Great message Carl. I do agree with your point of view regarding playing golf for your own enjoyment. In your case, the long putter is fine and you choose not to play in any sanctioned events. Your situation is not unique and in your case, you can and should use the putter that makes this great game of golf the game for a lifetime. Good luck to you in the future.
Wonderful post Fred. I agree with your input completely. Golf is a game for a lifetime and should be enjoyed by all. If you choose to play with a putter that soon will not conform to the rules, then be aware of the limitations as to when you can play with, sanctioned events or club events if they adopted this rule change.
I'm a standard putter, but I do have some compassion for the anchored putters out there. My interpretation was the use would be banned in 2016. Not just from competition like my wedges I can't use now and also can't use at all after 2026. In 2016, anchoring will be as legal as 15 clubs. Your best friends may be ok, but many others with regard for the US rules will object. Most clubs will tend to ban them for scrambles, etc. I'm ok allowing an exemption to 2026 so those 65+ that have purchased in the last couple of years could use them for the remainder of their careers.
Hi Carl i hope i didn't strike a nerve or come off the wrong way. my opinion is in agreement with the ruling and i have try'd to explain my agreement. as far as the casual use of the club i am all for it. i don't mind a person with a long putter so long as its casual. in the spirit of competition i agree it should not be used. but its true the game is meant for fun and enjoyment so continue to use it all you want in casual play. i would even play a money game with a person with a long putter so long as we established it was ok after the dead line.
cheers greens and fairways and i hope you continue to enjoy the game.
I cannot say I agree with the proposed rule change for two reason. The first is that it appears to me to be an irrational narrowing or constriction of the original rule 14-1 which simply stated that;
"14-1. Ball to be Fairly Struck At The ball must be fairly struck at with the head of the club and must not be pushed, scraped or spooned"
In keeping with the spirit of 14-1 there is no reasonable basis to disallow anchoring the elbows or hands to any part of the body as long as the ball is "fairly struck at". Keep in mind that all the interpretation I have ever seen surrounding this rule has to do with if a stroke is incurred when the ball is struck and not how the stroke is implemented.
If they were going to make an addition similar or the same as what is proposed under 14-1b it would have been more logical to me to do so under 14-3 and more specifically in part where it indicates that ;
.....Except as provided in the Rules, during a stipulated round the player must not use any artificial device or unusual equipment, or use any equipment in an unusual manner: a. That might assist him in making a stroke or in his play; ...
The problem they would have faced in trying to enlarge this to include anchoring the hands or elbows I believe would have been that they would have created a contradiction to another part of that same rule under the exceptions where it provides;
"2. A player is not in breach of this Rule if he uses equipment in a traditionally accepted manner."
Long putters have been in use since the 1980's and belly putters since as early as the 1960's when it was used by Phil Rogers. I don't think its an unreasonable statement to say that as both of these having been used with or without anchoring for the past 30 years or so that has been a clearly established traditional accepted manner of use for them.
I think the USGA recognized the anomaly they would be creating if they tried to regulate the use of the these putters in 14-3 where it really belonged and instead opted to add a very indefensible addition under 14-1 where it clearly does not belong.
To me the addition of 14-1b, particularly in the manner and where it has been added, evades the entire spirit and tradition of the rules as written and intended and for that reason I cannot agree with USGA's arbitrary and indefensible addition of it.
The entire rule 14-3 is as below for your reading;
"14-3. Artificial Devices, Unusual Equipment and Unusual Use of Equipment The United States Golf Association (USGA) reserves the right, at any time, to change the Rules relating to artificial devices, unusual equipment and the unusual use of equipment, and make or change the interpretations relating to these Rules. A player in doubt as to whether use of an item would constitute a breach of Rule 14-3 should consult the USGA. A manufacturer should submit to the USGA a sample of an item to be manufactured for a ruling as to whether its use during a stipulated round would cause a player to be in breach of Rule 14-3. The sample becomes the property of the USGA for reference purposes. If a manufacturer fails to submit a sample or, having submitted a sample, fails to await a ruling before manufacturing and/or marketing the item, the manufacturer assumes the risk of a ruling that use of the item would be contrary to the Rules. Except as provided in the Rules, during a stipulated round the player must not use any artificial device or unusual equipment, or use any equipment in an unusual manner: a. That might assist him in making a stroke or in his play; or b. For the purpose of gauging or measuring distance or conditions that might affect his play; or c. That might assist him in gripping the club, except that: (i) plain gloves may be worn; (ii) resin, powder and drying or moisturizing agents may be used; and (iii) a towel or handkerchief may be wrapped around the grip. Exceptions: 1. A player is not in breach of this Rule if (a) the equipment or device is designed for or has the effect of alleviating a medical condition, (b) the player has a legitimate medical reason to use the equipment or device, and (c) the Committee is satisfied that its use does not give the player any undue advantage over other players. 