​Criminal Law

Facing charges for crimes against another person or crimes against property? Then you are facing a serious, possibly life-altering, event. A criminal defense attorney is your best line of defense to protect your rights at each stage of your case.  As a former prosecutor, Attorney Darren Meade knows every step: from the initial contact with the investigating authorities all the way to post conviction work such as appeals and expungement.
 
How do I choose a lawyer?
 
Consider the following.
  • Are you comfortable telling the lawyer your personal information?
  • How long has the lawyer been in practice? Do they have experience with the kind of case you have been charged with?
  • Where is the lawyer’s office located? Close to you?  Close to the Courts? Sometimes an attorney with specific experience will be best regardless of distance.
 
Attorney Darren Meade has been practicing Criminal Law for over 25 years. When you are accused of a crime, hiring the right criminal defense attorney is what matters most. Call today to speak to Attorney Darren Meade and put the power of a prosecutor on your side.

DUI and OVI

One small mistake can wreak havoc on your insurance, your job, and family life. Drunk driving carries substantial mandatory penalties in Ohio, even for a first offense. Incarceration, license suspensions, and substantial fines are all required if convicted of DUI/OVI, and even a first conviction can result in up to 6 months jail and/or a 3 year license suspension. ​

You can hire an attorney before being charged. If you have been contacted by the police regarding an investigation, contact us.
 
Facing felony charges can be frightening because you are facing very serious consequences.
