Experienced Central Ohio Criminal Defense Attorney
Criminal charges can result in serious consequences that include incarceration, probation, fines, impact on career, and a permanent criminal record. If you are under investigation or have been arrested and face a potential criminal conviction, you need an Ohio criminal defense attorney who has the skills to represent you effectively.
At the law office of Shawn R. Dominy, my practice is limited to criminal defense. I have practiced criminal defense in the greater Columbus, Ohio area from the beginning of my career and have extensive experience with misdemeanor and felony criminal cases. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation.
Part of my job as a criminal defense lawyer is to identify when the government does not play by the rules and use those situations to the benefit of my client. Doing so not only benefits my individual client, but also benefits the community as a whole by ensuring that we are all protected by the rule of law under the Constitution.
A criminal case in central Ohio follows a certain process. During the investigative phase of the process, I uncover the evidence of the case and work to protect your rights throughout the investigation. During the courtroom phase, I will:
- Research legal issues
- Move for the suppression of illegal evidence
- Negotiate with the prosecuting attorney
- Take the case to trial when appropriate
- Prepare mitigation for sentencing when necessary
Not all criminal cases are the same. For example, a felony drug offense will likely involve issues that are distinct from a sex offense or a misdemeanor shoplifting offense. In addition, a criminal case in one county, like Franklin County, may be treated differently than a criminal case in another county, such as Delaware County. I represent clients with all types of criminal charges in courts throughout central Ohio.
My clients come from all walks of life in central Ohio communities, mostly from the suburbs of Columbus. My office is located in Powell, Ohio and I represent clients in courts in the greater Columbus area. While this suburban location is convenient for my clients and for me, I am in court on a regular basis in Franklin County, Delaware County and other counties in central Ohio.
If you are charged with a criminal offense in central Ohio, contact me to find out how I can help you.
