Benefits of Hiring a Ohio Criminal Defense Attorney

When you have been charged with a crime, hiring a criminal defense attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make. A defense attorney with experience handling similar cases to yours can help protect your rights and your future. Below are just some of the benefits of hiring a Cleveland criminal defense attorney:

Client Testimonials
“He gave me hope and then delivered.”
I was treated like a priority from the first day I spoke with Attorney Patituce. He made it clear that he and all of his associates would work on my case and they did. I took a great deal of comfort knowing that it was not just one single attorney but a group of them protecting me. A downside of being charged with a crime is that you have to sit in courtrooms. The upside of sitting in courtrooms is you get to see how your attorney acts after the sales pitch has ended. It was clear that my attorneys commanded the room when they walked in, they were constantly taken first, and my results were great.
R.D.
“It would be a mistake to hire any other Attorney.”
I was charged with a DUI after I was pulled over in my driveway by a Trooper I went to high school with. I had a friend that worked for Joe, and she recommended him, saying I would be dumb not to go with him. I was able to speak with either Joe or a member of his team whenever possible. I never felt like an after thought, or felt worried that the case wouldn’t go favorably for me. Joe and his team were able to prove before the trial that the Trooper was showing great biased towards me and going out of his way to make me look guilty. After the great amount of evidence we had against the trooper and the clear cut fact that I wasn’t intoxicated. They were able to get the prosecutor and the judge to dismiss all charges.
Tyler
“Professional, courteous, knowledgeable and tough.”
Joe’s team did a great job of defending my son against a serious assault charge. They were with us every step of the way through a very intimidating legal process, ensuring that we were kept prepared and informed. Our calls were always answered promptly regardless of day or time. The team vigorously defended my son and succeeded in getting the charge reduced which allowed him to be placed on probation. I hope to never need to hire a defense attorney again, but if I do Patituce and Associates is the only firm I will call.
Patricia
"Excellent lawyer who saved us."
I was accused of a felonious assault. Mr. Patituce stood up to the prosecutors who told us that someone had to take a felony. When the prosecutors tried to bully Mr. Patituce around he pushed back and caught them in their lies. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty on ALL charges and found that Mr. Patituce proved self defense. This case drew national media attention and was very stressful, we could have not done it without our attorney.
C.A.
"Exceptional lawyer, highly recommend."
I was charged with driving under the influence. I found Joseph Patituce online and discovered that he had affordable pricing. When I went to court, I was blown away by his skill and effectiveness. He took my trial all the way to the state supreme court. He is driven, tenacious, and an exceptional lawyer. I highly recommend his services.

“I owe my future to Patituce and Associates”
I recently was charged with a DUI that could have ruined my career, my relationship with my family, and my personal relationship. I am so thankful that I called Patituce & Associates, and my attorney was Trisha Breedlove. She was very professional, straight forward, and treated me as a person as not just a name and a file like other law firms do. She was able to not only get my DUI dismissed, but I walked out of court with a check from them returning my bail money. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to her. Anyone would be lucky to have Trisha and Patituce & Associates in their corner.
