- Criminal DefenseWe would like to take a moment to share with you a few of the criminal defense results that we have been able to obtain for our clients in a variety of criminal cases. Again, please note that every arrest and court case is different and our analysis of a case depends on the unique facts involved in the case. No two cases are the same and we cannot guarantee any outcome for you and your case. Likewise, sometimes we are not able to reach a plea agreement with the prosecutor which results in the client being faced with the difficult decision whether to take the case to trial or enter a change of plea to “guilty”. If our client wants to take the case to trial, we work hard and do the best job we can, but taking a case to trial is completely unpredictable. If our client wants to change their plea to “guilty”, then we do our best to mitigate the judge’s sentence. Either way, we will give you our best opinion as to the quality of the evidence, the risks involved and the minimum and maximum penalties.
- DUI/DWIOhio laws for operating a vehicle under the influence (DUI/OVI) state that it is illegal to operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. In addition it is illegal for a person to have a prohibited concentration of alcohol or drugs in their breath, blood, or urine while operating a vehicle. When you are arrested for operating under the influence, it is based upon the officer’s opinion until he takes a blood, breath or urine test. The officer’s opinion is based on several factors, and it is best to contact an Ohio DUI lawyer if you have been arrested for DUI/OVI.
- Traffic ViolationsChad provides excellent service, and did a great job of representing me for a traffic ticket issue. I was facing a large fine and possible license suspension, and Chad got it all worked out for a small fine, and no points on my license. I couldn’t be more satisfied, and will use Chad for any future incidents. I will and do often recommend him to my friends and family for all of their legal needs as well.
- Sex CrimesDelaware County, Ohio – My client was charged with several sex offenses and the jury trial lasted 3 days. After more than 24 hours, the jury returned a split verdict at 7:30 pm on Friday night. The jury confessed that they were a “hung jury for several hours” before ultimately returning a verdict of Not Guilty on 3 counts of Rape, but Guilty on 2 counts of Rape.
- BurglaryColumbus, Ohio – My client was charged with Burglary and was facing 2-8 years in prison. After negotiating with the prosecutor, I secured a plea deal for my client to the misdemeanor charge of Theft. At sentencing, my client was given credit for 10 days previously served in jail and was released. No felony, no jail, no probation and no fine.

- MisdemeanorsMisdemeanor charges and penalties in the state of Ohio depend on the nature of the crime. State law categorizes misdemeanor violations by degree of severity, with minor misdemeanor crimes being the least serious and 1st degree misdemeanor crimes being the most serious.

- Probation ViolationColumbus, Ohio DUI/OVI – My client was charged in Franklin County Municipal Court with OVI in June 2012. It was my client’s 3rd arrest (with one prior conviction) for OVI in the past 20 years and was still on probation for a “physical control” violation. My client did poorly on the field sobriety tests and refused the breath test. He was charged with both OVI and Refusal (of the breath test) with a Prior Conviction. In addition, he was charged with a probation violation for the arrest. After discussing the case with the Judge and Prosecutor, I was able to negotiate a deal for my client to include both the OVI charge and the probation violation. My client attended a 3 day certified driver intervention program, paid a fine of $375 and was granted driving privileges during the court ordered suspension for the minimum 6 months. No jail for the OVI or the probation violation.
