601 S High St, Ste 107, Columbus, OH 43215

I am believer that people accused of a criminal offense deserve the most competent and experienced legal counsel possible for a fair and reasonable cost of representation. My team of criminal defense lawyers vigorously defends the rights of Ohioans accused of all types of State or Federal criminal offenses. I grew up in the Central Ohio area (small town of Bexley OH) and attended The Ohio State University for my undergraduate degree before obtaining my Juris Doctorate in Law at Capital University Law School. When I'm not in the court room, I like to spend my time with my family, volunteering with local organizations and charities, and playing sports. I also enjoy traveling that involves outdoor exploration and adventure.

His legal education culminated in a Juris Doctor from Cleveland Marshall Law School in 1981. Before law school, he studied history and English at Miami University, earning his undergraduate degree in 1978. After his admission to the Ohio bar in November 1981, John T. Corrigan hired Hilow as an assistant county prosecutor in the criminal division. He spent eleven years in the prosecutor’s office. An assignment to the major trial division followed in 1985, with work that included murder cases, rape cases and special investigations.
