Our criminal defense attorneys in Columbus, Ohio are ready to work with you to ensure you get the strong defense you need and at a reasonable cost. This starts with offering a free consultation, where we can listen to your story and evaluate what your defense would entail. Then we can be upfront with you about what the cost for our services would be.
If you have been accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, is it possible to fight your charges? Many people believe that their case is hopeless and that there is nothing they can do to get their charges dropped. Nothing, however, can be further from the truth. By challenging the results of the breath test, blood test, or field sobriety test, you could get this alleged evidence thrown out of court if it can be shown that the administration or interpretation of the test was faulty.
Each state and jurisdiction has different punishments and consequences for crimes, so the answer to this question is not always clear cut. Generally speaking, a misdemeanor offense cannot carry with it a jail term of more than one year and often times may only involve probation, fines and other forms of restitution. A felony crime can carry prison sentences greater than a year, and bring with them much steeper consequences.
The short answer to this question is yes. Our legal system, though endowed with powerful rights and time-tested procedures, is far from perfect. Proclaiming yourself innocent is far from a legal defense, and you will need the assistance of an experienced attorney to gather information and refute evidence. It is a sad fact that innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they did not commit.
Another question you will have to consider when deciding which defense lawyer to handle your case is whether or not you can afford it. At The Meranda Law Firm LTD, we want to be able to provide reasonable rates to our clients so that you can get the help you need. In order to give you an idea of how much it will be, we will meet with you in a free consultation and discuss what kind of fees you could expect.
