Types of Criminal Cases We Represent

Unfortunately, even law abiding citizens can find themselves on the wrong side of the law and facing potentially serious criminal charges. You may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, been falsely accused, or you may have acted in self-defense. At the Comunale Law Office, we understand how these situations occur, and how even a single error in judgment can have a dramatic impact on your life, both now and in the years to come. We provide aggressive legal representation for those facing the following types of charges, listed under the Ohio Criminal Code:

• Alcohol-related offenses and drug crimes;
• Assault and battery;
• Domestic violence and abuse;
• Gun crimes and weapons offenses;
• Sex crimes and sexual assault;
• Theft and burglary;
• Manslaughter, homicide, and related offenses.

Potential Penalties You Could Be Facing, and How We Can Help

When you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, the potential penalties you face if convicted depend on the types of charges you face. Under Title 29 of the Ohio Revised Code, these charges are classified into two categories:

• Misdemeanor charges, which are generally imposed on those with no prior criminal record and for lesser offenses such as traffic offenses and non-violent theft crimes. These charges involve fines up to $1,000 and up to six months’ jail time.
• Felony charges are often imposed on those with a criminal past or for crimes such as robbery, assault, or attempted homicide. These charges carry heavier sentences, with fines up to $20,000 and mandatory imprisonment up to ten years or more.

These penalties can have significant impact on your work and personal life, and a criminal record can affect your ability to get a job, attend school, secure housing, or get a loan. We can help by arranging for bond hearings and disputing the evidence against you, with the goal of getting your charges dropped. In the event your case does go to trial, you can count on us to build a strong legal defense and make compelling arguments on your behalf before a jury.
