Cincinnati/Tri-State Criminal and DUI Defense Attorney, Legal Analyst at 700WLW and Law & Crime Channel, Expert Witness and Consultant in Ohio Bar Disciplinary Matters Whether you are seeking to contest your charges or to try to obtain a favorable resolution to your case, competent legal representation is a must. I work to provide aggressive and thorough representation in the areas of criminal def
ense at both the state and federal levels, DUI defense, and juvenile law. I have defended cases ranging from the most serious felonies, including capital murder (death penalty) and other homicides, serious s*x offenses, robberies, and kidnappings, to DUI cases, assault cases, and other misdemeanors and traffic cases. I have taken numerous felony and misdemeanor cases to trial. I have also served as Special Counsel for Hamilton County. I am certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (the field tests for DUI), and I am also certified by the Ohio Supreme Court to represent defendants in death penalty cases. I have been active with the Cincinnati Bar Association (CBA) for much of my career. In 2008, I completed the Cincinnati Academy of Leadership for Lawyers (CALL) Program through the CBA in my first year of eligibility. I currently serve on three committees for the CBA. I am a member of the Professionalism Committee, the Vice Chair for the Health and Well-Being Committee, and I am the past Chair for the Lawyer Referral Service Board Advisory Committee. I have presented at CLEs through the CBA about professional conduct and wellness. I have written articles for the CBA Report on fitness and wellness, and I have also given presentations about fitness for attorneys. Outside of the CBA, I have been a regular guest for legal commentary and other topics on the Bill Cunningham show as well as on other shows on 700 WLW. I have presented at CLEs about false confessions, I have provided legal instruction in Ohio Concealed Carry Training classes, and I am a New Lawyer Mentor through the Ohio Supreme Court. Unrelated to any of my work, I was also the announcer for University of Cincinnati home swimming meets for three seasons. Prior to opening my law practice in October 2003, I was an associate for the law firm Delev & Williams. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati Law School in 2002, and I was admitted to the Ohio bar the same year. In 2003, I was admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. I attended the University of Cincinnati for my undergraduate work, during which time I earned multiple academic honors while I was a 4-year letterwinner for the varsity swim team.
