Cleveland Violent Crime Defense Lawyer

Northeastern Ohio Assault Charges Attorney

Anyone charged with a violent crime should retain a lawyer as soon as possible. An experienced Ohio violent crime attorney can protect the accused in police interrogation and immediately begin work defending you and protecting your rights. I, Laurence Turbow, have spent more than 30 years working as a criminal defense lawyer. I know the Ohio criminal justice system from every perspective and use those insights to help my clients when facing such serious charges.

I help people charged with any violent crime, including:

• Domestic violence/assault
• Firearm cases
• Rape and other sex offenses
• Assault and kidnapping
• Homicide, murder, manslaughter

In Ohio, having a weapon during a violent crime, even if the weapon is merely displayed and not used, enhances any penalty. If convicted of another crime, weapon possession can greatly increase the sentence, making the penalty mandatory prison. I am a skilled negotiator and will attempt to reduce the charge and potential penalties.

I handle sex offenses including child molestation, statutory rape and sex offender registration violations.

I offer you the knowledge and information to make the best choices about your case, based on my decades of experience. I am there for my clients at every stage from the moment I am retained. I am on your side, available for questions and in trial with you if necessary.

If you would like to discuss representation about sex offender registration, please call (216) 881-7939 or e-mail my firm to arrange a consultation. I represent clients in state and federal courts throughout Northeast Ohio.