2. A player is not in breach of this Rule if he uses equipment in a traditionally accepted manner."
@David P - your argument is well stated, but may be moot. The new rule simply defines how a stroke may not be made and, makes no comment of the tools used to make the stroke. For example, in the past, the USGA and R&A ruled the feet cannot straddle the line of play to eliminate the "straddle" putting method used by Sam Snead. However, it also prevents playing a stroke anywhere on the course in this manner, resulting in the USGA and R&A defining how the stroke cannot be made. Their point is that one would not anchor the hands or club to make a standard shot. As an example, would you anchor your driver to hit a tee shot? Their point is that an anchored stroke does not "look" like a golf swing and therefore, is not a golf swing.
Fred- I'm sure you are correct and the argument is moot as they USGA will do what it will do regardless of being dead wrong. The point here is that where they placed the rule change is completely inappropriate as 14-1 has nothing to do with how the golf swing is defined. They knew this full well but did so to evade the issues they would have rightly faced if they had placed the definition change under 14-3 where it belonged.
Moreover, It is also a ridiculous extension of the rules in general which to my knowledge have not until now tried to limit the mechanics of the swing. A stroke has been fairly defined as "the forward movement of the club made with the intentionof striking at and moving the ball". There is nothing nor has their ever been to my knowledge any rubbish about the free movement of the hands.
I understand the USGA does this sort of thing from time to time, the point is whether it should in the best tradition of the game. I don't think that the founders of golf were not wise enough to limit (beyond what they did) the exact mechanics of a swing if they had wanted to, I think instead they were extremely wise in leaving it wide open so as to promote innovation in the way the swing occurs and the way the game is played.
I am not going to to change from my long putter with an anchored swing back to a short putter as I have already stated I do not play in sanctioned events. I do play in a monthly MGA event but the local rules are very liberal e.g. the 14 club rule is waved, may roll the ball a club length, putts inside the leather are good, etc. My observation is that the majority of golfers do not play by the rules of the game anyway. Common rule violations that can be seen on a regular basis are changing to a different ball once the green is reached, ball hit out of bounds or lost when searching for a wayward shot is just dropped in bounds or in area thought to be lost (leaf rule ??) with or without a stroke penalty. Hitting a provisonal without anouncing it, cleaning mud off a ball in the fairway, moving a ball out of a divot, without taking a penalty stroke. Looking for a lost ball more than 5 minutes, finding it and playing it without a penalty. Searching for a lost ball, not finding it, putting another ball in play and after striking it, finding the original ball and playing it disregarding the substitue ball which is really the ball in play without penalty. I could go on with these type of daily observations and so it would be the kettle calling the pot black for someone to say I am a cheater 3 years from now if I am still anchoring the putter to my body. Of course all of these observations are during "casual play" which 99 % of all golf is played even with all the members of this forum.
Dave, I agree it would have made more sense to further define rule 14-3 and state that anchoring is using the club in an unconventional manner that is not traditional, and is therefore a violation. Just the same, it's their rule book and they can (and will) do as they please. Being a golfer, I will follow their rules.
Today, the USGA and R&A laid it out and anchoring will be banned on 1/1/2014. Having had time to reflect on this issue, I asked a myself a question: "Why would a golfer anchor their putter?" Answer: It makes putting easier for them. Hence, anchoring offers an advantage to those players and no statistics need to be generated, or applied. Not to mention, the anchored stroke removes the "free-wheeling" aspect of what looks like a golf swing. In closing, the USGA and R&A are justified in their ruling. For what it's worth, I have always been against the use of anchored putting methods.
According to the USGA notice I received the rule goes into affect 1 Jan 2016 not 2014.

