Comprehensive Felony Defense

A felony is any crime that has a more serious character than a misdemeanor and is punishable by a prison term of not less than one year in prison. At our Ohio offices, we defend individuals against all felony crimes, including:

• Felony DUI
• Sex crimes, including Internet sex crimes
• Drug offenses
• Murder or manslaughter

Whatever crime you are charged with, it is wise to contact one of our experienced felony criminal defense attorneys.

Alternative Sentencing Options

Our attorneys understand and utilize the availability of alternative sentencing whenever possible. These programs keep a defendant out of jail and reduce the penalties he or she is facing. Programs available in Ohio include:

• Diversion: This yearlong program, available for first-time offenders, results in a dismissal upon the payment of restitution, fulfillment of community service hours and other court conditions.
• Intervention in Lieu of Conviction: This court program offers chemical dependency treatment and supervision as an alternative to criminal sentencing. A form of intense supervision imposed according to the judge's discretion is another way to keep your record clear.
