Our criminal defense attorneys handle felony and misdemeanor cases including drug charges, domestic violence, and sex crimes. With former prosecutorial experience, we develop strategic defenses for clients facing state or federal charges. Our approach combines aggressive courtroom representation with negotiation skills to seek charge reductions or dismissals.

Specializing in Ohio DUI/OVI defense, we challenge chemical test results and police procedures for first-time or repeat offenses. Our strategies address license suspension risks and mandatory penalties while protecting clients' professional and personal interests through court reductions to lesser charges.

We handle divorce, child custody, and spousal support cases with sensitivity to emotional challenges. Our attorneys negotiate property divisions and parenting plans while advocating for clients' parental rights in contested or uncontested proceedings across Dayton's courts.
