 3-4 courts daily…courts from Greene or Montgomery County, to Clark, Clinton, Champaign, Logan, Warren, Butler, or Hamilton counties.  As an attorney with a very unique mix of legal, business, and sales experience, Mr. Meehling is able to successfully litigate or mitigate any case he accepts.

​As evidence of that, Mr. Meehling was recently able to aggressively defend a client charged with a felony at a jury trial.  Mr. Meehling’s closing argument was so persuasive that after the jury left the courtroom to deliberate, they chose a foreman, reviewed the evidence, and reached a “NOT GUILTY” verdict in a mere 9 minutes.
