What We Can Do for You
Whether you are dealing with a traffic ticket or defending against serious charges, our goal is the same to protect your rights, reduce the impact on your life, and help you move forward with confidence. We act quickly, build your defense, and stand with you at every stage of the case.
Investigate the Charges and Review the Evidence
We examine police reports, citations, and supporting records to identify defenses. We look for legal errors, improper procedures, or weak evidence that may lead to dismissal or case reduction.
File Motions to Dismiss or Suppress Evidence
If your rights were violated or evidence was mishandled, we prepare and file motions to suppress key evidence or dismiss the charges entirely. These filings can change the course of your case.
Pursue Diversion or Reduced Sentencing
We negotiate with prosecutors to seek diversion programs or reduced charges. These options often avoid jail time and help first time or nonviolent offenders protect their future.
Represent You at Every Court Stage
We handle all court appearances, filings, and scheduling. We communicate with the court and prosecution so you have consistent legal support and your case moves forward without missed deadlines.
Advise on Record Sealing and License Issues
After your case ends, we help with expungement, license reinstatement, and long term planning. We file petitions, attend hearings, and work to restore your legal rights and reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer for a misdemeanor or traffic ticket?
Yes. Even minor charges can impact your license, job, or record. We work to reduce or eliminate those risks and protect your future at every stage of the process.
Can traffic or criminal charges be dismissed or reduced?
Often, yes. We negotiate with prosecutors and raise legal defenses to pursue dismissals, reductions, or alternative outcomes tailored to your case.
What if I missed my court date?
You may face a warrant or additional charges. We act quickly to resolve the issue, restore your standing with the court, and protect you from further penalties.
Can I seal my record after a criminal conviction?
In many cases, yes. We assess your eligibility and guide you through Ohio’s record sealing process so you can move forward without your past holding you back.
Will I go to jail for a first time offense?
Not always. For many offenses, we can help you avoid jail through diversion, probation, or treatment-based solutions that focus on rehabilitation, not punishment.
