For many people, seeing a uniformed officer or flashing lights in a rearview mirror is unexpected and scary. Jail, fines, and the impact on employment options or even community standing are just a few of the consequences that can come with a criminal misdemeanor or felony conviction in Ohio. However, a conviction is never automatic. You are entitled to due process and a fair trial.

When confronted with a prosecution that is determined to establish your guilt, an experienced defense attorney can help you combat the charges against you. It is important to carefully examine your options for defense to ensure that your attorney can effectively build a defense for your specific case.

Our Dayton criminal law firm focuses solely on misdemeanor and felony cases, as well as administrative aspects related to these situations. This concentration of experience and perspective can be an asset, since we do not practice other areas of law. We are highly familiar with the rules and procedures unique to Ohio criminal courtrooms.

We represent clients facing serious felony charges and low-level misdemeanor offenses. This includes situations of violent crimes such as assault, theft, violation of probation, and white-collar crime. If you have completed the terms of your probation, we can help you seal your record in Ohio or obtain an expungement. This can help you confidently answer questions regarding your criminal record when applying for employment or special programs.

Our defense attorneys understand that even a misdemeanor drug charge in Dayton can have unimaginable consequences in the age of frequent background checks. Every client receives the full benefit of our experience and attention. Every case is a big deal for our firm.
In our modern age, it's almost mandatory to own or have access to a vehicle. We use cars and trucks to commute to work, school, run errands, and even go to bars or clubs. Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not an uncommon crime. It is also one that is committed so casually and without thinking that the driver doesn't expect to be pulled over.

Local law enforcement officers and deputy sheriffs throughout Montgomery County are always on the lookout for potential drunk drivers. However, it is possible for these upholders of the law to make mistakes in pulling a driver over or in administrating a chemical test. In some cases, drivers with no alcohol or drugs in their system can erroneously give a positive result in a field sobriety test, breathalyzer test, or blood test.

Our legal team is highly knowledgeable about the science behind DUI testing in Ohio. In fact, one of our attorneys is a former Ohio prosecutor who has not only tried these cases, but has been asked to speak at law enforcement seminars about DUI litigation issues. Having a respected authority about DUI defense and prosecution at your side may prove extremely useful.

We work hard to secure case dismissal, acquittals, reductions, and other favorable outcomes in cases of drunk driving. Our defense attorneys also provide representation and guidance to help you get your driver's license back during the administrative aspect of your case. If you have been charged with an OVI, contact a Dayton DUI lawyer with our firm and learn more about your defense options.

    Why Are Motorcycle Accidents More Complicated Than Car Accidents in Austin?
    motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries than car accidents due to the lack of rider protection, leading to complex medical treatments and extended recoveries. Legally, they are more intricate due to specific laws, insurance tactics, and factors like helmet use and lane splitting. Public bias against motorcyclists adds further challenges, potentially affecting police reports and jury decisions. Evidence collection is also more difficult, often requiring expert testimony and accident reconstruction. Overcoming these hurdles demands specialized knowledge to secure fair compensation.
