Chelsea Joyce Ann Panzeca

We hired Chelsea to represent our son in a Title IX action at the University of Cincinnati. Chelsea was recommended to us by a family friend who hired Chelsea in the past for their child's Title IX. We were also recommended to her by another law firm. After our first consult with her our family kn...ew we were in good hands. After a two day hearing she successfully defended my son and won the case.

If you’ve been accused of a sex crime and you’re reading these reviews in an attempt to make a decision, believe me when I say that choosing the right attorney is crucial. The stakes are extremely high, and you need the best in your corner. Chelsea Panzeca is the attorney you want on your side. I ...work as a tutor. Last year, a former student accused me of having molested her almost two years previously. Her story was barely plausible, and neither I nor my employer thought the allegations would go anywhere. My employer retained a lawyer (who is not a sex-crimes attorney) for me. I met with him and he told me that the case would likely not go anywhere. Because of COVID, it took several months for the prosecutor to take the case to a grand jury. When they did, and based on nothing more than an accusation, I was indicted on six felony charges, arrested, and spent six days in jail while awaiting bond. When I got out and considered the weight of the charges against me, I decided to search for sex crime lawyers in Cincinnati. Bleile & Dawson was the first name that popped up. I sent an inquiry through their website, and within thirty minutes, Adam Bleile was calling to discuss my case. We talked for a couple of hours, and I was calmed by his demeanor and expertise. He invited me to come down to his office that day to meet with him and Chelsea. After I hung up, I saw that I had a missed call from Chelsea while I was talking to Adam. I was impressed by how quickly they had gotten back to me. During the initial meeting, I told them that trial was the endgame because I would not even consider taking a plea for something that I did not do, despite the fact that the penalty is mandatory life without parole. After talking with both of them, and despite having already talked to Adam before I got there, I realized that Chelsea was the one I wanted advocating for me. She told me during the initial meeting that she genuinely enjoys going to trial. That fact was apparent throughout the entire process. Her keen, analytical mind is well-suited for this kind of case. The closer we got to the trial date, the more excited she seemed to get. I met with Chelsea and Adam several times over the course of a year, and emailed Chelsea several more. Chelsea kept me informed of everything that was happening, and I always felt better after talking to her. Chelsea always responded to my emails in a timely manner and answered all of my questions along the way. One week before trial, the prosecutor dismissed the charges. I firmly believe that having a dedicated, experienced attorney in my corner helped, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you have been accused of a sex crime, there is no better advocate than Chelsea Panzeca. Thanks again, Chelsea, for everything you did to help me get my life back.

Chelsea is the best attorney in Cincinnati! She is dedicated to her cases and made me feel like I was her only client! She never put me or my case on the back burner. She researched deeply into my case and found new and unique ways to fight for me! The judge was very impressed with Chelsea's thinking... outside of the box and I firmly believe that is why we won the case!
