Norwood DUI Amended to Physical Control Violation

Category: DUI

Veteran Ohio DUI lawyer Brad Groene recently aided a man in Norwood Mayor’s Court after a traffic accident and subsequent field sobriety test resulted in a DUI charge. Despite his previously clear criminal record, he now faced some harsh consequences including possible jail time, substantial fines, and the suspension of his driver’s license. This led him to Luftman, Heck & Associates, where attorney Brad Groene discussed his options and advised his client on how to proceed.

In an initial meeting, it was evident that the prosecution was unwilling to negotiate for a reduced charge. Undeterred, attorney Groene was determined to hold the state to their standard to proof and filed a motion to suppress, challenging the results of the field sobriety test and the probable cause for his client’s arrest. By demonstrating his commitment and pointing out the weaknesses in the case, attorney Groene facilitated an agreement to amend the DUI to a minor physical control traffic violation. This arrangement prevented a DUI offense from appearing on his client’s record and preserved his ability to drive so he could easily move on with his life.

Category: Violent Crimes

Cincinnati criminal defense attorney Bradley J. Groene recently assisted a man when some very serious charges put his freedom in danger. After an unfortunate accident where two individuals were injured, he was charged with two counts of vehicular assault as well as two counts of aggravated vehicular assault.

18-Year-Old Student Sees Dismissal and Avoids a Drug Conviction

Category: Criminal Defense

An 18-year-old man from Hamilton County was recently driving with some friends in his car when unfortunately a few of the passengers began smoking marijuana. The car was pulled over and this young, high school student found himself charged with permitting drug abuse, which is a serious misdemeanor that carries a possible jail sentence and hefty fines, in addition to a looming drug-related conviction on his permanent criminal record. With no previous criminal history, the driver did not want to have a needless conviction attached to all future job or college applications, so he reached out to Ohio criminal defense attorney Bradley J. Groene to help handle this permitting drug abuse charge.

With considerable experience handling similar drug cases, attorney Groene began negotiating with the prosecutor to find an alternative course of action because the facts of the situation did not appear to support the original charge. Initially, the prosecution was not open to finding another avenue, so attorney Groene set the case for trial. However, prior to the court date, it became clear that attorney Groene’s assertion was correct and the prosecution decided to dismiss the permitting drug abuse charge in its entirety. The client was pleased to learn that his future will not be impacted by a drug conviction and he can easily move past this unfortunate incident.

Marijuana Possession Charges Reduced for Young Man in Xenia

Category: Drugs

Not long ago, the Ohio criminal defense lawyers at Luftman, Heck & Associates assisted a young man from Xenia, Ohio when a few separate instances led to serious charges. Apparently, this recent college graduate was caught three times within a very short period smoking marijuana and was charged with three counts of marijuana possession. While he would unlikely be sent to jail if he was convicted, drug offenses on his permanent criminal record could have a very negative impact on his future career plans in addition to a possible suspension of his driving privileges. Obviously worried about the impact on his burgeoning professional life and his ability to drive, he decided to consult with a capable drug crimes attorney.

Attorney Bradley J. Groene took the man’s case and began working to alleviate his concerns. This led attorney Groene to discuss the case with the assigned prosecutor, who eventually agreed to replace the marijuana possession charges with three counts of disorderly conduct. This removed his client’s anxiety because after paying a monetary fine, and due to attorney Groene’s effective legal representation, his client was spared from needing to contend with the lasting and limiting effects of multiple drug convictions.
