Understanding Criminal Charges in Ohio

Ohio law categorizes criminal offenses broadly into misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanors typically carry penalties such as fines, probation, and up to 180 days in jail. Felonies, however, involve much more serious consequences, including lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and long-term consequences like the loss of voting rights, firearm restrictions, and difficulty securing employment.

Some of the most common charges our Jefferson County criminal defense attorney might defend against include:

  • DUI/OVI (Operating a Vehicle Impaired)
  • Drug possession, trafficking, or manufacturing
  • Domestic violence
  • Theft and property crimes
  • Assault and battery
  • Weapons violations
  • White-collar crimes
  • Juvenile offenses

Each charge comes with specific legal definitions, elements the prosecution must prove, and unique defense strategies that may apply.
