We’ll also discuss your charges, possible outcomes, and defenses that may be raised. With our assistance and counsel, you will be well-equipped to make informed decisions about how we proceed with your legal matter.

Our Dayton Criminal Lawyer Is Here to Find a Path Forward in Your Case

A lot is on the line in a criminal matter. Your rights may be in jeopardy, as some crimes carry sanctions like the loss of gun rights or driving privileges. Your freedom may be in peril, as misdemeanors and felonies in Ohio and at the federal level can be penalized by incarceration. Your future may also be at risk, as a conviction on your criminal record can make it difficult to find a job, get a place to live, or qualify for certain government benefits.