i joined twitter, then i followed obama and all that, then i tweeted at obama. some questions :-
1) should he or his assistants tweet me back a reply? (i tweeted like "hey obama im lost in the white house, can u send someone to help me find the exit? much thx")
2) if i tweet obama, does that mean everyone can see my tweet? or can only obama see my tweet? and on which web page does my tweet actually appear? Is it a public webpage? Cos i was wondering why everyone is not tweeting stuff like "hey obama, colour undies are cool" and stuff like that?

iraq / kundestan get busy and make up for losses, hedge funds soar }$$$$$$$
iran will take years to recover / report significant gains...to pre/ disruption levels. the same duel containment policy is in play, that was the Iran / Iraq war -albeit ,a new awareness.this will turn into a three ring circus, not contained by the juxtaposition of Iran and Iraq. time to show our hands. has the train stopped ? I don't know.what I am curious about in the energy sectors.sofa agreement has jus enough manpower (air power ) to ally Americans tired by unrealized gains and Iraq fiefdoms and their proxy. the blood, and courage of American soldiers ... they died for this ... oil and the power it brings .

What's the best way to set goals? Google Ventures Partner Rick Klau says the best goals center aroundh Objectives and Key Results (or OKRs). Over on the Google Ventures blog, Klau explains the pillars for exactly how to set worthwhile goals using OKRs:
• Objectives are ambitious, and should feel somewhat uncomfortable
• Key Results are measurable; they should be easy to grade with a number (at Google we use a 0 – 1.0 scale to grade each key result at the end of a quarter)
• OKRs are public; everyone in the company should be able to see what everyone else is working on (and how they did in the past)
• The "sweet spot" for an OKR grade is .6 – .7; if someone consistently gets 1.0, their OKRs aren't ambitious enough.
Watch Klau's presentation in the video below to see how Google came to use OKRs and why they've proven to be more powerful than simply setting an average, to-get-done goal. Or read Klau's story of how he first learned about OKRs on Google Ventures.
As a teacher, James Franco who also acts, writes, produces and directs, advises his students to create a close team of diverse talents to work with instead of relying on the industry. During an interview with Variety's Scott Foundas for Slamdance's "Coffee with…" series, Franco speaks about how it can be frustrating as an actor to learn your trade when you're dependent on others.
Part of me was probably really frustrated by the fact that I really trained as an actor but I was still dependent on all these other people to work, to really apply my trade. Like I would have to get cast in something or someone would have to write something that I liked or even if they did write something I liked, I would have to be lucky enough or whatever – prove myself enough to actually get it.
So one of the things that I do at my – I also have my own schools in New York and LA – one of the things that I really try to emphasis there is community, finding your people, so that you're not just dependent on the gatekeepers in the insular industry. But you have your people that can make movies and that's very much what this movie [Yosemite] is a result of. And really just go ahead and go do it. You can pursue traditional inroads to the industry but at the same time you can still be making your own things because you either know how to do it all, like you're a Seth Rogen who can write and act and direct or you have your group and you work with them.
Even if you are dependent on others in your industry, Franco says that is no excuse not to be applying your craft. Instead of networking with others directly in your occupation, like actors with actors, look to those you can collaborate with. Industrial designers should seek out manufacturers while graphic designers may look to web developers. Alternatively, you can learn to do everything to fully complete your project. Either way, don't allow others to be the cause for your standstill.
Newton's First Law of Motion says that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. What is said about objects in motion is equally true of our ability to do our best work and make an impact, both in our professional lives and personal ones. It's a lot less work to keep moving once you have momentum. Far easier than it is to try and slowly fight against every distraction or shortcoming that crosses your path.
To start each day with a little momentum, Naval Admiral William H. McRaven reminds us that we should make our beds when we wake up:
If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the big things right. And, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made—that you made—and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better. If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
McRaven's summary statement may sound a little far-fetched, but his advice is undoubtedly worth considering: if you want to make an impact at a large scale, you have to be comfortable making it at a small scale too. You can build that momentum up over time, but it all has to start somewhere. Just the momentum you gain from accomplishing simple tasks each morning (like making your bed, brushing your teeth, meditating, exercising, journaling, etc.) can create a positive stepping stone from which to take your next step.
Related: The Art of Momentum: Why Your Ideas Need Speed
