Category: 2014

After making the bad decision to drive home after a few drinks, a woman in her 20s was charged with OVI , a misdemeanor of the first degree, and assured clear distance ahead. When the police officer issued a breath test, she blew a .143. As a part-time student working to earn her bachelor’s degree and also a full-time employee, she knew that an OVI on her record would impact her chances of getting hired for a job in her desired field.

She sought out Cincinnati OVI attorney Brad Groene to help her with her legal situation. With no prior criminal record and just a couple of minor traffic violations on her driving record, she was hoping to avoid the maximum penalties of an OVI conviction. In analyzing the evidence against the client, Brad’s defense hinged on a dismissal of the breath test and the field sobriety tests issued by the police. After attending four court dates in Hamilton County Municipal Court, the OVI charge was reduced to a reckless operation . This means our client ended up avoiding a OVI conviction that would suspend her driving privileges and seriously impact her future.

Category: 2014

We recently helped a young woman in her 20s, a security guard at a local mall, avoid a theft conviction . She was in a very complicated situation where she was held up at gunpoint and forced to withdraw money while she was at work. Based on the amount alleged to have been stolen, the theft charge was a felony of the fifth degree. The police, upon interrogating her, did not believe her story. They believed she stole the money and subsequently charged her.

As a new mother and a security guard, a felony on her record would have been devastating for her job and her livelihood. She had never been in legal trouble before and was extremely worried about her future. She hired Brad Groene, a Cincinnati felony lawyer, to represent her on this case. After reviewing the evidence, Brad built a defense based on the conflicting stories, credible witnesses who observed the scenario as it happened, and text messages. After attending two court dates in Clermont County, the charge was dismissed. The client did not have a felony conviction on her record and was able to move on with her life.

A man in his mid-40s was driving one evening and was charged with a drug-related OVI , a misdemeanor of the first degree, and speeding. Unfortunately, the man is a recovering heroin addict who relapsed that night and made the mistake of getting into his car and driving home. As a reputable businessman with a good job, having an OVI on his record would have ended his career.

He turned to Brad Groene, a Cincinnati OVI attorney with im电竞官网, to represent him in Middletown Municipal Court. The client had some minor moving traffic violations on his record, along with some lower-level misdemeanors. With experience in representing OVI cases in the Cincinnati area for years, Brad focused on analyzing the urine test results and the evidence against the client. Frequently, evidence can be suppressed if it is obtained illegally. He also moved to suppress observations made by the arresting officer at the scene. Brad attended over five court dates on the client’s behalf and was able to get the charge reduced down to a reckless operations charge . Ultimately, the client did not have an OVI conviction on his record and slept easy knowing that his job and life were still intact.

Recently, a retired man in his mid-50s was charged with illegal conveyance, a third-degree felony, in Warren County Municipal Court. He was in an unfortunate position where he thought he was helping his son. The man’s son, a prison inmate, requested that the retired man bring a pack of cigarettes to him. Our client did so, reluctantly. It turned out that the package of cigarettes had drugs in them.

Our client had never been in any kind of legal trouble before. Other than a few speeding tickets over the years, he had never faced any criminal charges or had to deal with the legal system. Complicating matters further, he was in the process of trying to get custody of one of his grandchildren. A felony conviction on his record would burden that process significantly. He turned to im电竞官网, where Cincinnati felony lawyer Brad Groene was able to help him. Brad attended four court dates for the client, and our defense was based solely on what our client believed and dismissal of statements.

After attending several court dates and having numerous conversations with the prosecutor, we were able to negotiate the felony charge down to a misdemeanor with a suspended sentence. Ultimately, this meant that our client is not a felon. He will be able to get custody of his granddaughter and he will not have to serve any jail time. The charge of illegal conveyance meant that he originally had been facing three (3) years in jail with a potential $7,500 fine. He ended up with a $250 fine, no jail time, and no felony on his record.

Recently, a young man in his mid-20s was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia in Fairborn Municipal Court, both of which are minor misdemeanors in the State of Ohio. He was enjoying a night out at a party when law enforcement officers arrived because of a noise complaint. He was extremely concerned about his job at a drugstore, since any drug-related conviction on his record would have meant losing his job.

Cincinnati defense lawyer Brad Groene represented the young man, who had previously had an alcohol violation on his record. The defense centered around the client’s constitutional rights, which had been violated in the process. Brad attended three court dates on the young man’s behalf. After negotiating with the prosecutor on the case and creating an argument on the client’s behalf, he was able to get the charge reduced down to a disorderly conduct charge. The client avoided the mandatory license suspension that accompanies a drug conviction and was able to keep his job.
