An Advocate on Your Side, Every Step of the Way

Our Dayton criminal defense lawyers can assist you with every stage of your case, including:

Pre-arrest – It is understandable that you would want to clear your name, so when police ask to speak to you, you might be initially willing. However, police officers are experienced at twisting suspects’ words. Our team can take steps to immediately protect your rights, including handling any police interrogations.
Investigation – We can conduct a thorough investigation into the charges against you. Our full services include visiting the crime scene, interviewing witnesses, identifying defenses to the charges against you, independently analyzing the evidence against you, and gathering additional evidence with the help of a private investigator, as appropriate.
Motions – There may be legal grounds to argue for evidence to be suppressed against you or for charges to be dropped. We can advance these legal arguments by filing appropriate motions.
Plea agreement negotiations – Our team can evaluate any offered plea agreement, discuss it with you, and explain whether accepting would be in your best interest. We can provide an honest assessment and will not tell you to take a deal just to make our job easier. Our focus is on what’s best for you.
Trial – Our criminal defense lawyers have taken over 400 jury trials to their names. We are not afraid to go to trial to fight to protect your rights.

We help clients across Dayton and all of Ohio, including Montgomery County, Greene County, Miami County, Shelby County, Darke County, Preble County, Clark County, Franklin County, and the Miami Valley.
