Zushin, located in Akron, Ohio, provides elite, aggressive criminal defense representation for individuals facing misdemeanor and felony allegations across the State of Ohio. Founded by dedicated trial attorney Benjamin W. Zushin, our firm is built on a simple philosophy: we do not just negotiate plea deals; we prepare every single case for trial.

Strategic Defense Against Misdemeanors and Felonies

A criminal conviction can destroy your career, drain your savings, and strip you of your freedom. At our firm, we handle a wide range of criminal matters, from minor misdemeanors to serious felony charges, including drug possession, theft, assault, weapons violations, and white-collar offenses. As a former assistant prosecuting attorney, Benjamin Zushin has unique insight into how cases are built, what evidence matters, and where police procedures often fall short of constitutional requirements. If you need to find a defense attorney who will aggressively challenge state evidence, cross-examine witnesses with precision, and fight for a complete dismissal or reduction of charges, we offer the battle-tested defense your case deserves.

Specialized OVI, DUI, and Traffic Ticket Representation

An arrest for operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI/DUI) or receiving a major traffic violation can lead to automatic driver's license suspensions, high fines, and skyrocketing insurance premiums. For many, losing a driver's license means losing their livelihood. Our legal team aggressively contests OVI arrests and traffic tickets in local municipal and common pleas courts, reviewing breathalyzer calibration reports, field sobriety test videos, and the validity of the initial traffic stop to identify critical flaws in the state's case. If you need a DUI lawyer in Akron to protect your driving privileges and keep your record clean, our office provides the focused representation necessary to navigate these technical cases successfully.

Why Choose an Experienced Trial Attorney"

Many attorneys prefer to stay comfortable behind a desk, looking to resolve every case with a quick plea deal that may not be in your best interest. However, prosecutors do not file indictments or issue tickets because they want to negotiate; they do so because they expect to win. Benjamin Zushin is a true trial attorney who embraces the courtroom battle. Having practiced as both a public defender and a prosecutor, he has developed the instincts, timing, and courtroom presence necessary to win difficult cases before a jury. We analyze your case meticulously, evaluate all risks, and develop a customized, trial-ready strategy that ensures your constitutional rights are never compromised.
