Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor Reduced in Clermont County

Category: Child Endangerment

Recently, a 45-year-old mother from Clermont County found herself in a very precarious situation when she was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor after it was discovered that her teenage daughter had been throwing house parties. While the woman claimed that she was not fully aware of the extent of these parties, the charge levied against her could nevertheless result in some jail time, fines, and the likely loss of her job because her employer would not permit such a serious offense on her record. To understand the full impact of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and the penalties she was facing, the woman reached out to Luftman, Heck & Associates.

Cincinnati criminal defense attorney Bradley J. Groene consulted with his client and thoroughly explained the process and utilized his considerable understanding of Ohio criminal procedure to facilitate a considerable reduction in his client’s consequences. In the end, attorney Groene set the case for trial in Juvenile Court, but prior to the proceedings, he negotiated with the prosecutor to have the charge modified to the lesser offense of disorderly conduct. This effectively removed her fears since this amended charge would not require time in jail and perhaps, more importantly, she’d be able to keep her job.

Category: Criminal Defense

Few situations are as emotionally jarring or complicated as those involving claims of domestic violence. If you find yourself accused of such a crime, it is critical that you consult with a skilled criminal defense attorney, who can help navigate the complex criminal process and work to set things right. For example, in Hamilton County, a man’s dispute with his girlfriend became heated and when police officers arrived at the scene, the man was charged with domestic violence, which is considered a fourth-degree felony, carrying a possible 18-month prison term. The man was adamant that he did nothing wrong and based on the dire nature of his circumstances, he knew that he needed strong legal representation to handle his case and contacted the Ohio criminal defense lawyers at Luftman, Heck & Associates.

With considerable experience handling domestic violence cases in Ohio, attorney Bradley J. Groene consulted with his client and thoroughly explained the process. Since his client wanted to fully exonerate himself of what he felt were baseless accusations, attorney Groene prepared to vehemently defend his client at trial. On the day that the trial was set to begin, and due to the passionate representation that he received, the court ultimately dismissed the case against this client and he was excused from further legal worry.

Kettering Woman’s Prescription Drug Possession Charge Reduced

Category: Criminal Defense

If you find yourself accused of a crime in Ohio, it is important to find a knowledgeable attorney to protect your rights and advocate for the best possible result. This experience recently aided a middle-aged woman in Kettering, OH after she was unable to produce a valid prescription for some pills the police found and she was subsequently charged with prescription drug possession. While this is a serious misdemeanor level drug charge for anyone to deal with, her situation was heightened because it also put her employment in jeopardy. Specifically, the woman worked on a local air force base with a security clearance and any drug-related conviction would result in its revocation, and in turn her termination. The woman knew that she would need a very skilled criminal defense attorney to help her protect her criminal record and her livelihood, so she turned to the Ohio defense team at Luftman, Heck & Associates.

Attorney Bradley J. Groene used his considerable experience handling Ohio drug charges to effectively negotiate for his client. During discussions with the assigned prosecutor, attorney Groene explained his client’s circumstances and successfully argued that the charge should be amended to the lesser offense of disorderly conduct. Since this minor misdemeanor charge would not result in a drug-related conviction on her record, after paying a minimal fine, she would be able to move on without any effect on her career.

Montgomery Man Sees Driving Under Suspension Charge Reduced

Category: Traffic

In Ohio, and its surrounding areas, most people probably consider driving to be a necessity; therefore, attempting to live with the consequences of serious traffic violations can create a lot of hardships. Such was the case for a man in Montgomery, whose prior driving history caused him to accumulate 12-points on his license and the loss of his driving privileges. Because his profession as the owner-operator of a tree trimming service required him to drive between job sites, the man continued driving in order to make ends meet. Eventually, police officers pulled him over again and charged him with driving under a suspended driver license. This put the man in a very precarious legal position because if convicted, the penalties for driving with a suspended driver license include a mandatory three-day jail sentence. The man knew that his business would not survive if he was incarcerated for any length of time and searched for experienced Ohio traffic attorneys and came to Luftman, Heck & Associates.

The capable Montgomery traffic lawyer Bradley J. Groene reviewed the man’s case and zealously represented his client, advising him on how to proceed. Under his attorney’s direction, the man was able to restore his work-related driving privileges and used his client’s updated status during negotiations with the prosecutor. This proved to be very effective and the prosecution agreed to reduce the man’s driving with a suspended driver license charge to a lesser offense that would not include any time behind bars. In the end, and due to attorney Groene’s adept representation, the man was pleased to simply pay a fine for his infraction, allowing him to earn a living without hindrance.

Disorderly Conduct Charge Allows Student To Avoid A Drug Conviction

Category: Criminal Defense

In Fairborn County, a young student, who was anxious to enter the workforce and begin his life, recently wound up in some legal trouble and needed the capable counsel of the Ohio criminal defense attorneys at Luftman, Heck & Associates. Apparently, police officers confronted the young man and he surrendered a small amount of marijuana and a pipe. The officers subsequently charged him with misdemeanor possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. With no prior criminal history, the student was very troubled by these serious offenses because a drug conviction would seriously hinder his academic status and future career options. Therefore, he sought equally serious representation from attorney Bradley J. Groene.

Attorney Groene did not want to see the young man’s future jeopardized by this youthful transgression and used his extensive experience with drug cases to negotiate with the prosecution. Ultimately, attorney Groene convinced the prosecutor to amend the original marijuana and paraphernalia charges to a lesser disorderly conduct charge, requiring a small fine and payment of court costs. His client was relieved to move on after this incident, knowing that his lapse in judgment would not result in a haunting drug conviction.

Misdemeanor Assault Dismissed Prior to Trial in Clermont County

Category: Assault and Battery

The Cincinnati criminal defense attorneys of Luftman, Heck & Associates understand that being accused of an assault or a domestic violence crime is a very distressing time. It was no different for a young man in Clermont County, who previously served in the military when his girlfriend accused him of physically attacking her. Based on this claim, the man was charged with misdemeanor assault, carrying a possible 180 days in jail and $1,000 fine. The man stated that his girlfriend’s accusations were untrue and he understandably did not want a baseless criminal conviction tarnishing his record or sending him to jail for any length of time. Therefore, he reached out to criminal defense attorney Bradley J. Groene in his time of need.

Relying on his familiarity in similar cases, attorney Groene meticulously reviewed the available evidence. It became apparent that the victim’s claims were inconsistent and did not support the charges. Despite presenting the unreliable aspects of the case to the prosecution during pre-trial negotiations, they were initially uninterested in discussing plea agreements. As a result, attorney Groene prepared to fervently represent his client at trial. However, prior to the start of the trial, the assigned prosecutor reviewed the facts and attorney Groene effectively achieved a dismissal. The man was relieved to be vindicated from these unfounded allegations and spared from spending time in jail, which may not have been possible if not for the legal intervention of attorney Groene.
