Comprehensive Criminal Defense Representation
Our criminal defense attorneys are here to provide you with strong legal advocacy in all criminal cases, including:
- Felony offenses: Criminal convictions are public records. If you are convicted of a felony, any prospective employer, landlord or university that conducts a background check can find out that you were convicted of a serious crime.
- Traffic violations: Any conviction for a moving violation in Ohio will result in two points on your driver's license. If you accumulate 12 points in two years, your license will be suspended for six months.
- DUI/OVI defense: We can help you with either first offense DUI/OVI/DWI and subsequent offense DUI/OVI/DWI.
- Drug possession and drug trafficking: If you are convicted of or plead guilty to a misdemeanor or felony drug charge, any prospective employer will know, which may limit your future job opportunities.
- Assault : From simple assault to domestic violence, we provide strong defense against all assault charges.
- Burglary : Burglary is an extremely serious offense. Even unintentional trespassing can be charged as a felony and present serious consequences.

We provide special legal services for students at Miami University and other schools in the area. Our services include:
- Miami University discipline and code violations: If you are charged with a crime on campus or in the city of Oxford, you may face disciplinary action or even expulsion from the university.
- Underage intoxication: Underage possession, underage consumption and underage intoxication are first-degree misdemeanors in Ohio.
- Fake I.D. charges: Use of a fake I.D. in a bar is charged as "certain acts prohibited" or "misrepresentation" in Ohio. Either of those charges is a first-degree misdemeanor, subject to a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
