Continuing Education

I believe that maintaining your education is one of the most important things that a lawyer can do and I have spoken and lectured at various seminars since my third year of practice.

Example Cases

8/23/2010: Client charged with her 2nd DUI/OVI in Columbus, Ohio. A mandatory minimum 20 day jail term was reduced to a three day program and three days at a jail alternative center. She was not placed on probation, but her license was suspended for six months along with a $1000 fine.

8/23/2010: Client, a Dublin resident, was charged with a 1st offense DUI/OVI in Ohio. He allegedly failed field sobriety tests and elected not to give a sample of his breath to the police. DUI was amended to Reckless Operation, with a license suspension of two days, non-reporting probation, and a $250 fine.
