How We Can Defend You

Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor or the allegations against you are unfounded, it is not ideal to handle your case alone or with the help of an inexperienced or overworked lawyer. The criminal process is complex, and every detail matters. Making a misstep, like trying to explain your side of the story to officers or not knowing when officials have acted outside of their authority, can hurt your case.

Our criminal defense attorneys in Dayton can help navigate your case. We will explain the Ohio court procedures and your legal options. 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.

Additionally, our Dayton criminal defense lawyers assist with post-conviction relief matters. If you have been found guilty of an offense, we can file an appeal to challenge the outcome of your case. Or, we can request to have your criminal record sealed through expungement.

Cases We Handle

Over 50 Years of Combined Experience in Criminal Defense & DUI

We’re Here to Find a Path Forward in Your Criminal 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.

Hearing about the potential ramifications of a conviction can be scary. However, although you were charged with a crime, your fate is not certain. Various avenues can be explored to help avoid or minimize penalties.

Our criminal defense attorneys in Dayton employ a multifaceted approach to defend our clients. We examine cases from every angle. And with Attorney Mulligan having formerly served as a prosecutor, we know how the other side thinks and operates. We leverage this knowledge to build robust defenses.
