GREAT JOB ATTORNEY J.R. BERNANS!

On June 3rd in the Clermont County Common Pleas Court General Division, Attorney J.R. Bernans successfully secured a full dismissal of a civil protection order prior to a full hearing.

A dispute arose between a daughter, her father and the father’s long-term girlfriend over control of her father’s assets and inheritance. The daughter sought control over her father and did not like her power of attorney being taken away.

The daughter sought a menacing by stalking civil protection under Ohio Revised Code 2903.214 claiming that her dad had suffered physical harm or mental distress at the hands of his girlfriend.

Despite the father asking for a dismissal at the ex parte hearing, the temporary protection order was granted and a full trial scheduled. Upon getting involved, J.R. immediately took a proactive approach – interviewing witnesses, finding exculpatory exhibits, and filing motions with the Court seeking a dismissal.

Prior to trial commencing, J.R. argued that the case be dismissed for improper venue, the court’s lack of jurisdiction, and a lack of standing on behalf of the petitioner. The Court agreed and threw out the case and reunited two people who were forcibly ripped apart.

At the Law Offices of Steve Adams, we take a proactive approach to all litigation and do not simply wait for plea offers or resolutions to appear. We believe pre-trial litigation, independent investigation and knowing every aspect of your case is the key to obtaining the most beneficial outcome possible. If you need any assistance or would like to discuss your case, call us at 513-929-9333.

NOT GUILTY! ⚖️

Attorney Tad Brittingham and his client, who was charged with Aggravated Menacing, participated in a Bench Trial on June 2nd, 2026, in Butler County Area II Court.

After hearing the evidence, the Court returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY.

This outcome reflects the importance of a thorough defense, careful examination of the facts, and the fundamental principle that every person is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Congratulations to our client on this favorable result.

When an OVI involves serious injury or death, Ohio charges it as a separate felony carrying mandatory prison time and lifetime license loss. But conviction is not automatic. The prosecution has to prove the impaired driving was the proximate cause. Our new blog explains how these charges work and where the defense opportunities are. https://1l.ink/LGL83PD
