Unlawful sexual contact with minor

I was charged with u lawful sexual contact with a minor, I went seeking legal advice from several lawyers until I came to Adam Bleile he explained his plan and how he deals with a multitude of cases like this. I trusted him and choose him as my representation. Adam was always available to answer my q...uestions, calls, texts, ect. He went out of his way in court several times to go after the prosecutor For attempting to label me as a monster or some kind of criminal. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process to make sure I understood everything going on kept me updated through every step and procedure. After almost 2 years I was offered a couple plea deals to which one I was going to take. But Adam came through for me once again. He motioned for dismissal of the case and won. Today I got a call from him telling me this and I could have done a back flip from the excitement I thought my life was over, contemplated suicide, prayed every single day for it to just be over and to have my old life back and now, thanks to Adam. I can do that. Thanks for everything Adam !

Criminal issues

Adam thanks for being there. I felt like I was just being pushed through the legal system and no one cared or even took the time to listen to me. When I met you, you did take the time to listen and work on my case. You changed the outcome of my whole case for the better. Thanks so much for doing ...what you do.

False allegations

I had someone make false and embarrassing allegations against me. It made me so angry but it seemed like all the police and prosecutor just accepted everything she said as true when it was not. I first called Adam at night expecting to leave a voicemail but he actually answered the phone. He was i...n a public place, I think a restaurant, but he went someplace where he could talk to me. We spoke for about 45 minutes. I could not believe he stopped his dinner to talk with me about my issue and he never rushed me off the phone. He stopped everything and listened to the whole story. I was quite impressed. I could tell Adam has handled several cases like mine before as he immediately had a game plan. He started implementing his game plan the next morning. In the end the police got out of my life and no charges were filed. It was stressful but Adam was always one step ahead. He made it go away and I am still impressed. If you are in trouble, hire Adam.

Hire this attorney if you want your problem solved

Adam represented me recently and he handled the matter to my highest satisfaction. I was concerned and stressed about my court case but Adam constantly spoke with me and reassured me of the situation. In the end, Adam did have everything under control. Everything went exactly as he said it would. ... I could not be happier and would recommend Adam to everyone.

"I have know Adam as a practicing lawyer for more than 15 years. He has always had a strong interest in criminal law and zealously defending his clients. When I needed help on a tough sex crime case, I brought in Adam as co-counsel. He has a great rapport with jurors. He gets fired up in the courtroom -- he will not sit back and let the prosecutor or the legal system run over you. This may be the most important phone call you ever make. Call Adam today!"

"Adam is a great lawyer! I have worked with him, and against him, over the years. His success comes from his tenacity and drive. When he is seeking something for a client, he is a machine - and if you are on the other side - be prepared for a battle! That kind of zealousness for his clients combined with his thorough knowledge of the law - results in a lawyer who is very adept at achieving his clients' goals. When I see him on the other side in a case- I know I better be ready."

"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. Adam is a brilliant attorney that I regularly seek out to consult with on sex crimes cases. His knowledge, skill, reputation and expertise in this field is at the very pinnacle of the profession. In the world of criminal defense, the sex crime case is without question the most difficult case a criminal lawyer will ever handle. Very few attorneys ever take a sex crimes case, and even fewer should take one. These cases are reserved for the elite of the profession, the courtroom assassins, the top 1 percenters, and Adam is definitely a number 1 shooter in this field."

"I have known Adam for several years and have always been impressed with his aggressive defense of sex crimes. When my clients have legal issues in Cincinnati and the surrounding area, I tell them to call Adam. I recently referred a client who was being investigated for rape and pandering. Adam was able to steer the investigation away from the client and prevent the filing of charges. Adam consistently gets fantastic results and I have only received positive feedback from clients that I've referred."

"Adam Bleile is the first attorney I call regarding sex crimes cases in Southern Ohio and Kentucky. Adam and his partners do not shy away from "bad facts" or cases that other attorneys would consider "indefensible." Adam zealously defends and treats with respect people who are accused of some of the worst crimes - importuning, GSI, rape, etc. He knows RSO laws thoroughly and will do what's necessary to obtain the best results possible."
