Common Charges We Defend in Medina Municipal Court
OVI / DUI Defense
Operating a Vehicle Impaired (OVI) is one of the most common criminal charges in Medina. Whether you were pulled over on I-71, Route 18, or Pearl Road, an OVI conviction can lead to jail time, license suspension, heavy fines, and long-term consequences.
We challenge traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and chemical test results. Our Medina OVI defense attorneys fight to reduce or dismiss charges and protect your driving privileges.
Domestic Violence Defense
Domestic violence allegations are aggressively prosecuted in Medina County. Even if the alleged victim does not want to pursue charges, the State can still proceed. A conviction can result in jail, no-contact orders, firearms restrictions, and a permanent criminal record.
We defend against false accusations and fight to protect your rights, your family, and your future.
Traffic Ticket Defense
From speeding and reckless driving to driving under suspension and school zone violations, traffic charges in Medina can lead to license points, insurance increases, and license suspension.
Our attorneys handle cases from I-71, Route 3, Route 42, Route 303, and all major roadways. We aim to reduce tickets to non-moving violations and minimize the impact on your driving record.
Theft and Shoplifting Defense
Whether you’re charged with petty theft, receiving stolen property, or shoplifting, a conviction can harm your employment prospects and leave a permanent mark on your record.
We fight to dismiss or reduce theft charges, negotiate diversion options, and defend against wrongful accusations.
Assault Defense
Assault charges under ORC 2903.13 can carry jail time, fines, and long-term consequences. These cases often involve disputes, self-defense claims, or false allegations.
We build a strong defense using witness testimony, medical records, and other evidence to protect your rights.
