Aggressive Defense Attorneys

The Painesville DUI Lawyers who believe in "innocent until proven guilty" and "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." Our clients trust us for providing a strategically aggressive legal defense.

By serving as active DUI/OVI Defense Attorneys through the years in county, municipal and mayor courts throughout Northern Ohio, we have earned respect for our knowledge of the intricacies of Ohio OVI laws, refined our strategies to investigate and defeat charges, and sharpened our skills at persuading prosecutors, judges, and juries.

This is an area of law that is ever changing with penalties becoming harsher each year. A successful defense requires an attorney who proactively researches these changes and regularly practices as an OVI lawyer.