The human body isn't designed to sit for eight hours at a stretch. Not only is it killing you, it's hindering your productivity. But research shows that frequently standing up from your desk to take a break can actually improve it.
Julia Gifford uses the time-tracking app DeskTime to study the habits of the most productive employees, and discovered a clear pattern:
The most productive people work for 52 minutes at a time, then break for 17 minutes before getting back to it. . .The reason the most productive 10% of our users are able to get the most done during the comparatively short periods of working time is that their working times are treated as sprints. They make the most of those 52 minutes by working with intense purpose, but then rest up to be ready for the next burst. In other words, they work with purpose.Working with purpose can also be called the 100% dedication theory—the notion that whatever you do, you do it full-on. Therefore, during the 52 minutes of work, you're dedicated to accomplishing tasks, getting things done, and making progress. Whereas, during the 17 minutes of break, you're completely removed from the work you're doing—you're entirely resting, not peeking at your email every five minutes or just "quickly checking Facebook."
It's not humanly possible to be productive for eight straight hours. Break your work day down into manageable chunks.
How do you find a job that, on your deathbed, you won't regret having devoted your professional life to? This short film created by The School of Life offers a handy guide to figuring out what work is right for you. Based on the ideas of philosopher and author Roman Krznaric, the video walks you through six main guiding principles for determining what career will be deeply meaningful:
Accept that being confused about your career choices is normal. Confusion and fear are natural.
Know yourself. For 99% of us, knowing what we want to do doesn't arise spontaneously.
Think a lot. It could take a year or more of sustained daily reflection to sort out exactly what professional path to pursue.
Try something. Take small, non-irrevocable steps to gather more information. Investigate through side projects.
Reflect on what makes people unhappy. Business is about solving other people's problems. Work is a chance to serve.
Be confident. The difference between success and failure is the courage to give it a go.
When the going gets tough, research shows the best indicator for whether or not you'll persevere (and succeed) is your ability to connect with a close community.
Social psychologists found that if we encounter a problem and have someone we can turn to who may have gone through a similar situation, we are more likely to overcome the challenge. Similarly, if we feel overwhelmed with a task, having a place to turn to for encouragement can be the motivator we need to keep going even when we feel entirely like giving up.
That's not to say you have to be an extrovert or full time, networking-pro to build the type of close group or community that encourages grit. As Highrise CEO Nathan Kontny has discovered: what matters is that you are open and unafraid to ask for help or advice whenever you might need it, whether it's from acquaintances online or co-workers across the hall:
Too many of us, especially those running businesses, suffer in isolation…We're told to fake it till we make it. Nonsense. I can't believe how many people tell me how well their company is doing, and three months later it's out of business. If only they had shared their challenges, maybe I or someone in their network could have helped.
Increasing your likelihood of persevering when the going gets tough comes down to who you have to turn to and whether or not you're open to doing so. If you have a network of people you can openly turn to whenever you need a fresh perspective or positive encouragement, you're likely to be better off than those who lock their problems up inside.
Kontny concludes by summarizing separate research studies which showed those who regularly succeed are those who connect with the community around them. He writes:
If people weren't alone, they persevered.
In an interview with Fast Company, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson discusses how frustrating products and services can serve as the best design briefs. Instead of looking for a brand new idea, recall your most recent aggravation. For Branson, it was trying to invest money:
We went into a financial services company—we set up a bank—because I wanted to invest money. And when the guy agreed to invest money for me, I looked down at the piece of paper, and it said "bid-offer spread 5%." I said, "Well, sorry, what is bid-offer spread? I'm dyslexic. I don't understand these things." He sort of looked a bit shifty, and when he had left, I asked someone else what bid-offer spread meant, and was told it meant he took 5% of my money before he even started. And so I thought, "Screw that, we're going into this business and we're going to compete!"
From music festivals to airlines to health clubs to financial services, if Branson doesn't like it, he designs it better himself. Although he may not seem like one to get annoyed by hotel hidden charges, like a $12 bottle of water in the room, it's quite the opposite. That, along with other frustrations, has Virgin Group now opening their own chain of hotels starting in Chicago.
Instead of criticizing someone else's work, look at it as an opportunity to do it yourself, and to do it better. Ideas don't have to be new, they just have to be better.

