Clarify something for me so I can better answer your question. The way I read your question, it sounds as if your Son was convicted of a Felony for HAVING THE GUN, while OVI? Not that he was arrested for a Felony OVI? If that is the case, then HB86 MAY be able to HELP HIM! IF (a BIG IF), he was charged with a Felony Improper Transport of a Firearm because he was OVI and had a gun. As the previous posts from the other learned Counsel indicated, HB86 does not NECESSARILY help him, if...

You will need to file a Motion for Exgungement in the court where you were convicted. They are not difficult, if they go uncontested.

A Criminal Defense Attorney can help you with something like this. It generally does not cost that much money to have an attorney handle it for you. Feel free to call me for a referral to a...

Do you have an OVI Attorney helping you already? If so, WHY ARE YOU ON HERE SECOND-GUESSING HIM/HER? But, yes, there are many reasons why an OVI can get reduced, dismissed, or found not-guilty. One of the defenses could be related to prior trauma, such as prior head trauma. Best regards, Mark Mark A. Deters, Esq. PENICK & DETERS 1800 Lyons Rd. Dayton, Ohio 45458 (937) 434-7100– tel.

In this type of case, the last thing you want to do is plead guilty and pay a fine. Although this would be a misdemeanor possession of marijuana and the fine imposed on you would be around $150, there are severe collateral consequences that often follow a conviction of misdemeanor marijuana possession. Some of these collateral consequences or penalties can include automatic driver’s license suspension, ineligibility to academic financial aid, not being able to possess a firearm,...

Depends on a number of things, not the least of which is your Criminal Record, the facts of the case, what was stolen, how you reacted, were you cooperative, etc. You should meet with a Criminal Defense Attorney so that you can discuss your options further, and find out defenses you may have. Moreover, there may be options for you, including diversion programs, etc. The...

If you have a good DUI Defense Attorney, you should be asking him/her these questions. If you do not think you have a good lawyer, and are concerned about pleading guilty, then you should seek alternate advice. Have you spoken with your retained lawyer recently? Your options may be to go to trial, and if you lost, to appeal the Judge's pre-trial decisions. But, you will lose your right to appeal the Judge's pre-trial decisions if you plead guilty! But, again, speak with your lawyer!...
