Hamilton County Criminal Defense Lawyer – Ohio

Hamilton County has some of the largest, well-known sites and businesses in Ohio. It is the home of major corporations like Proctor and Gamble and major newspapers, including the Business Courier. A number of high-profile, respected individuals are known to visit Hamilton County. For example, First Lady Michelle Obama recently visited The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, honoring it as being one of the best libraries in the United States.

Unfortunately, Hamilton County is also rife with crime. From traffic accidents to sexual assaults, to illegal drug seizures, criminal offenses happen every day. Heavy construction that has been ongoing along Interstate 75 and Interstate 71 has resulted in a number of traffic accidents and traffic violations. Hamilton County is also home to major colleges like the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University and the Cincinnati State Technical and Community College — student crimes are common occurrences.

Every day, Hamilton County residents and students are pulled over by police and questioned for their involvement in alleged crimes. If they are suspected of a crime, they may be issued a search warrant. Without the help of a lawyer, people are frequently charged with crimes due to misunderstandings in the criminal process. A person facing alleged criminal charges may not know how to protect themselves against these accusations.
