They Truly Delivered Results
Attorney Beau Cross and his team were outstanding in handling my case. They skillfully navigated my legal situation and achieved a dismissal.

A Light in a Dark Time
Working with Logan was like having a light in such a dark time. It felt as if he took a personal interest in my case and fought for me like he was fighting for his own. I remember him saying, “This is why I became an attorney,” and he made sure justice was shown and maintained. I was very happy to be represented by Logan. He was great at communicating and communicating in a way I could understand and walked me through every step of the process. Logan was extremely knowledgeable in his practice and is a true professional. Nothing I myself can say gives a review deserving of the work he did for me during my case, and I’ll forever be grateful. Will recommend to anyone I know.

Greg Willis
Got everything dismissed
If it wasn’t for Mr. Cross and his team, I am not sure I would have been able to handle this situation. I was told when I moved back to Ohio in 2020 that I had to pay the attorney general for past due fees and it would be taken care of. So the last payment was done at the beginning of 2022, and I was excited this was taken care of before the birth of my first child and a few weeks after being married. Then January of 2025, on my birthday, I was arrested on a 17-year-old warrant for a “PV.” This was a huge misunderstanding and miscommunication on both my and the court's part. When I was arrested, I was told I’d have to spend 328 days in jail. That scared me since I am a primary parent to my two-year-old. The news I got today was everything I prayed for. Mr. Cross and his team got everything dismissed. Thank you all so much.
April Taylor
Beau Got My Charge Dropped
I hired Beau for a criminal case in Ohio! The day I talked to Beau, before I even paid him any money, he assured me that his team and he would jump right into action. So I paid Beau about 3 days later and received an email detailing everything that he had done and was planning to do. Beau is so good he got my charge dropped to a different charge and a form of probation that even the probation office was surprised I got. Hell, I don't even gotta do anything. Don't gotta check in, no drug test, no monthly payments, no ankle monitor, nothing. I just continue my regular life like nothing happened! If you're in trouble and need a good lawyer, you need to call Beau at Cross Law LLC. He will get the job done!

Nicest Group of People

Beau Regan
The odds were stacked against us
I do not even know where to start! From start to finish, Cross Law was phenomenal. I was facing a F3 after already having a previous felony conviction. Mr. Cross managed to get me probation. The odds were stacked against us, but he stood tall at every hearing. I highly recommend this firm.
William Sancho
Outstanding Job in the Courtroom
Was my attorney just a few days ago. Did an outstanding job in the courtroom, and I'd represent anyone that needs a good attorney. You can't go wrong!
Melvin Blanchard
Guided with Compassion and Care
During a very difficult time, I found myself in some legal trouble. As a first-time offender, with multiple compounding recent events in my life, I was overwhelmed and not sure where to look for help. After speaking with multiple other law firms, I was left feeling uneasy and unsure with little compassion or direction.
Then, I found Cross Law Office. I was immediately guided in the steps I should take and also given so much compassion for ALL of the events taking place, including the problems outside of the legal affairs they were required to attend.
The sincerity of my attorney, Logan Graham, as well as his assistant, Jacqueline, made me feel confident and cared for. The assistance and empathy they provided not only made my legal experience smoother but also allowed me the time and space to take care of the unrelated major events in my life that also required my immediate attention.
Thank you, Cross Law and associates, for providing such a great experience in a time that felt hopeless.
-Sabrina Lentini, a very grateful client.
Sabrina Noelle Lentini
No Jail Time
They handled my case extremely quickly. I called them the day before court, and they were still able to help. Amazing place. My lawyer was an amazing lawyer, got my charges reduced, I had no jail time. Excellent experience. My attorney was Beau Cross.
Danny Hall
The Best Criminal Defense Lawyer
Great law office, Brett Lenarz is very professional and has the ability to deliver. The best criminal defense lawyer.
Lukas Waters
A Better Public Defender
I do believe to the best of my abilities that attorney Logan Graham and his team reviewed and investigated my case with every intention of doing what was best for my own personal interest and well-being. I could not have asked for a better public defender. This man takes his job very seriously and does so with integrity. I asked him for things, and he had no problem going to bat for me or giving me reassurance. With the help of Logan and his team, I, Micah Krosnicki, believe without a shadow of a doubt you built a good enough case with great evidence and detail that the facts and the law itself of the situation/case could not be denied. Thank you again for helping get my case dismissed. I recommend attorney Graham to any man or woman who might be worried about the next step.

