Our client spent nearly two years in jail awaiting his trial. Even with the risks of a jury trial, the Defendant knew he had to take the chance and no plea deal would be enough to save his future. He never intended anyone harm and he simply was trying to protect his wife. He was not going to lose his family over that. The trial lasted nearly two weeks before the jury went into deliberations.

The Defendant’s family who was familiar with the outstanding and diligent work of our attorneys contacted us immediately after his arrest.

The State’s offer was for Defendant to plead guilty to Rape and Abduction in exchange for 5-6 years in prison. We pressured on, believing in our client’s innocence. We started reviewing the hundreds of pages of discovery, as well as multiple audio and video recordings. Through this review, the attorneys realized there was important exculpatory evidence missing from the discovery packet that could make a difference in our client’s innocence. After a year of allegations and judiciary processes, our client was freed in the summer of 2019. A week-long trial turned victorious with a verdict of not guilty on all counts.

An 8th grade math teacher, faced false allegations filed by an ex-girlfriend which accused him of domestic violence. However, none of this was true and the charges were pursued by the ex-girlfriend because she was upset that their relationship had come to a sudden halt.

The trial began after 7 months of court hearings. Discovery was shown and arguments were made against our client by the prosecution. Our attorney put the Defendant on the stand and questioned his whereabouts on the day of question. The Defendant testified to the fact that he was on vacation with his children, so that the domestic violence accusations would be impossible. The attorneys ended by giving information about the Defendants character, career, and his clean criminal record. As a result, the Jury found the Defendant Not Guilty.

A 28-year-old client was charged with one of the most serious felony offenses in Ohio – trafficking drugs. In addition, this this was not his first felony offense as he had previously been convicted of several felony counts in the years prior. With a record like his, the penalties our client would be facing were painstakingly high.

Despite extensive efforts, our many requests to get our client out of jail were denied. We began our preparation to negotiate with the State. However, this case escalated a whole lot quicker when our client was brutally beaten in jail one evening. Thankfully our attorneys worked diligently so this case picked up very quickly. Our clients successfully achieved a community control sanction despite the State’s initial reluctance to work with our client and give us the offer we had requested. This was a much lighter sentencing than he would have received if he was convicted of a felony.
