Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
• DUI/DWI
  According to Mothers against Drunk Driving, an average of 1400 college age students are dying every year from alcohol poisoning. Alcohol also brings secondary dangers from its use, including injuries (an average of 500,000 per year), sexual assaults (an average of 70,000 per year) and unprotected sex (an average of 400,000 per year.) With binge drinking (consuming more than five drinks in a row for men, four drinks in a row for women) practically considered part of college life, these alarming statistics start to make sense.

• Misdemeanors
  Owners who have a history of failing to restrain their dogs will be charged with a misdemeanor if their dog bites someone. However, if you fail to register and restrain your dog and it kills someone, you are guilty of a fourth-degree felony and the court could order that the dog be put down. Other serious injuries resulting from a dog bite injury, in other cases, may result in a court order to euthanize the dog.
• Assault
• Murder
  After graduation from The University of Toledo Law School in 1983, Mike became employed as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in the adult felony division of the Lucas County Prosecutor’s office. From 1983 to 1989 Mike prosecuted hundreds of cases including two death penalty murder trials. Since 1989, Mike has almost exclusively handled personal injury and insurance matters. All told, he has tried more than 100 jury trials throughout northwest Ohio, including a recovery of $1.25 million against a trucking company for a client seriously injured at a truck stop.
• Arson
  State Farm engages in such behavior when it comes to its fire insurance coverage. The International Association of Arson Investigators published a twenty-page book that could act as a guide in what to look for in order to prove that arson had been committed. State Farm revised it, reprinted it, and distributed it to police officers, prosecutors, and firefighters nationwide. The revisions, which were studded with inaccuracies and myths about arson, were made not out of any concern for the public good, but rather to institutionalize misconceptions about arson, which would make it easier for them to deny claims. This also has the unfortunate side-effect of making people with legitimate claims look like criminals.

She also participated in the Intellectual Property Moot Court team, which competed in the Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition in Chicago, Illinois. The competition is known to introduce law students to important issues arising in U.S. trademark and unfair competition law.

• Medical Malpractice
  Fueled by the intense and relentless lobbying efforts of insurance companies, legislative agendas designed to limit the liability doctors, nurses, surgeons and other medical professionals face in cases of medical malpractice have been gaining substantial ground during the past ten years.

Backed by a sympathetic Republican administration and Congress, they are succeeding in their efforts. Luckily, a Toledo medical malpractice lawyer is available to fight for those injured and hold the negligent parties responsible. To get started with your claim, consult with a trusted injury attorney today.

  There are around 52 million dogs in the United States, and a surprising number of them pose serious risks to both adults and children. Over the past decade, several studies indicate a 30 percent increase in reported dog bites, despite only a slight rise in the dog population. Estimates suggest that around 13,000 dog bites happen daily, resulting in over $100 million in annual medical expenses.
