With 24/7 availability and direct attorney contact, our legal team delivers the aggressive, round-the-clock defense you need when everything is on the line.
Strategic OVI and DUI Defense Lawyers
An arrest for operating a vehicle impaired in Ohio carries immediate administrative license suspensions, severe fines, and potential incarceration. Our focused DUI defense lawyers aggressively challenge every stage of the state's traffic stop and arrest procedures.
- Challenging the Initial Traffic Stop: We scrutinize whether police officers had reasonable suspicion to pull you over, moving to suppress improperly obtained evidence.
- Disputing Sobriety Test Validity: Our attorneys examine the administration of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests and question the scientific calibration and maintenance records of breathalyzer machines.
- Protecting Driving Privileges: We take immediate action in municipal court to appeal administrative suspensions and petition for occupational and medical driving privileges.
Aggressive Defense for Drug and Weapons Charges
Ohio narcotics and firearms laws are unforgiving, carrying mandatory prison sentences and weapon disability restrictions. Our criminal defense lawyers possess extensive trial experience combating severe felony charges.
- Drug Crime Defense: From misdemeanor possession to complex felony drug trafficking, distribution, and manufacturing allegations involving controlled substances.
- Fourth Amendment Search Violations: We aggressively litigate unconstitutional search and seizure violations conducted by law enforcement and drug task force investigators.
- Firearms and Weapons Offenses: Defending against carrying concealed weapons allegations, improper firearm handling, and petitioning courts for relief from weapons disabilities.
White-Collar Defense and Federal Offenses
Investigations by federal agencies such as the FBI, DEA, and IRS require sophisticated defense strategies long before formal indictments are handed down. Our attorneys, including former special prosecutors and Ohio Innocence Project fellows, provide discrete, powerful representation in complex white-collar matters including wire fraud, embezzlement, health care fraud, securities violations, and public corruption.
Violent Crime Defense and Theft Allegations
When you stand accused of assault, domestic violence, robbery, burglary, or homicide, you urgently need a lawyer with substantial trial courtroom credentials. We collaborate with independent forensic specialists, private investigators, and ballistics experts to dismantle the state's narrative and fight for acquittals or dismissals.
At Cohen Todd Criminal Defense, you receive the personal attention of dedicated trial advocates supported by the vast resources of an established full-service law firm. We offer free consultations, transparent payment structures, and 24/7 emergency response. If you need to find a lawyer who will stand firmly between you and the government, contact our Cincinnati office on East 5th Street immediately.
