Felony Theft Charge Dismissed After Evidence Proved Client’s Innocence

Our client was charged in Warren County, Ohio, with felony theft, a third-degree offense carrying up to three years in prison. From the beginning, he maintained that he had not stolen any money; instead, he had been given permission to use the funds for investment purposes.

Over the course of multiple court appearances, our team engaged in ongoing discussions with the prosecutor while compiling extensive documentation to support our client’s position. We shared significant evidence and paperwork that demonstrated his actions were lawful and above board.

Ultimately, the prosecutor recognized that our client had told the truth all along and dismissed the felony theft charge in its entirety. This result cleared our client’s name and gave him the peace of mind to move forward without the shadow of a felony conviction.

Client Cleared of Gross Sexual Imposition Charges After Trial

Our client, with no prior record, was charged with two counts of Gross Sexual Imposition, both felonies of the fourth degree. If convicted, he faced up to three years in prison and the lifelong consequences of sex offender registration.

The allegations claimed he forced himself on a woman inside a convenience store. From the start, our client adamantly denied these accusations. The prosecution turned over discovery, but our team dug deeper and secured surveillance footage of the alleged encounter. While the video did not show the allegations directly, it significantly contradicted the accuser’s version of events and exposed her as untruthful in her statements to police.

At trial, we throughly cross-examined both the accuser and the investigating officer. The inconsistencies became clear to the jury, and after careful consideration, they returned a verdict of not guilty on all charges.

This outcome meant our client walked free, avoided prison, and no longer had to fear being falsely branded as a sex offender. He was able to return home to his family and move forward with his life.

Theft Charges Against Contractor Successfully Delayed

A Warren County contractor was on the verge of sentencing after being accused of scamming over $71,000 from homeowners. Our client, who had built his career through his business, Equality Contractors 1, was suddenly facing the loss of everything he had worked for.

Six grand theft charges were brought against the contractor after homeowners reported paying for jobs that were never completed. Despite the seriousness of the charges, we knew that rushing to judgment wasn’t in our client’s best interest.

When our client pleaded guilty to two counts of theft earlier this year, the stakes were high. As the sentencing date approached, we became aware of media presence at the courthouse, threatening to jeopardize our client’s safety and future further.

We acted swiftly, securing a continuance to give us the time needed to address the media concerns. The court agreed, recognizing the potential risks our client faced if his identity and involvement in government work were made public.

Thanks to this strategic delay, we’re working to ensure that our client’s safety is protected and that his case is handled with the care it deserves. While the case is still pending, our quick action has already made a significant difference in protecting our client’s future. Read more about this case on WLWT.

Client Facing Abuse Allegations Found Not Guilty by Jury

Abuse allegations against one of our clients jeopardized his future as a home health care aide, a job he had worked in for over a decade.

The client was in his mid-40s with no criminal record when one of his patients told police they were being mistreated by our client. Without a thorough investigation, police sided with the patient, and the aide faced charges of child endangerment and patient abuse.

The case went to trial for months, but our work remained aggressive and unwavering. Gathering discovery on the case was particularly crucial; we were able to argue that the alleged victim was lying, and ultimately, the jury found our client not guilty.

This result not only meant our client was allowed to finally resume work, but also meant he wouldn’t serve six months in jail, pay significant fines, or lose his home healthcare license. We got the charges sealed from our client’s record, and the aide was able to carry on with his reputation and future intact.

Case Thrown Out for Client Charged With Third OVI

A client with two prior OVI charges faced up to a year of jail time and license suspension after being charged with a third OVI offense.

Officers pulled him over for allegedly speeding when they claimed to “smell a small odor” of alcohol in the car. Although our client refused a breathalyzer, he successfully performed a sobriety field test. Nevertheless, he was charged with a third-in-time OVI, and faced significant consequences due to this being a repeat offense.

Upon collecting discovery, we believed there to be no probable cause for his arrest and argued for a motion to suppress. The judge agreed, and through our legal team’s arguments over the lack of evidence against our client, we were able to get the case thrown out completely.

Felony Theft Charge Reduced to Misdemeanor

After a Butler County client allegedly stole a significant amount of money from department stores, she faced a felony theft charge with severe penalties.

When charged with a felony in Ohio, it’s important to choose an attorney with both perseverance and mitigation experience. Our client’s trial took an extensive amount of time, but we remained dedicated. We kept her needs in mind with every decision and leveraged our knowledge of the court system to get her a desirable outcome. We presented evidence of her physical and mental health issues in court, working tirelessly to negotiate with the prosecution on reducing her sentence.

After thorough discussions with prosecutors, we got our client’s high-level felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. This meant the felony was kept off her record and she was ordered to serve only probation.
