TRAFFIC / CRIMINAL DEFENSE:
I have represented over the road truck drivers since 1995. Traffic convictions can cause your insurance rates to skyrocket.
DRIVING IS A PRIVILEGE, NOT A GOD GIVEN RIGHT.
Too many points on your license can cause you to lose your license. Too many points on your drivers license can cause you to lose your job / or company car privileges, etc.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS INSURE YOUR VEHICLE.
THE BUREAU OF MOTOR VEHICLES (BMV) WILL SUSPEND THE DRIVER'S LICENSE IF THE LAPSE IN INSURANCE IS DISCOVERED EVEN IF THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN FOR ANY REASON, No engine, no wheels, no transmission, etc.
DUI:
People make mistakes. Ohio law severely punishes people who drive while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However, even if you are convicted of DUI there are still many things a competent lawyer can do to help you.
Breathalizer tests frequently provide conclusive evidence of DUI.
Refusing breathilizer or urinalysis triggers a two year automatic Administrative License Suspension through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
Drug intoxication is determined through urinalysis or blood analysis.
If you are convicted of Driving Under the Influence you can be sentenced from a minimum of three days or up to six months in jail and up to a One Thousand Dollar ($1,000.00) fine. You will have to obtain high risk insurance and your license will be suspended for six months.
Sometimes they take things that belong to other people or worse.
People who violate laws and are caught usually suffer some penalty.
An unrepresented defendant will almost always suffer harsher penalties than an unrepresented defendant.
Don't risk higher insurance rates from unnecessary points on your license.
Don't plea to a higher degree of offense and risk a higher penalty.
Don't suffer license suspensions if you don't have to.
Don't go to jail if you don't have to.
DISABILITY LAW - CONTINGENCY FEES:
I REPRESENT MOST DISABILITY CLAIMS ON A CONTINGENCY BASIS. I ONLY EARN A CONTINGENCY FEE WHEN I WIN YOUR CASE. (There must be a backlog of benefits / payments from which to pay the attorney fee)
Patience and refusal to give up are the most important important traits a disabled person needs. If you give up on your claim it can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Sometimes giving up can make you lose your rights FOREVER!
WORKERS COMPENSATION:
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ARE PAID TO "PROCESS" YOUR CLAIM DOCUMENTS. FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHTS IS NOT THEIR JOB. (See more below)
SOCIAL SECURITY:
AGAIN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ARE PAID TO PROCESS YOUR CLAIM DOCUMENTS. SOCIAL SECURITY EMPLOYEES DEAL WITH HUNDREDS OF UNHAPPY PEOPLE EVERY DAY. UNHAPPY CLAIMANTS MAKE WORK CONDITIONS HARD FOR CLAIMS REPRESENTATIVES. THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE SOMEONE WORKING FOR YOU WHO WILL REPRESENT YOUR NEEDS (See more below)
VA DISABILITY BENEFITS:
VETERANS ADMINISTRATION EMPLOYEES WORK FOR THE VA THEY DON'T WORK FOR YOU! Claims Representatives are not paid to help protect your legal rights. The Claims Representatives are paid to process your claim documents only. They are not paid to help you get your VA benefits. (See more below)
ALL FRAUDULENT BENEFIT CLAIMS ARE BAD.
HOWEVER, MY PROFESSIONAL VIEW OF DISABILITY LEGAL SYSTEMS, i.e. Social Security, Workers Compensation, Veterans Benefits, etc. IS THAT THE AGENCIES RESPONSIBLE FOR GRANTING OR DENYING DISABILITY CLAIMS SOMETIMES PLACE MORE EMPHASIS ON PREVENTING FRAUD THAN THEY SPEND ON ENSURING THAT THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY DISABLED GET THEIR DISABILITY BENEFITS.
FREQUENTLY PEOPLE WITH VALID DISABILITY CLAIMS OR VALID LEGAL DEFENSES FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE TO ARGUE THE FACTS ON THEIR BEHALF.
MY 17 YEARS OF LEGAL EXPERIENCE AND MY PASSION TO AGGRESSIVELY FIGHT FOR MY CLIENTS' RIGHTS HAVE ENABLED ME PROTECT THOUSANDS OF CLIENTS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE SUFFERED DEVASTATING RESULTS. DISABILITY CLAIMANTS AND TRAFFIC / CRIMINAL DEFENDANT'S DON'T HAVE THE TRAINING TO PRESENT TO THE IMPORTANT FACTS TO PERSUADE THE DECISION MAKER THAT THE DECISION FAVORABLE TO CLAIMANTS OR TRAFFIC / CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS.
NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL YOUR ATTORNEY TELLS YOU HE OR SHE CAN DO NOTHING MORE TO HELP WITH YOUR LEGAL PROBLEMS.