A singular, challenging resolution for 2013
Monday, December 31, 2012
New Year's resolutions are a dime a dozen. And the more you make the more you are apt to break.
On a more local level, Rochester Planning Directory Kenn Ortmann was accused of being complicit in a United Nations conspiracy to deny residents their property rights rather than to be simply challenged over his proposal to have the Lilac City cooperate with regional planning efforts.

Tuesday, September 24, 2013
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. James Perkins, Westminster College professor emeritus of English, will have a book of poems published in October.
Decembers is a collection of poems written by Perkins beginning in 1973 to accompany the Christmas cards his wife writes to friends and family each year.
According to Mercer University Press, "These poems arise out of memory, both of the author and those of others. In them Perkins is much more interested in the images of the season, the sights, the sounds, the scents, the textures, and the tastes than he is in the abstractions: joy, love, warmth, and gratitude. He is more interested in what the season is than in what it means."
Perkins, who has been with Westminster College since 1973, earned an undergraduate degree from Centre College, a master's from Miami University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee.
Perkins taught creative writing courses at Westminster for 30 years. During the fall term of 1998, he was a Fulbright Visiting Professor at Seoul National University in Korea. Perkins earned the 2006 Westminster College Distinguished Faculty Award and was previously honored as a Henderson Lecturer and a McCandless Fellow. His publications include: The Cass Mastern Material: The Core of Robert Penn Warren's "All the King's Men;" Snakes, Butterbeans, and the Discovery of Electricity, a short story collection; and Southern Writers at Century's End, co-edited with Jeffrey J. Folks.
Contact Perkins at 724-946-7342 or email for additional information.

Breakfast Topic: Do you like PvP?
As the PvP columnist here at WoW Insider, I am really quite keen on PvP! And one thing I'm really hoping to do with my columns is to get people into PvP, get people enjoying it and so on. I personally think that once you understand a few basic things about PvP, you're far more likely to enjoy it, but maybe I'm wrong.
I can think of various reasons you might not like it. I wasn't super-keen when I first started WoW. I didn't understand what resilience was. I didn't understand Battleground brackets. I didn't understand the importance of CC. I didn't know about gear. If someone duelled me, I declined. But that changed!
So I'd love to hear, first, whether you're a fan of PvP or not -- and most important, the reasons for your opinion. If you could have some advice that might prompt you to start PvPing, what would it be? As Dr. Cox says in Scrubs, "Help me to help you!"

It sets a foreboding tone, but by the time the credits roll, the film has transformed itself, quite effortlessly, into what is to be the thematic basis for the series: that of a high seas adventure replete with plenty of action and drama, but with a serious sense of humor tossed in, a nearly perfect amalgamation of cinematic gold resulting in one of the most lucrative movie franchises of all time. Unfortunately, the two sequels fail to live up to the lofty standards established by Curse of the Black Pearl. Overly long and complex, introducing new and less interesting characters, featuring acting that becomes stiffer and far less organic, and a script that just tries too hard, the series is ultimately a disappointment. Make no mistake about it, however, each film is an entertaining watch with a treasure trove of special effects and grandiose action sequences.

He primarily helps clients charged with drunk driving, alcohol & drug violations and first offender felonies; in fact, he has successfully represented more than 4,000 people charged with DUI. His career has led to being selected for inclusion in the list of Rising Stars℠.

