Child Endangering Charge Reduced

A mother in her 40s was accused of abandoning her son in a city where he knew no one. Prosecutors alleged the mother had left the boy to fend for himself and charged her with child endangering. The information in the charges was wrong, and the mother knew she needed help from an attorney to set the record straight.

She turned to Attorney Brad Groene of the Cincinnati Criminal Defense team for help. Our client had no previous criminal record, and we saw how devastating this kind of charge was to her life.

We defended her in Vandalia Municipal Court, and fought to keep this black mark off of our client’s perfect record. We told prosecutors the facts presented were inaccurate, but initially our arguments fell on deaf ears and no deals were offered. The case was set for trial.

Ultimately, the prosecutor realized the flaws in the case and offered to allow our client to plead guilty to disorderly conduct instead of child endangering. She agreed, and only had to pay a fine and court costs to finish the case. She received no jail time and no probation.

Veteran’s OVI Reduced to Reckless Operation

An honorably discharged Army veteran was celebrating a holiday with some fellow veteran friends. He was pulled over in Clinton County by a police officer, who then reported noticing that the veteran smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot, watery eyes. He was given field sobriety tests and blew .161 on a breath test — above the Ohio legal limit. He was charged with OVI.

The veteran now works in the construction industry, and feared an OVI conviction on his record would cost him his job and his livelihood. He came to Attorney Brad Groene of the Cincinnati Criminal Defense team for help.

Our OVI lawyers examined every facet of his case and found there were issues with the breath test and field sobriety tests. We were able to negotiate with prosecutors to have the OVI charge reduced to reckless operation.

Theft Charge Reduced for Store Manager

A general manager of a local store in Hamilton, Ohio, found himself in a very bad situation when he was charged with theft after a night out with his friends. As someone who works in retail, a theft conviction could have ruined his career, not to mention the other potential consequences of a conviction. Knowing what was at stake, he immediately contacted Cincinnati Criminal Defense Attorney Brad Groene for help.

Groene quickly filed the necessary documents so he could review the facts and circumstances surrounding the theft allegations. Groene went to court numerous times on the store manager’s behalf. Despite several attempts at negotiation, the prosecutor was reluctant to reduce the theft charge.

Ultimately, Groene was successful in convincing the prosecutor that it was appropriate to reduce the store manager’s charge to one that would not reflect a theft on his record. His job was safe, and he spent no time in jail.

Assured Clear Distance Ticket No Problem For Student

A college student found herself in a very unfortunate situation when she was driving home from school and got into an accident. The officer who responded cited her for failing to maintain an assured clear distance ahead.

Knowing that an accident and an assured clear distance ticket on her record would dramatically increase her insurance rates, the student knew she had to take action. That’s when she contacted Cincinnati Criminal Defense Attorney Brad Groene.

Groene immediately began work on the case. He contacted the Hamilton County prosecutor and the insurance companies handling claims from the accident to gather all of the necessary information about what happened. Groene discovered that the police officer who cited the student couldn’t verify a few key facts in the case. That meant the prosecutor had a relatively weak argument if the case went to trial.

After lengthy discussions with the prosecutor, Groene was able to get the charge dismissed. The college student can know rest easily knowing she won’t have an assured clear distance conviction on her record and her insurance rates won’t go up because of this accident.
