Biography
Looking for a DUI/OVI or Criminal Lawyer in the Cincinnati, Dayton, or Northern Kentucky? I can help. Over half of the cases I work on involve a DUI or OVI. I also have experience fighting and negotiating Misdemeanor and Felony cases like drug possession, open containers, underage drinking, drug paraphernalia, obstruction of official business, gun charges, drug trafficking, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, forgery, bank robbery, white collar crime, arson, theft, kidnapping, burglary, aggravated vehicular assault, aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular homicide, child endangering, telephone communications harassment, domestic violence, sex cases, civil/domestic violence protection orders, etc.
I am licensed to practice in Ohio, Kentucky, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. I have defended criminal and traffic cases in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky areas. I have been trained to administer NHTSA Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) and completed the NHTSA Advanced Roadside Impairment Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) course that focuses on drugged driving.

For anyone who thinks they can navigate the messy world of a DUI charge without a skillful lawyer: think again. If you go it alone, it is a very complicated world and a very lonely process that is not set up in your favor from the get-go. I felt that I was presumed guilty until proven innocent. Am I ...

Great result from a bad experience
Rob helped me navigate an OVI and Refusal. I had a DUI 16 years prior and the charges were reduced with no points on my license and a 3 day program. My refusal did result in ALS, however, his relationship with the bailiff allowed me to receive driving privileges with 20 minutes of petitioning rather ...

Wonderful Attorney for a not so wonderful time!
The day I got my OVI Rob called me back IMMEDIATELY, while I was still at the sheriff’s station, on a Sunday. Rob provided quick council and gave me his cell number to call on Monday. Throughout the court proceedings I only had to appear twice, the final appearance for sentencing. I cannot express ad...
