How does this benefit our criminal defense clients? 

We are excited to fight cases, but not at our client's unnecessary expense. There are cases that need to be fought, but some criminal cases are able to be resolved short of trial. This is true when the circumstances of our a client requires an amicable resolution that has less risk and uncertainty regarding their future. 

Let's face it, not all criminal matters require a trial. There are situations, often times with first time offenders, that can be worked out through the plea bargaining process. During the plea bargaining process, it is possible (in specific rare circumstances) that charges may be dismissed or the more likely scenario; the charge(s) may be reduced to charges that carry substantially less jail time or other less life changing results. Some defense attorneys in Cincinnati, Butler County, and surrounding counties advise all of their defense clients to fight their case from the very beginning. Those same defense attorneys charge the client a substantial fee in order to take the matter to trial, even before an amicable resolution is sought. At this Office, we take a more sound approach and one that has proven, through years of experience, to benefit our defense client's tremendously. This approach to criminal cases involves a very thorough analysis of our client's objectives, his/her needs in regards to employment considerations and family matters, and most importantly; the underlying facts of the criminal allegations and case against our client. Considering all of those factors, and others, we formulate our game plan for each specific criminal and traffic case. This analysis and practice ensures that our client is charged reasonably and is in the best possible position to secure a favorable outcome in his/her criminal matter.

We offer experienced criminal defense Attorneys for all level Traffic, Misdemeanor, and Felony charges.

The only constant?