Fighting Corruption in Sheriff's Dept
Very stand-up attorneys that are fighting for me against the corruption in Washington County Sheriff's Department.
Jason Szakal
Remarkable Tenacity in Defense
I am sincerely grateful for Attorney Logan Graham's attention to detail and knowledge of the law. From the onset of my communications with him regarding the charges levied against me in a recent criminal case that was ultimately dismissed, I was thoroughly impressed by his willingness to vigorously defend the accusation with the highest of professional and ethical standards. His willingness to directly contact me and remain in good communication throughout the proceedings and at all stages sets Attorney Logan Graham apart as a true credit to his profession. The value Attorney Graham places on his clients is acutely evident and cannot be counterfeited. The tenacity with which he executed my defense is remarkable and seldom available to many. I am fortunate to have been represented by what has proven to be one of the best. My gratitude cannot reasonably be expressed in so few words but I trust that he will accept my sincerest thanks for his solid approach and steadfast efforts. Respectfully, Phillip Smith
Phillip Smith
Above and Beyond Service
I was not promised a win, I also was not promised a loss. I was told by Logan Graham that he would do everything to win. He did not disappoint me. Logan was successful in getting a police officer to admit he lied to me as well as a cashier. Logan worked through lunch on my case. You did above and beyond for me, Logan. I love the fact that you are blunt to the point and honest with me. I hope I do not need your services, but if I do, I know who I want as my attorney.
Angela Leasure
Able to Move Forward and Prosper
The case I was arrested for hung over my head for almost 12 years while I raised kids and made it my business to stay out of trouble out of fear of the worst happening. Thanks to Cross Law, I am able to move forward, grow, and prosper. Thank you for helping me put this behind me. My only experience with law and I feel blessed to be represented by your law firm.

Charges Had Been Dropped
Ms. Chloe Spencer was amazing! She was real with me and kind at the same time. In the end, my charges had been dropped, but she was willing to go the extra mile for me. I would highly recommend her.
Amanda Randolph
Case Dismissed by the State
Attorney Chloe Spencer did a fantastic job representing me on my felony case. We were headed to trial, but the case was dismissed by the State a few days prior. I am confident she would have secured an acquittal on my case had it proceeded to trial. She is a great attorney and I highly recommend her.
Justin Doherty
Best Attorney in Ohio
Mr. Cross is by far the best attorney in Ohio. He managed to get 2 F2s dropped to an F5. I was facing 8-16 years in prison, and because he always listened and trusted what I said, he got me probation and no prison time. I would recommend him to anyone.

Overcharged but not underrepresented!
Beau did me justice. I was overcharged but not underrepresented! Through a very tactful process, he filed motions to suppress janky evidence... and got me off two of three charges... thank you, Cross!
Brian Spence
Proud to say 'Not Guilty'
I think Mr. Cross did an excellent job. When it came down to my trial, he owned them! LOL. It was a lengthy process for me, I had plenty of frustration built up. Mr. Cross did exactly what he set out to do. Very knowledgeable lawyer. Proud to say 'Not Guilty,' all charges. Mr. Cross, I'm very pleased with you all. Staff always very nice on phone also. Thank you, Beau! You did an awesome job. Sincerely, Richard.
Richard Shumway
Better results than expected
Brandon, (Lippert) yes I called you Brandon because you represented me like a friend would do, but you did it with the assurance of Mr. Lippert. Not only did I get better results than expected, you went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable throughout the process, as in wonderful office personnel to keep us in touch while you handled your other clients. To extra motions to help with furloughs, hearings, and bond modifications. I was able to keep loved ones in the loop at all times while you worried about the defense, and that's what made it possible for me to stay focused on what needed to be during the entire process, and that's family. Appreciate you all, the ENTIRE staff at Cross Law Office.
Edgar Poland Jr
Kept Me Out of Trouble
Chloe Spencer did everything she could to keep me out of trouble, and if it wasn't for her, I would be back in jail. Definitely would have her represent me again if I ever need a lawyer again.

What happens during a criminal trial?
During a criminal trial, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence and arguments. It involves jury selection, opening statements, witness testimonies, cross-examinations, closing arguments, and jury deliberation. The verdict is delivered based on the evidence presented. Our team will guide you through every step of the process.
What is criminal defense?
Criminal defense is the legal representation provided to individuals or entities charged with criminal conduct. It involves protecting the rights of the accused, negotiating plea deals, and providing guidance through the legal system. Our goal is to ensure the best possible outcome for the client.
What are my rights if I am arrested?
If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is important to clearly state your desire for legal counsel and to refrain from answering questions without an attorney present. These rights are designed to protect you during legal proceedings.
