Background and Credentials
My name is Austin Klapp. I am an attorney primarily practicing in criminal law. I also act as the Prosecutor for Waterville, Ohio. I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio. I went to high school in St. Francis de Sales and attended college and law school at the University of Toledo. I love to practice law and help people through my practice. I graduated from Law School in 1997 and soon after acquired my law license in Texas where I practiced until 2000. Upon returning back to my home town I then acquired my Ohio license to practice law and worked early on in the family, collection, and criminal areas of law.
I have always taken pride in, whatever case and client, communication and listening to the clients needs and their understanding of what their expectations are with my representation.
Austin has been of counsel at Mahaffey & Associates since 2022.

What Austin Handles at Mahaffey & Associates
Austin actively works cases across Civil Litigation, Housing and Eviction Matters, Civil Protection Orders, as well as Criminal and Traffic matters — not as a hand-off attorney, but as the person who knows your file. At a firm this size, that means real accountability: when you have a question, you reach the attorney who is actually working your matter.
The firm covers family law, criminal defense, bankruptcy, and estate planning under one roof, which means Austin can draw on colleagues with complementary experience when a case calls for it — without sending you somewhere else.