He is continually sought out as a guest speaker at continuing legal seminars (CLE) and has completed several comprehensive courses on field sobriety tests.
Attorney Fran Tosi Ward limits her practice to helping adolescents and young adults who have been criminally charged; she has a particular interest in helping clients diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). She is known for being a tireless advocate in cases that range from drug & alcohol violations to sexual offenses.
Dan Gantt works closely with Attorney Brad Koffel on almost all of his cases. As a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio Northern University, he is typically the first face our clients see in court each morning. Although he is not a licensed attorney, he plays an integral role in the functioning of our practice on a daily basis.
Prior to joining The Koffel Law Firm, Jeff Stavroff was an assistant prosecuting attorney at the Columbus City Attorney's Office. Jeff is an experienced litigator who has handled many jury and bench trials, as well as countless hearings. Jeff brings a unique perspective to our firm – that of a former prosecutor.

In 2012, Attorney Fran Tosi Ward founded what may be the country's first criminal defense practice for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) clients. Attorney Fran Ward is actively involved in the ASD community at the national level. The firm's mission is to educate the courts and prosecutors about ASD teens and adults and the best ways to communicate and discipline them for criminal transgressions. Many kids are on the spectrum and are being adjudicated as juvenile delinquents and treated inappropriately by the courts. Many parents aren't sure if their kids are "on the spectrum" or not. The behaviors and nuances of these kids and young adults must be understood by the lawyers advocating for them in the criminal courts as well as those prosecuting and judging them.
We recommend the Koffel Law Firm because they operate with a high level of integrity and professional expertise. We brought a complex situation for Mr. Koffel to review because it dealt not only with criminal charges but addiction problems. We interviewed other attorneys and heard various approaches to solve the criminal situation. Only Brad realized the seriousness of the situation and recommended an approach to treat the total person and re-launch our family member as a positive member of society.
It turns out the Koffel Law Firm has excellent resources to help a person fighting the disease of addiction. That fact is a huge bonus. Legally, it quickly became apparent the Koffel Law Firm has great expertise with the courts and we believe they are respected for their forthright, prompt and honest communication. Our situation is ongoing and how this ends is still evolving.
We are writing this review at this time so other parents entangled with a loved one in this vicious web of addiction and related crime and agonizing over how and where to begin can find comfort that they have found a great resource right here! If you are researching the Koffel Law Firm, you are taking a strong step in the right direction. We now know our loved one is safe, getting treatment, gaining confidence and has one of the best legal teams, anywhere in America, defending their rights. We will try to do a follow up posting at a later date. We know this is a long journey but we have faith. We are thankful we have the Koffel Law Firm by our side.

