An experienced criminal attorney should have a lot of trial experience. Litigating a case instead of always negotiating a plea deal is very important. An innocent individual doesn’t want a plea deal negotiated. They want a strong Criminal Defense in Cincinnati OH to fight for their freedom in court. A criminal defense attorney can represent clients in the areas of:
* Misdemeanors and Traffic Offenses
Drug Crimes
Federal Crime
Expungements
Domestic Violence and Protection Orders
Sex Offenses
Search and Seizure Issues
Violent Crimes
And many others.
Juvenile crimes are just as important as an adult crime. In some cases, a conviction can carry penalties that extend beyond the juvenile years. A juvenile record could affect a child’s educational and employment opportunities. Juvenile vandalism, sex offenses, theft, violence, drug crimes and a minor possessing alcohol all result in serious penalties. Juveniles can be tried as an adult and if convicted, they will be sentenced to an adult prison. A Criminal Defense in Cincinnati OH will fight for the best possible outcome. The lawyer’s goal is moving the case into a positive direction, including a rehabilitation program that is designed to prevent recidivism or repeat offenses.
A charged individual should take domestic violence charges very seriously. An individual doesn’t have to be charged with a crime for a protection order to be issued against them. A civil protection order can be issued by a Domestic Relations court. Temporary protection orders can be issued for a civil or criminal case. This type of order usually lasts for ten days or until a full hearing can be held with both parties.
Violating a civil protection order can still lead to jail time, even if the accusation is unproven. In Ohio, the preferred arrest law includes arresting the accused individual from the location the supposed abuse occurred. Criminal Protection Orders can be simultaneous to a Civil Protection Order. In either case, an individual should hire aggressive representation to fight these charges because it can affect their ability to obtain or maintain employment, prohibit them from seeing their children, exclude them from their residence, prohibit them from owning guns and so much more.
