Criminal Offenses in Golf Manor

Like the rest of Hamilton County, Golf Manor cases fall under Ohio’s criminal code. Charges range from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies, each with unique penalties and collateral consequences. Common cases we handle include:

• DUI / OVI Offenses – Operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Penalties can include jail, thousands in fines, driver’s license suspensions, and mandatory intervention programs. High BAC or repeat offenses carry harsher sanctions.
• Alcohol Offenses – Underage consumption, selling alcohol to minors, open container violations, or disorderly conduct while intoxicated. What may seem minor can still create a lasting criminal record.
• Drug Offenses – Possession, trafficking, or manufacturing of controlled substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or prescription drugs. Severity depends on type and quantity, with penalties ranging from probation to years in prison.
• Traffic Violations – From speeding tickets to driving under suspension, these charges affect both your driving record and your finances. Too many points can trigger an automatic license suspension under Ohio’s 12-point system. Learn more about reinstating your license.
