​Criminal Law

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. ​

Drug-Related Offenses

Besides imprisonment, a  drug conviction on your record could ruin your chances for housing, employment, maintaining your professional license and continuing education.​

Sex Offense Accusations

​Allegations of sex offenses are very serious and can carry harsh penalties. In addition, it can impact your life with registration requirements, employment difficulties, and denial of housing. Do not risk your future. Retain our services immediately.​

Juvenile Delinquincy

Juvenile proceedings are substantially different from adult criminal prosecutions and require specialized experience for teens who have made a mistake.​

​Misdemeanors and Traffic Violations

Even a small matter in the courts, such as traffic violations, can have an impact on your insurance or your job. Before you settle on a plea, talk with Attorney Darren L. Meade, who has navigated the courtroom for over 20 years. In many years as a municipal and juvenile court prosecutor, Darren has tried hundreds of non-OVI/DUI traffic trials, including Speeding, Driving Under Suspension, and Hit-and-Run. ​
