Belmont Criminal Defense Attorney

• Traffic violations. For years we have helped defend clients who have been accused of traffic violations, including speeding tickets and reckless driving charges. These charges can have a negative impact on your driver’s license and insurance rates, which is why our law firm works diligently to protect our clients’ interests in all traffic violation cases. Driving is an essential aspect of everyday life, which is why we will fight to ensure your driving privileges are not taken away for a baseless accusation.
• Drug possession. Possession of drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine can result in harsh penalties handed down by the courts. Our criminal defense team works closely with our clients to review their cases and develop a defense that will produce the best possible outcome. We know what our clients are up against in these cases, which is why we regularly work to reduce or eliminate drug possession penalties.
• Driving while intoxicated. Every year thousands of people are arrested for driving while intoxicated, and for good reason. This act puts everyone in danger on the road and is a compelling reason for officers to make an arrest. Being arrested with the possibility of losing your license can be scary. However, in situations where officers are not justified in making an arrest or have mishandled your case, our firm works to get the charges reduced.
• Theft. Theft is a serious crime that involves the unlawful taking of another person’s property. The severity of a theft charge depends on the stolen item’s value and any other circumstances surrounding the crime. Our law firm works to combat these charges and get our clients’ cases reduced so they do not face jail time or other negative consequences that can affect their futures.
• Assault. Assault is a crime that involves intentional physical violence and can lead to severe legal consequences. There are a number of assault scenarios that can result in charges, including domestic and sexual assaults. Any time our clients are accused of assault, we work hard to assess the circumstances surrounding the arrest and develop an effective defense.
• Criminal Expungements. If a person is convicted of a crime, they could face jail time or fines as punishment. For some crimes, like marijuana possession, a criminal expungement may be possible, which enables you to have your record sealed from the public. Our law firm regularly works with clients to get their charges reduced to the point where they are eligible for a criminal expungement whenever possible.

Over the years, we have helped clients throughout the Belmont County area who are facing any number of the above charges. Defending our clients’ rights in the face of extreme accusations is what we do daily, which is why our law firm has developed a reputation for providing the highest level of service to our clients.
