Criminal Defense Attorney Serving Cleveland and All of Northeastern Ohio

Northeastern Ohio Sex Crimes Lawyer

If you have been arrested or are under investigation for a crime, you have reason to be concerned about the outcome of your case. Should you cooperate and answer questions? Should you remain silent? Now is the time to take control of your case.

It is extremely important to talk to a criminal defense lawyer before making any statement to police or prosecutors. Anything you say can be used against you, so exercise your constitutional right to remain silent unless you have counsel present. Contact my Cleveland office to discuss your specific situation and determine how to proceed.

I have been practicing criminal law in Northeastern Ohio state and federal courts for over 30 years. There is no substitute for experience. I know when to recommend to a client to cooperate or seek a plea bargain and when to take a case to trial. I have represented ordinary people who had no idea that their actions were criminal; I have also represented organized crime figures and gang members. Every person accused of a crime deserves fair treatment and a vigorous defense.

As your attorney, I will explain exactly what consequences you face and suggest strategies for your defense. I may be able to get the charges against you thrown out altogether, may be able to negotiate a favorable plea bargain or may suggest you go to trial to have your story heard by a judge or jury. You will decide how to proceed. If you are in jail, I will work to get you out and keep you out.

I am prepared to represent clients in all manner of criminal cases including:

• DUI, DWI, drunk driving
• Traffic violations including driving under suspension and CDL violations
• White collar crime, fraud, embezzlement, theft
• Sex crimes, statutory rape, child pornography, assault
• Federal charges, conspiracy, racketeering, RICO, extortion, money laundering
• Drug offenses, possession, trafficking
• Juvenile law
• Domestic violence/assault
• Theft
• Assault and murder
• Child molestation
• Sex offense registration violations