We Know How to Pick Our Clients: Why do we have happy clients and extremely high rates of success? We start with only accepting cases and clients that we believe have the factors that point towards a favorable resolution. We are primarily interested in accepting clients who have no or very limited previous contact with the criminal courts. We are looking for cases that have a high potential for a favorable outcome in terms of treatment in lieu of conviction, diversion, misdemeanors, probation, and non-prison terms.
Who We Won't Represent: A healthy and successful attorney-client relationship requires a clear understanding of a law firm's practice limits. We do not accept violent deadly weapon crimes, acts of violence or sex crimes against children, habitual felons, or gang members. Our lawyers and staff will treat our client with utmost respect and dignity and we expect the same in return from a client. We will fire a client who mistreats or is rude to our staff. We will not represent a client who lies or misleads us.
Are We Right for You? We know what we do and you can read what we do. However, the best peace of mind you can find in hiring a lawyer is to hear from past clients. Read what our clients have to say -- CLIENT REVIEWS.
24/7/365 The Koffel Law Firm acts quickly, every day of the week, and every day of the year. If you or someone you care about is in jail, call us. We can probably get them out today. (To learn more about jail release, click Jail Release & Immediate Bond Hearings.) If you or someone you know has a court date right around the corner, we can most likely handle it. If you or someone you know has been contacted by a detective, call us before speaking to the detective. In all likelihood, we've seen your situation many, many times before. We have low retainers, connections with bail bondsmen, and we know all the judges and prosecutors quite well in the counties in which we practice. In Criminal / DUI law, being quick, connected, and reputable are the keys to success.
Same Day & Next Day Appointments Because clients and their families are scared, we are specifically designed to get you in for a consultation immediately. We always have an attorney at the office with open office hours, Monday - Fridays. Call 614-675-4845 if you would like to come in for a meeting.
It's Not What You Know, It's Who You Know When you get arrested or are under investigation, you want a lawyer who knows the people on the other side - the police, the prosecutors and the judges. This is our bread and butter.
We Are Active In Seeking Sentencing Alternatives, Diversion & Deferred Prosecutions Many offenses and offenders may qualify for pre-indictment dispositions such as diversion. Post-indictment may permit intervention in lieu of conviction or non-prison sentencing alternatives. We are vocal and passionate about finding non-prison alternatives for our clients.
The Koffel Law Firm offers an exceptionally personal approach to client care, beginning with access to a client navigator. From the first day you become a client, a client navigator will be assigned to you. You will have his or her cell phone number and personal email address. What is a client navigator? A client navigator provides personalized assistance to help clients cope with all the questions, issues and emotions and you'll face throughout the process of being investigated and/ or prosecuted.
From your very first visit, you'll find your client navigator to be an indispensable resource, highly adept at augmenting your attorney's expertise. He or she will link you to the services, education and support you need to successfully navigate your case, restore your peace of mind and overcome the uncertainties associated with being a defendant.
Many clients say that their client navigator drastically reduces their own personal stress by assisting them with: courthouse information, explaining legal terms, facilitating communication with your attorney, coordinating and scheduling appointments, offering information on your case upon your request, and simply lending a compassionate ear.
When you need an advocate, someone who will fight for you against your criminal charges, contact a Columbus criminal defense lawyer at The Koffel Law Firm. Our legal team is known throughout the legal community and courts in the Columbus area as a hard-hitting and competent criminal defense group. No matter how terrible your situation may appear, the legal team can review the details and evidence and strategize a defense to fight for you. Call 614-675-4845.
Most individuals may only need legal counsel once in their lives - but when you need a lawyer, you want one that is highly professional, skilled, and will aggressively fight for you. Our legal team has extensive courtroom experience, which is an advantage for the client. Over time, it is natural that relationships develop throughout the court system, which can greatly smooth the progress of negotiations on your behalf.
Being charged with a crime is a frightening and distressing situation. It is crucial that you have faith that the lawyer representing you understands fully the importance of the case to your future. Our legal team takes pride in their dedication to the client. Your case will be given the priority attention it deserves.
The most critical factor is that you move fast when you have been arrested and charged with a criminal offense. Getting legal representation from the firm immediately after the arrest is extremely important, and it can make the case more difficult to engage in answering questions from police or federal investigators without a lawyer from the firm present to protect your rights. Strong defense starts from the moment of arrest.
If you were arrested for a crime, it is highly recommended that the first step you take is to talk to a qualified attorney. Even if you did not do anything wrong, what you tell authorities could be misunderstood. Instead, you should allow a Columbus criminal defense attorney from our firm to examine your case and the evidence against you.
If you were already convicted of a crime, we could help you appeal your case. Many attorneys choose not to do this as it can be complicated and time-consuming. However, we understand that individuals are falsely accused of crimes every day and want to do our best to defend them. You can rely on us no matter how serious and hopeless your circumstances may appear. No case is exactly alike and so it is crucial that you speak with a member of our legal team. We will work tirelessly to protect your future and your freedom.

Most phone calls are handled immediately with one of our trained support staff and we can give guidance in 15 minutes or less.
Fast, Personal Service
The firm's bench strength is the rare personal touch that is hard to find with most professional services providers.

We are available to non-clients for telephone interviews and fast assistance 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. 7 days a week.

Most of our clients hire us over the phone and we are in court with them the next day or a few days later.
A Niche Firm with Low Retainers and Payment Options
You may be surprised at how reasonable our retainers are. Depending upon the type of charge, county, and prior record, we are able to work out legal fees for 500 people per year. For qualified clients, we can offer payment terms. The cases we are primarily interested in helping people fall into the following categories. This is not an all-inclusive list.
