Wood County Public Defender

"Let this be a written statement against Mrs. Lian Stryker for unprofessional behavior and misrepresention. (And I'm saying this after everything got dismissed) I have nothing to gain by saying that after calling her to say thank you and ask for information she decided to play victim for my curiosity on reason for dismissal. She said she helped me but I never got an idea with what. She said the case was dismissed on their end. After telling her I'll call her back at a better time she got angry and told me she would not be representing me further.... she needs to be striked Update on 1/10/24 she never actually got anything dismissed and missi representation. She filed wrong and have wasted my time.and money"

"Beth Mertz has to be one of the worst people I have ever needed help from in my life, I am now being harassed by people in the community and I have all the information that I was screwed over by her, and the prosecutor did not give me all of my evidence. Beth did not do her job or she was working with the prosecutor, how did she not get the information from the officer that gave me the tickets that said in her own words that she never seen anything or left her office I knew I was screwed when she said "what was my defense?" I didn't think I had to do her job, my defense is her or that is what I assumed anyway. I also believe she was the one calling the news so I looked bad. I have never seen the News take any time on a case like mine. The justice system is not running how it should be ran to punish people so severely who are honest, hard working trying to follow the law."

"Leann Striker's exceptional expertise and dedication truly set her apart as a top-tier DUI attorney. Her meticulous approach to my case, coupled with her in-depth knowledge of DUI laws, ensured a favorable outcome. Leann's unwavering commitment, coupled with her excellent communication skills, provided me with confidence and reassurance throughout the process. I highly recommend Leann Striker for anyone seeking a skilled and reliable DUI attorney."

"LeAnn Striker went above and beyond and argued my case, gave a fighting argument and was able to overturn the charges. She was honest with me from moment one, kept in touch with me throughout the whole legal process. Hands down a great Lawyer and representative."

"I agree with Rocky 100 percent. Beth Merz has sent me numerous threatening letters, texts, and voicemails. Just because someone works for an organization that calls itself a “Public Defender’s Office” doesn’t mean they are motivated by serving the public interest. Justin Daler has sullied the reputation of his alma mater (St. John’s Jesuit High School) by allowing Beth Merz to continue working in the Wood County Public Defender’s office. “Men for Others” is a catchy marketing slogan, but some “Men for Others” are dumb jocks. Daler's stubborn and inexplicable refusal to fire Beth Merz is a black mark on his record and the record of the Wood County (Ohio) government. These people never stopped Bowling Green (Ohio) Municipal Court Judge Mark Reddin of Liberty Township, Ohio from maliciously prosecuting me, publicly defaming me, and assassinating my character for months. Now, Reddin has just appointed Merz again in another criminal case for a false arrest that is wasting my time and the taxpayers’ money. I have just reported all parties involved in this case to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Hate Crimes Unit. They need to be incarcerated, as they are a threat to the public."
